I was shown two stories one about a person named Malik Stewart who lost the wrestling champion ship with honor. He lost and then congratulated the other person and the other person dad. His dad was dying of cancer and he knew that so he tried to cheer him up by congratulating him. The other story is about Roman Chapa who did the opposite and won a horse race by cheating. He electrocuted his horse with a device to make it go faster. He did the complete opposite of what the other person did from there stories.

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating”

Sophocles

If you win a game and cheat then it is like you didn't win at all. Failing with honor is winning as long as you know that you tried your best and didn't cheat. Whenever you cheat that will stay with you until you tell the person you cheated to that you cheated and that you are sorry. If you keep on being honest then you will be known for that which is a good thing.

Memorial day weekend

For my memorial day weekend i didn't do much but i did read a new book that i got called “The Maze Runner Scorch Trials”. I have just started to read this book but i did read the first book in the maze runner series. This is the second book and so far i am enjoying it. The first two books have already been made into movies and i plan to see the second one when i finish the book. On Sunday I went to the park with my family and we met up with other people from my family there. At the park i didn't do much but i did read my book a little bit there. We were planning on camping but something happened and we didn't get to go.

Student Success Statement

“If I've got correct goals, and if i keep pursuing them the best way i know how, everything else falls into line. If i do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.”

Dan Dierdorf

I think that you should always keep track of your goals so you know what you have to do in order to complete it. You should never give up on a goal if you are still doing what is right to do. Every time you are given a choice you must do what is right even if it is the long way around. If your goals are good then you will achieve them with hard work. If helping others is apart of your goals then they will be accomplished with time to help more.

Student Success Statement

“The most important thing you will ever have is good values.”

Dennis Prager

Some examples of good values are like doing what is right and being honest. I think that everyone has good values and bad ones. It is up to you of how bad or how good they are. To know you would have to ask a honest person on what your good values are and your bad ones. You should always have more good values than bad ones. Bad values would be like lying, cheating, and stealing. When you are put in a position where you have to decide what you do you must always think about what is right to do and do it. If you do something right then your good values will increase. If you are honest all the time then that becomes a good value that everyone knows and you know and that is what matters the most.

Student Success Statement

“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

I think that when you do the right thing that you will always be rewarded even if it is not a physical reward but knowing that you did something right. You will always have respect for yourself if you do the right thing. You can never go wrong with doing the right thing in any situation. When you do something good you feel good inside. Sometimes you will get a reward but the best reward is helping someone else and knowing you did everything in your power.

Phillip Riggs’ Four success tips

1. Work hard.
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.
3. Don’t chase after money.
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you.

I think that everyone should do what they love for a job but not everyone can. You should always treat others with respect and friendship so you can be treated the same way. You have to work hard to get what you want if you don't want to then you won't get what you want. Something bad will always happen if you do something bad.

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

Theodore Roosevelt

You should always think before you act in any situation. When you don't think first you will usually do the wrong thing and figure that out later on. I agree with this quote because you have to think first on what the right thing to do is. Then you act to the right thing and get others to do the same thing. I think you should always think first before you act.doing the right thing is always important in everyday situations.

Student Success Statement

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong."

Wilford Woodruff

If you only do everything wrong then you don't gain anything. Even if you think that you win and cheat then eventually you will have the guilt of everything you cheated on. When you cheat you are not gaining anything you are only losing. You should always only do what is right so you are only gaining and not losing. Helping others will always make you gain like gaining a new friendship.

Student Success Statement

“I have been asked what i mean by ‘Word of honor.’ I tell you: place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another i might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can i get out of that circle? No,never! I’d die first.”

Karl G. Maeser

Everyone has to keep their promises when they make one or they will be known as liyers for the rest of their life. Breaking a promise would ruin someones reputation for never liying. Without keeping your word of honor means that you have no honor. No matter what if someone makes a promise they have to fulfill it to the best of their abilities. No one should ever lie for any reason at all.

The 10 Indian commandments

1. Treat the earth and all that dwells therein with respect.
2. Remain close to the Great Spirit.
3. show great respect to your fellow beings.
4. work together for the benefit of all mankind.
5. give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
6. Do what you know to be right.
7. look after the well-being of mind and body
8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
9. Be truthful and honest at all times.
10. Take full responsibilities for your actions.

My favorite from all of these is give assistance and kindness wherever needed because you should always help someone in need. Id think the hardest one to do would be remain close to the great spirit because i think that would have to be taught since you were little. another hard one would be look after the well-being of mind and body because there are a lot of overweight people.
