“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or women seek not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.

-   B.C. Forbes

Honesty is one of the most important parts of character and one of the ones that define you the most. An honest person doesn’t try to avoid things they face them with the truth no matter how harsh it is. When you are honest you portray a better quality of yourself which people will see and judge you on. Who doesn’t like an honest person? An example of this great statement is when you find something valuable, an honest person does not keep it they look for the owner and return it. An honesty person is always at peace because they have nothing to hide or feel guilty of.

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

When you live in truth you live in a much happier life. Living in truth you live in peace. When you make wrong decisions for example lie that you didn’t cheat on a test when you know you did is not living in safe grounds. You are living in the worst grounds that can make you unhappy. You will only be able to stand strong and proud on the grounds of truth.

“Improve your performance by improving your attitude.”

-Anon

 The way you act or perform in a certain area depends a lot on your attitude towards it. Surround yourself with positive energy in order to perform better at the things you do. For example before taking a test do not put yourself down about it, be positive go in there feeling confident. The confidence in yourself will allow you to perform better on the test than you would with a negative attitude.

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.”

This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

-John Wooden

Give it you’re all in everything that you do. You will never be able to go back and rewind time, so why not make the best out of the day and improve yourself? You should always try and improve yourself at everything you do because practice makes perfect. Whether it’s learning how to do something or it’s in a job, you should always improve each day. By improving and giving it your all at something like work you will get promoted to a better job. It never hurts to not improve and give it your all so why not do it?

The Three Don’ts

·       Don’t Whine

·       Don’t Complain

·       Don’t Make Excuses

                         -John Wooden

I agree with Wooden these three don’t will not get you anywhere. When whining, complaining, and making excuses you are just wasting time. If you are doing these three don’t with a homework assignment it won’t get you anywhere. At the end of the day you will have nothing done and you are still required to turn it in. Follow John Wooden words they will get you far in life.

“The Three Nevers”

Never lie

Never Cheat

Never steal

-John Wooden

John Wooden words are words to follow. One should never to the three nevers because it will lead one to horrible consequences. With doing the three never nothing good comes out of it; your freedom will be limited, you will be unhappy, unsuccessful, and etc. If you never lie, never cheat, and never steal, you are preparing yourself for success you will live much happier. If in attest you cheat and lie, you will not deserve the grade given to you and that will follow you forever. Never do the three nevers as John Wooden says to enjoy life.

        

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.

“It’s not WHERE you live but HOW you live that counts. It’s not where you play the game but HOW you play the game that counts.”
-Mr. Haymore

This statement has a lot of truth in it and all people should keep in mind. It is not where you do things that count but the things you do. All that matters is how you do things, because how you do things is what will affect or matter to you and others. For example, if a student living in Huntington Park try’s his/her best to enroll in a good college and a student in Malibu doesn’t give it his/ her all and slacks off, the person from Huntington Park will have the benefit because he/she gave it her all. It will not matter where but HOW you do things will.

“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.

 “You will never regret doing what’s right.”
        -Anon

I strongly agree with this statement. You will never feel bad for doing the right thing. For example, if you help an elder cross the street you will not regret it you will actually feel like a better person. On the contrary when you do something bad like cheat on a test you feel guilty and always have it in your conscience. When you do what’s right you always seem to feel better , to life a happier life.
