“Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get.”

                                         -Mark Victor Hansen

This is a great quote because if you set your goals then you will do everything in your power to try and get the goals to come true. Always set your goals and go for them never give up on those goals that you have set for yourself. Set those goals and go after those goals never wait for them to come because nothing is ever handed to you on a silver plate you have to work hard to get those goals because that way you will value those goals more because you knew how hard it was for you to make those goals come true. If you set goals in your life then you will work hard for them to come true and again set all your goals and go and get those goals.

Reflection:

This quote to me means that if you choose the right a lot of good things will happen to you because you choose the right way. If you choose the wrong then bad things will happen to you because you did not take the time to think about what you are about to do. If you stand and think before you act a lot of good things can happen because you actually thought about it. If you choose to just go straight to doing something wrong then bad things will happen to you. Don’t forget to always choose the right and to never choose the wrong. Make good choices and good things will happen to you. Before when I would not care about school I did not think that my actions would affect me later on in life but trust me it did because later on when I was more mature I would think to myself Why did I do that? Or what was I think about when I was doing that? I choose the wrong many times but now I am glad that I have deiced to choose the right and I continue to do so.

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education.”

                                                                                                            -Aristotle

Reflection:

This statement to me means that you first have to educate your mind in order to feel anything like love or something besides that. Educating the mind is the best thing to do because that way your mind is already filled with knowledge and it needs more knowledge. Having knowledge is the best thing that you can have.  Knowledge and feelings is the best thing that can make you quickly recognize what is wrong and right. Educating your heart and brain is the best thing both makes you an educated young woman or young men.
