"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." 

By: George Washington

What this quote defines is that of you bring friends along with you to places and you know how they act (negative) then you are better of alone. In my opinion I rather be alone in bad company because I either don't want to be embarrassed or hang out with the wrong crowd. If they are putting you down or giving you negative advice, just leave them because those people aren't worth your time. If you are alone you won't have to worry about anyone else but yourself. You will only have to worry about taking care of yourself and you should. You have stay focused on yourself not others. You should never depend on anyone but yourself. You shouldn't worry about being alone because friends become fake or stop talking to you. They come and go

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."

I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what's right."

By: Dean Smith

  What i understand is that all he wanted to do was the right. He wasn't trying to leave a legacy. He just wanted people to do whats right. He never intended to leave his named marked, he wanted to have people do whats right for others. He was a ctr person. An example would be that he made alot of players go to the NBA. He left a legacy because he was being rewarded, that he choose the right. And people wanted to remember him. so they named a stadium after him. He had to be rewarded for ctr.

Body-Mind-Spirit

"Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body, mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being." 

By: Mr. C.S. Haymore

What I understand about this quote is that everybody takes advantage of their body, mind, and spirit. Like somebody can't control what you're eating or what you'r eating. Or what you're feeling. You, yourself can only take control of that. Nobody else but you. And it's really your responsibility to take care of that. For example, people do so much harm to their body by getting piercings, tattoos, and doing stupid stuff to put their body, mind, and spirit in risk. Those are the kind of people who choose the wrong 24/7. Those type of people do not care about going to college and succeeding in life. They're are failures. I'm not saying that people who gets piercings or tattoos are failures but those who exaggerate and get them everywhere by putting their lives in risk are because they don't care about anything at all. Also another example would be saying no to drugs. I think it's essential for everyone to say no to drugs so they can have a nice and clean healthy body. You should always have your body and spirit clean. Your mind as well.

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

The first thanksgiving in the United States was on Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts in 1621. The pilgrims held their second thanksgiving celebration in 1623. Thanksgiving is the time when the pilgrims came to America and celebrated by having a feast with some Native Americans in the area that helped them get food. It was a huge feast with many people there. Today we celebrate Thanksgiving to get together with family or friends. Turkey is the most common popular food to eat on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a feast of thanksgiving, held on the fourth of Thursday in November in the United States. Traditionally, it is held to remember the celebration by the pilgrims of the first harvest in the new North America colony. The pilgrims wanted to thank the Native Americans for letting them have the opportunity and helping them survive in the new world. The next day is Friday which is known as Black Friday. Stores are considered in the Black when they have profit. Many stores have big sells and many people go Christmas shopping. Some stores open at 5 a.m. and people line up to get best discounts. So Black Friday means lots of stores making money and hopefully lots of people getting good deals. The day after Thanksgiving and Christmas is when people start setting up the Christmas lights.

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."

By:Chick Moorman

This quote means that doing what is right, fair and honorable is way more important than winning or losing. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it only matters if you do what's right. Winning can be a good thing but when you lose it's ok because there is always a next time and you just need to practice. You should never give up on what you want to accomplish. It's best to be a good sport than winning or losing. In a game it's mostly important to be fair and honorable. This is like a good sportsmanship.You're being fair and not being a inaugurate. And rather than winning or losing it's best for you to be doing the right. Most people will see and notice the sportsmanship that you have and it doesn't care if you win or lose it's about choosing the right.
