Doing what is right

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

-Chick Moorman

This quote by Mr. Moorman is one everyone should live their life by. He teaches us that is more important to be a CTR person other than winning or losing. One of the reasons that i agree with this quote is because it is more important to have a good name than to win. You can win a game but, if it means that you have to do something that isn’t right then it’s not worth it.

Honesty

“Honesty is the best policy.”

-Mark Twain

This quote by Mark Twain is truly remarkable. This quote demonstrates how important it is to be honest. When you are not honest you give yourself a bad name. If you lie, you will be known as a liar. It is important to live an honest life. When you are honest people will know that they could trust you because you are not a liar. You will make a good name for yourself if you live your life to this quote.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I. Veterans Day is celebrated on the 11th of November. It is a holiday that serves as a reminder of the end of World War I. it is important to show honor on veterans day because thousands of people died fighting for our nation and we want to show the respect they deserve. There are many ways to show our respect to  veterans on veterans day. We could say thank you and salute them, we could hang our flags high, ect.

   

Reflection: I think Veterans Day is a great holiday. Veterans deserve a day dedicated to them. Veterans don’t usually get the  appreciation they deserve, but Veterans Day makes sure to make the day all about them.

The 3 magic keys

“These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity:

1. Have the courage to say no.
2. Have the courage to face the truth.
3. Do the right thing because it is right.”

-W. Clement Stone

This quote said by Mr.Stone is a great and true statement. The way to live a great life with integrity is by following the 3 steps also referred as the magic keys to living your life with integrity. If you don’t have the courage to say no, people will take advantage of you and might force you to do things that you know are bad. The second magic key is to accept and face the truth. If you are not able to face the truth you’ll just run away from your problems. The third and final magic key is to do the right thing because it is right. This magic key is the most important one of all. If you don’t do the right thing than you are not a CTR person.

Shall be wise

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”

-Proverbs 13:20

This quote is trying to that that you will become like those you hang out with.  An example of this is in the quote itself. When you hang around with wise men/smart people, you will become wise/smart. Another example is if you hangout with bad people who ditch school and do drugs, you too will eventually also ditch school and do drugs. This quote is warning you that if you hangout with bad people, you too will become bad. So the best thing to do is to hangout with smart people so you too will become smart.

Gainesville Tornadoes

What happened in the video we just watched was about a basketball team that was made up of juvenile delinquents. They didn’t have any fans at all. But, when they played against a prep school, they had lots of fans cheering them on. This was a great example of choosing the right. The fans of the juveniles were told to cheer for them because they didn't have any fans. For the juveniles this was a great experience. They said that they will never forget that moment.

To do good

“The best recreation is to do good”

-William Penn

This quote by William Penn says that the best way to re create yourself, hence recreation, is by doing good. To someone who has never heard this quote before, this could mean a lot of things. One example of this could be opening the door for others. Another example could be being respectful to everyone you encounter. One non example of this could be, being disrespectful. There are many ways that you can recreate yourself, but the best to do that is by  doing good.
