“Always do right.”

-Mark Twain

Make sure in everything that you do you think twice before doing it to make sure it is the right decision. No matter what you are doing, do right. In always doing right you live above the line, the line of success and goodness. An example of always doing the right, is always helping the ones the in need no matter who the individual is. Always do right to live on the line of success.

“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”

-Robert E. Lee

Practice choosing, and doing the right so it will then come natural to you. Make decisions that you know will take you in the right direction, and help you achieve something. Doing things often, practicing them only makes you better at them. If you continue to always choose the right and do the rights things in no time you will be an expert on doing what is right. A similar idea to this is when you learn how to ride a bicycle; you keep practicing and practicing until you become an expert. Practice the right and live happy.

“I think it better to do right, even If we suffer in doing so, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity.”

-Robert E. Lee

It is always better to go through a little pain in choosing the right, than to suffer later on and more in choosing the wrong. There is always something that we would not like to do even if it’s the right them because we are lazy, trying to be “cool”, have no worries etc. but she should always overcome them because choosing the wrong guiding yourself through these emotions will only hurt in the long run. An example is if your teacher says you have an essay for homework, it won’t be turned in but it sure will help you. You decide not to do it because you’re lazy and want to have fun, but the day of a test or a timed essay you will suffer because you have no practice.

“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”

-Marcus Aurelius

Always follow the right, and be truthful in everything you do or say. You should be truthful, because with untruthful things said and done there always individuals who’s feelings get hurt. For example in high school there are always rumors, and they spread with people who are untruthful. This is where statement comes in is if students in high school would follow this, there will not be rumors or people’s feelings being hurt. Be truthful with everything!

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

Moments of decisions are often stressful, you may get confused and not know what to do or maybe feel rushed. When you are in the moment always choose the right thing and that will always be the best. If you friends are rushing you and keep on pressuring you to go to a party instead of finishing your essay for AP English, and you do not know what to decide whether fun or school work do the right thing. It will help you out later and it will not put you in bad consequences.

 

Man Returns Stolen Cash

            Man Returns Stolen Cash

Summary: A man had stolen money from a Sears in Seattle, Washington and returned 60 years later to return the money he had stolen with interests. The man was caught on camera, but Sears will not release the footage.
Reflection: The man made a wrong decision 60 years ago, and had been living in guilt ever since. This is a great example, of how with choosing the wrong come negative consequences. You will live with the regret for the rest of your life, or until you do something to change it like the man did. He’s conscience would not let him live in peace until he paid back that money he took with no permission.  Always choose the right because with choosing the wrong only, negative things will result.

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.”

-Albert A. Montapert

Every decision that you make has a consequence whether it is positive or negative. You live your consequences there is no way to escape them, be wise in your choices. If you decide to go out to the movies and you do not study for your test, your consequence will be you will not pass your test. There is nothing you can do anymore, you can’t change the past or relive the moment, life goes on and you live your consequence.  No matter what you decide, you will not escape the consequence that comes with it, you can never change things.

“Success is dependent on effort.”

    -Sophocles, Greek dramatist

Success will lead you far in life, but you cannot be successful without effort. Everything you want to accomplish not only success depends on your effort. The effort to be someone in life, to prove others wrong, all the effort will lead you to success. If you want to achieve good grades, you need to put in effort! If you don’t put effort into your grades no one else will and your grades will suffer.  Put in effort in everything you do to become successful.

How to Take on College Studying Part 2

How to Take on College Studying

Part 2

Choose Where to Study

Where you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type of work you are planning to do.

      The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space—usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

      For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

      When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve Your Study Habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying.

      Have a routine for where and when you study.

      Choose reasonable and specific goals you can accomplish for each study session.

      Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.

      Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.

      Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.

      Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

Choose The Right!

Sportsmanship

Sportsmanship: Jenna and Deb

Summary: Two cross-country runs, Jenna Huff and Deb were going against each other to take their team to state champion-ship. Deb had been ahead Jenna the whole race, in the last lap Deb stops she had dislocated her growth plate. Jenna gets her assuring she is in front of her and helps her to the finish line, so Deb could win like it was supposed to happen.

Reflection: This is a great example of sportsmanship, and of choosing the right. Jenna had her chance to win the race, but as she said “I knew it was the right thing to do” she put aside her desire to win and helped her opponent finish the race. There are very few people in the world willing to lose something so important in helping others. Jenna Huff has set the best example for people/athletes all around the world. It is always better to show your good sportsmanship and help others out.

