“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, and fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”

                                        -B.C. Forbes

Reflection:

What I think about this quote of B.C. Forbes is that we should be honest at every time and every moment. Not doing illegal or criminal things if we see it to tell someone and not be scared. Being an honest person pays up and people are going to be able to trust you, but if you are doing illegal things then you are not honest, no peace, and no trustworthy.

  “Stop worrying about whether you’re going to   

             win or lose and focus your full attention  

              on what’s happening right this moment.”

                            -Phil Jackson

                 11 World Championships

Reflection: What I think about this quote id that we don’t have to worry about if we are going to win or lose we have to stay focus on what is happening at the moment. If we focus on wining or loosing we are not concentrating and we don’t have to care for winning or losing as long as you play and you had fun better than playing dirty to win it doesn’t look nice. It reflects your team as worthless.

Time Management (8 of 10)

 

              Time Management

                                    8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time-classes, homework and activities-with some family help. Colleges gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

         Choose the Right!!!

                 “Truth is the only safe ground

                            to stand upon.”

                        -Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection:

What I think about this quote of Elizabeth is that we shouldn’t hang around with bad influence that we should be with people who teach good things and always choosing the right. Safe ground can be our parents and friends who do what is right. For example if you have a friend who do drugs, robs, or ditches school they are bad influences for you who can get you in trouble but if you hang around with people who obey their parents, go to school on time, and choose the right then you are standing on a safe ground.

Attention to Detail (7 of 10)

 

            Attention to Detail

                                      7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

          John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

          Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

                 Choose The Right!!!

                 “Everyone is the architect of

                                      their own learning.”

                                     -Claudius

Reflection:

What I think about this quote of Claudius is that we can’t learn if people are telling us to learn so we could be someone in life. It was to come from us to be a successful student and person. We have to build our own way to learn new things not having some else telling you. For example if you want to finish high school and graduate you have to put  a lot of effort, dedication, and be above the line and all of that work will get you a big reward by crossing the stage and getting your high school diploma.
