"Enthusiasm makes the difference."

"Enthusiasm makes the difference."

By: Dr. Norman Vincent Peale 

What I understand about this quote from Dr. Norman Vincent Peale is that when someone has different feelings, you act and express different towards somebody or yourself. Being enthusiastic can make a big impact in your life and in others as well. You need to have enthusiasm if you are waiting to have success. For example, having enthusiasm could mean having a very positive attitude that doesn't like to fall and give up. It's important for all of us to have positive attitudes and not negative because when something becomes hard, most likely people will quit or give up. The key is to never give up because with joy and hard work, we will accomplish whatever becomes hard. As of right now I have many goals that i want to accomplish them with hard work. Enthusiasm can really be a big help for a great future when you are using it the right way. For instance, you have to have the enthusiasm in class that you are going to pay attention so you can understand the classwork and homework. You should be joyful. Nothing good will ever come from being upset. Good things will happen to those who do the right thing and who are happy.

"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.

Lead your life

"It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you."

By: Dr. Randy Pausch 

What this quote means is that living life the right way leads to being able to achieve your dreams. Living your life the wrong way only brings you bad karma which prevents you from achieving your dreams. It is important to not only go towards your goals but go towards how you live your life in general. The reason for this is because not living your life the correct way will bring you obstacles and closed doors. For example, a person who makes bad choices and whose life is a total mess might not be able to work towards or achieve a goal because of all the bad habits and mistakes he/she has done. Your destiny is based on only your actions, and the choices you decide to make. Only you can prevent yourself from achieving anything you want, and that is by making the wrong choices. If you lead your life the right way you can achieve your dreams. The dreams will come to you if you make good choices for yourself and always do the right things that you know are correct. Karma comes back.

Educating the body, mind, and character

"Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation." 

By: Theodore Roosevelt 

What this quote defines is that you need to educate your body and character in order to do good for your country. You must train others in giving moral training for those who are going to choose the faith of this country. And hope they will choose the right for this country to live. An example would be is you need to choose what's best for you and everyone around you. Like a class president, he or she chooses the best for his class. That's what Mr.Roosevelt wants. I also do truly agree with this quote because these are the three things that help us to do good things. They help us choose wise decisions. They also help us to be a better person. The body helps you move and also gives you 5 senses. Since you can move you van go help people or do some chores and you will be rewarded. People will like how generous you are and appreciate you. Your mind controls your body. It tells it what to do. You also think what you have to do. You always have think about what is right and make the choices for yourself. Finally your character. Your character describes what type of a good person you are like your personality. Character is mainly important because it shows what type of person you are.

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.

Reflection:

There are many student services that are open for us students. There are meal schedules like what they are going to serve for lunch or breakfast. And there are also graduation requirements what you need to graduate from high school. And so many services in which help you know standards or what LAUSD is looking into us to make us a better person. The LAUSD think we matter to them, think we are all smart and that we are their future. What we are not supposed to be doing like bullying people or making fun of people of LGBT person. My thought for this is that it's cool how they have this out for the public so people are concern in what to do, or what they're teaching us. This applies to me because I am aware of what we get taught in school. In addition, the LAUSD also provides us with a variety of resources. A resource can be sports. Lets say you're in a sport and you have a game, you need to arrive at the school and they can offer you a ride if you need one. Another resource is if you need extra help in something, the staff/teacher provides you with help which is a good thing. I believe LAUSD really does provide you with good resources.
