“A definite worthy goal, combined with a positive mental attitude (PMA), is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement.” 
                                                                                             -Napoleon Hill

Reflection:

This statement to me means that when you have a positive attitude towards something and you go in with a positive mind you will get positive results. When all of this is combined together a lot of good things will end up happening to you, but you have to believe that good things will happen to you and good things will end up happening to you.   Having positive thoughts brings positive things. When you have a goal try to make the goal and your thoughts be positive in order for your goal to come true.

“The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.”

-         Margaret  Chase Smith

Reflection:

This quote means to me that  when you think that something is wrong but don’t want to tell your friends because you know that they are going to make fun of you for being a goody good then you choose to stay quiet. Sometimes the right thing is not want the cool crowd or the cool kids do the right thing is what you think is right and what you know is right. It does not matter what other people think of it because in the end you are the one that is going to live with the consequences not them.  A good example is when I was in 9^th grade I wanted to the cool kids to like me so I went up to an innocent girl and started talking bad to her and the only reason that I did it was because I wanted to be one of them and in the end when I got in trouble they were not there as friends that they supposedly were. Stand up for what you think is right.

“To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.”

                                     Confucius

Reflection: 

The reflection to me means that when you know what is right and you choose to ignore and continue doing what’s wrong is the worst thing ever. Why would you do the wrong thing when you know what’s the right thing? It just does not make any sense to me. It’s like when yesterday two of my classmates were caught cheating and they know it’s wrong and if there caught there are going to be consequences then why would you still do it, because they choose chose the wrong the teacher humiliated them in the class and put them in her wall of shame. Don’t do the wrong when you know what the right is already.
