Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving week was a good week, it held many memories that it felt nostalgic. This thanksgiving made us all feel closer and more united as family and friends. It taught us morals and values that will help us become better people in the mere future. We also learned how to truly appreciate everything we have and all the opportunities given to us. We learned how to give thanks for everything handed to us and to be grateful for everything you have. We also ate so much food. We enjoyed our week by just laying back and enjoying our leisure time. It was a relaxing week overall, we had little to no problems. We just enjoyed our time being with faimly and bonding over this holiday that is meant to bring families closer.

"If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it" - Marcus Aurelius


I agree with this statement. This is saying that if its wrong to not do it. Avoid problems and be a responsible person. Doing the right thing is always the answer, despite the circumstances. When it's all said and done, it'll be too late. Think before and be smart about it, think it through. Doing the right thing will lead to zero problems and a clean conscious.

"These are the main magic keys to living your life with integrity"

1.     Have the courage to say no.
2.     Have the courage to face the truth
3.     Do the right thing because its right

This quote is saying that doing the right things should be the only thing you should do. It's saying that you should have the courage to turn away drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. This is trying to show the new generation that its bad to be a follower. Be different and do your own thing and be creative. Don't fall into the same hole everyone does by turning to drugs and stacking up truancy.Say no to drugs when offered, and do the right thing. Be a leader and show others that its possible to be a independent person who has their own mind. Now in this generation, everyone is caught up on social media and spending their time conversing through text instead of face to face conversations. Everyone needs a reality check, and maybe then we will start to become aware of what the world really is. Do the right thing and just be yourself basically.

"Right is always right, even if everyone is against it;  and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it"  - William Penn

    This quote means that no matter what the situation is, you should always do the right thing. Like saying if you're at a party where everyone is smoking or drinking, it wouldn't make it right to follow their direction. This means that doing the right thing is always the way to go. Even though everyone else is doing it doesn't mean it's okay for you to do it. This is saying that you shouldn't follow others, but instead become a leader. You should encourage others to do the right thing and become better people who contribute back to the community.Don't follow others, instead make the others follow you into the right direction. Right is always right so just get it over with and do it. Do the right thing and good things will arise from your good deeds. Instead of doing wrong actions, do things that'll benefit you in the long run.

"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it after" -Peter Vidmar


   This means that you shouldn't ruin what you want most for something that you want in that exact moment. This is saying that people usually want the easy way so they take short cuts and look for the easiest way out. This however deters them from pursuing their long term goals. Basically saying to go all the way through with your goals and don't give up on them.A example of seeing your goals through is Peter Vidmar, he said he wanted to be a Olympian and he wrote it down. He then starting working towards his goal, then a couple years later he won a gold medal. This is a true example of working hard to accomplish your goals. Do what actually makes you happy, not something that'll keep you happy for a little bit. Follow your true goals in life, not something that'll fade away and leave you trapped in an illusion.

"A good name is better then anything you can achieve in your life" - Mike Krzyzewski

This quote means that having a good name is better than being ashamed and shunned for the name you created for yourself. Its saying that having a good name is very important, its almost crucial for a successful and happy life. Its saying that almost anywhere you go, your name and what you've done will define the way people see you and respect you. This often goes to show that its important to be a good person and always do the right thing. Make a name that you'll be able to be proud of not ashamed of.

"A good name is rather to be than great riches" - Proverbs 22-1

This means that its better to have a god reputation than have riches and have a bad one. This means that you'd rather be a good person rather than being a person with many riches. This is saying that its better to be a good person than to be a person with many belongings. Instead of wanting a lot of things, you should be wanting to be a good person. If you start doing it, maybe someone will follow your steps. If people start following your steps you'll soon become a leader. This will then lead to your name being decorated heavily cause of your actions. Being a good person is more valuable than any riches in the world. A good person is rich in heart, not in items or materials. This means that being a good person is more valuable than any object.
