"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection:

What I think this quote from Thomas Carlyle is that when you set a goal it gives you a meaning to life. Such as if you don't have a goal you don't know where you'll end up just like the ship. Without a rudder there's no direction such as no goal no direction to life. A goal is like setting a plan for the future where you might end up. Without a goal you will end up lost and not going anywhere in life.

REFLECTION:

I think the proverb is saying you must have a good perspective on people. Such as resolving things there's always ways you can deal with something. But it's weather it's the right way to deal with it. In order to have peace we must have a good perspective on life and others.

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

Wilford Woodruff

Reflection:

What I think this quote means is when you do the wrong thing there will never be a price or reward for it. For example, if you choose to do the right thing you earn many things like respect and feeling great. When you choose the wrong you get no gain such as feeling bad about your self. You will also experience guilt of the would would've and should happened.

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

Dr. Laura Schlessinger 

Reflection: 

What I think this quote means is that once you choose the right you will feel good all around. Whether it's you feeling great about yourself or making yourself a better person. When you choose the right it benefits you and others.

Forgiveness

Eric Smallridge went to prison for killing both Megan and Lisa. He was a drunk at the time he killed them and was sentenced for 22 years. Renee Megan's mother had said that he had punishment enough and he was truly sorry for what he did and gave him a shorter sentence to 11 years. She said forgiveness heals and its the only way to heal. She said she didn't want to be old and bitter so she forgave him for killing his daughter.

Student Success Statement

" When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive."

Alan Paton

Reflection:

What I think this statement by Alan Paton is about is once someone hurts you so deep you can't recover until you forgive them for it. Also, there's no way you can move forward if your still stuck in the past. If you keep reminding yourself about it then it will just continue to hurt as bad as it did the first time. So you must be able to forgive to be capable to make peace with that person. Then it's on you whether you wan't them in your life or not.

Student Success Statement 

"Dare to stand alone."

Thomas S. Manson

Reflection:

What it think this quote means by Thomas S. Manson is when all your friends are doing something bad and you don't want to do it you should be courageous enough to say no and do your own thing. For example, JamesOn Curry had a winning record but he couldn't say no to the other people who were dealing drugs he was also arrested. He had to suffer consequences just for not being able to say no and to risk his career in basketball. Because he couldn't say no he suffered the consequences and won't be able to have a career in basketball.
