“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong , even if everyone is for it.”

• William Penn

 What the first quote means is that even if people are against the right thing, the right thing to do is what’s right. You don’t have to listen to anyone. Be the person to do what’s right and make a positive impact. For example, school uniforms. Even if the whole school is against it, the right thing to do is bring your uniform like you’re supposed to. The second quote means that even if everyone is for something wrong, it doesn’t change the fact it’s wrong. For example, if you are at a party and everyone is doing bad things. Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean it’s right. It means everyone is wrong. You always need to choose what’s right for you. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!

“ Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often.”

-Peter Vidmar

I think what this means is that don’t let a small goal go between you and your biggest goal. For example, if you want to be a good basketball player. Your biggest goal is to practice and do good. What you want now is probably to go home and relax. But you can’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now like Peter says. You need to be practicing a lot. You also need to put in a lot of effort to reach your goal. It’s like doing homework, but you get a text and get distracted. What you want most is to do your homework. But what you want now is to reply to the text. But, if you don’t sacrifice it, you can finish your homework and continue with the conversation. You need to choose what’s right.

“A good name is better than anything you can achieve in life,”

Coach K.

What this quote means is that what people think of you is more important than anything. It’s people’s impression of you what matters. For example, you would want people saying positive things about you. You wouldn’t want people saying negative things about you. For example, when  you see someone. After you leave, they’ll remember one good thing you did. But if you are a bad person they’ll talk about how much of a bad person you are. In my opinion it doesn’t really matter what people think of me. EVERYONE has done something bad in their life. No one is perfect. Also, just because you have a tattoo on your body doesn’t mean you are automatically a bad person. I think that people who have that type of mentality are rude and disrespectful and shouldn’t judge people just by looking at them.

Reflection:

   I think I would like to work in another country. I think it just depends on the opportunity given for me. For example, if it’s something I can find here in the US, ill just stay, but if it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity then i’ll take the risk to move.

“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.”

Proverbs 22:1

   This means that money doesn’t matter. What matters most is what people think of you. For example the way you treat people. If you treat them correctly, then they’ll remember you in a good way. Everytime someone mentions your name, they’ll remember what a good person you are. But if you treat them bad, then they won’t even want to remember you.