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do”

-Alex Linares

When choosing the right, things always go perfect. When you choose the wrong negative things come in consequence. How can you go wrong by making right decisions that make your future positive? You can’t! You should always choose the right because that decision will lead you to positive paths, to successful paths. A way of choosing the right is, helping, your friend study for a test instead of going out to a movie. By helping your friend, you helped yourself review for the test as well and you helped someone better themselves. Always choose the right when you are confused, because you’ll never be wrong. 

Reflection : Good Sportsmanship

Reflection

In a softball competition Sarah from the Western Oregon team, batted her first homeroom but with that homeroom she batted her softball career. Sarah had torn her ACL and was on the flooring hugging the base; her teammates were not allowed to touch her.  That is when Mallory and Liz from the opposing team Central Washington carried her to all the bases until she made her first homerun. This is the best example of good sportsmanship. Mallory and Liz did not have to carry her, they could have just left her there, but winning the game did not matter to them, they were loyal and helped Sarah out because she deserved it.  Central Washington lost the game, but they gained much more respect and left that field with loyalty. Mallory and Liz are a great example to people all over the world, loyalty and good sportsmanship are very important.

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible.”

-Ezra T. Benson

When you choose the wrong, it always comes with a feeling a regret. When choosing the wrong you will also have negative consequences. An example would be if you see someone you could help walk down the stairs because he/she is caring many things and that person falls and unfortunately ends up in a hospital, you will always feel the guilt that you could have done something. You will always have a feeling of regret, a feeling of guilt because you could have prevented it. In order to be happy and live a better life you should always do the right things. Doing the wrong things you will never have peace in your mind.

“The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is—‘I will form good habits and become their slaves.’”

-Og Mandino

          Your habits are the most important because your habits can lead you to the bad or the good. When a person has good habits, they will be successful. On the other hand the person who has bad habits will be on the path to failure. For example, both a person with good habits and a person with bad habits apply for a job, the person with good habits will impress the manger and win over the job. No one wants to hire someone with bad habits that will represent their company wrong. You should always obey the good habits, follow them in order to be successful.

“You make your habits and your habits make you.”
-ANON

This statement is a proven true statement. Habits are things you do constantly, it is hard to change them because you don’t even notice when you are doing them. Your habits define you. People will judge you by your habits; they make you who you are. For example for some people curing is a habit, that habit makes them. They are judged by that habit every day. You habits make you so be careful what they are.

“It’s our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good).”

-Joseph Smith

          Today’s generation is known for making popular the bad things and unpopular the good things. But it is up to US to change that to put a stop to that. WE need to take it as our responsibility to make the good popular and the bad unpopular. For example the bad use of drugs is very popular among teens, and it is our duty to change that to make unpopular by saying the right thing no to drugs. Take it upon you to make a difference to change the good into popular and make a change in the world.

“What’s right isn’t always popular: What’s popular isn’t always right.”

        Howard Cosell

The right things, what is right it not very common because people don’t often do it. Some people are afraid to do the right thing because they will get maked fun of or considered unpopular. The popular things usually involve making bad decisions, decisions that people think are “cool”.  For example many teens in the generation smoke marijuana, a bad decision but they do it because its popular. They think if they make the right decision and walk away from it they won’t be popular they won’t fit in. Another example is helping others out, in high school this is a big problem. Many students don’t help other students in need out because that is not popular; you are considered “weird” or a “nerd” the unpopular thing. Whether the right decision is unpopular or popular you should always make them! 

High School Graudation

High School Graduation--- Pleasure or Pain

The day of anyone’s high school graduation should be great accomplishment. You have gone through years and years of school to accomplish the first great step towards your future. For those who choose the right, give it their all in school will get to experience high school as a pleasure. For others who choose the wrong, and lack of it will be a pain… a pain that they did not get to accomplish such a goal with their classmates. Yet for some people you could work hard and make it to graduation, and one simple thing can ruin it. For example the daughter on Sharon Cooper, a mother arrested for cheering in her daughters graduation. Tears of happiness turned into tears of sadness for Coopers after seeing her mother arrested in a van. Graduation is a one in a life time experience that you should make a pleasure with choosing the right and following the right path. It only takes a few minutes to turn the pleasure of graduation into a pain, be wise and choose the right and keep high school graduation as a pleasure , an honor , and an accomplishment.

“The time is always right to do what is right.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

This statement can be viewed in many different ways. I view it as it is always time to do what is right. I also view is as for good deeds there will never be a wrong time. The good is always welcomed at any time. You cannot put a time for good things. For example to help someone is a test, or even stand up for what you believe is right and will help others like Martin Luther King Jr. there is never a wrong timing.
