                                                       “Character Matters More”

                        -  Dale Murphy

 What i understand about this quote is that your character matters most, it's how your attitude it's either good or bad. When you have a bad attitude you tend not to care about anyone or anything. And when you have a good attitude you have good character, which you are good to be around people. You think more positive than negative. So that's why it's best to have character, because character matters most. I really like this quote. It makes me think positive and have a good character.

Good Quantity People

" Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for this better to be alone than in bad company."

- George Washington

    What this quote is telling me is that we must be friends with the people that are good, always choosing the right. We shouldn't be friends with bad people who might get us in trouble. Who will endanger are future. Who will take us off the right path. To stop this is to find the good people who are honest, that don't lie or cheat. Those people make us look good help each other stay on track. Those people make you look great and good, you ll have a reputation of being good. Who will want to see you succeed in life. He or she will motivate you to do whats right. And if you cant find good friends, its best to be alone, than to have bad company on the side of you. Its best to go solo, and succeed in life. Than to not have a future and all your dreams end up on the ground where they are just being stepped on by the bad friends you have associated with.

" Right is right only when entire."

- Victor Hugo 

        This quote is telling me that when you do the right thing it must come as a whole. We don't want 25% right we want 100% ctr. This is the only time its right when every thing is their. An example would be if someone found a bag of money, and they turn it in, every single penny most be in there for you to feel good. You don't want to be let me take some of this money and give up the rest. You don't want that because your not being fully honest. And you want to be honest and to the right thing so do it good the first time and you will feel wonderful. Just like Rachel Castillo said " If you do whats right, and live the right way you'll be taken care of". So if you do the entire right people will do take care of you.

You'll Be Taken Care Of

" If you do whats right, if you live the right way, you ll be taken care of."

- Rachel Castillo 

  What I understand about this quote is that if you choose the right you live the right way, people will care about you and either give you things or they will bless you in ways no other people can. So you should be a ctr 24/7 and a ctr person for life. And many people that see this would be surprised, and want to be your friend and help you when you need it. Its more like a reward. People are going to see potential in you and say we need to help him so he cab express his intelligence. i really want to take this quote into consideration. I like the way it telling us the point directly. If you live a ctw life then people wont take care of you because you are most likely to take everything the wrong way. In other words you choose the right and live the right way blessings will come in every directions into your life. So remember to always always choose the right.

" In life as in football, you wont go far, unless you know where the goalpost are"

- Arnold H. Glasgow 

     This quote is very relevant because its saying if you don't have a goal you wont reach very far. Like you wont know where to stop, you ll just keep running for ever. But when you have a goal/ goalpost you ll know when you have reaches it. This statement really ties in with football as well. In football you have a goalpost, when you reach that goal you scored a touch down. Know with out that goal post you will just keep running until you get tired and give up. What this is showing me that with a goalpost you will know when to stop, and feel proud.  I really agree with Mr. Glasgow. This statement is very wonder full and how you need to know where are the goal post or else you ll keep running for ever.

Student Success Statement

"Only those live who do good."

- Count Leo Tolstoy 

     I agree with this quote because the people who do good live more years. And the people who do bad end up getting into drugs or gangs and most of the time end up getting shot, and die. Those people are the ctw's. Those people just have a short and bad life. So if you want to live more i suggest you start doing whats right for you, and those around you. This quote symbolize that ONLY people that do good have the tendency in living a very happy life and doing whats right for them. People with bad history or is bad don't live very long. Either get murder or end up dieing. Everyone has a choice weather you do whats right or you do the wrong. And whats really best for us is to have value in our self.

“What’s right isn't always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right"

- Albert Einstein 

            What I understand is being popular isn't always the best. Because you always want to do the bad to seem cool in front of every one. And it’s better not to be popular because you won’t have so much pressure on you. If you are ctr person popularity isn't always the best. Like people that are hones is the most praise thing than being popular. Most of the time popularity just makes you chooses the wrong. And we don't want that. We want to be choosing the right, we got to be a person of are word. An example would be drinking in front of your followers makes you look big and tough. But you still ctw because you are a minor and its illegal substance. It’s best to impress your self than others.

Student Success Statement

I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that(poverty). It depends upon how hard i want to work, and I decide that I would change it."

- Dr. Ben Carson

I really agree with Ben Carson because you are born into poverty. An you have the choice to either get out if it. By getting educated. or staying in poverty. Its like you either choose the right or you choose the wrong! Its really up to you. My personal answer is to get out of poverty and get a high education where i can be a electrition and start my own company.  In order to get out of poverty, it depends on how hard you work in order to get out of it. He be a really great president. I would vote for him.      

Student Success Statement.

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."

Dean Smith

  What i understand is that all he wanted to do was the right. He wasn't trying to leave a legacy. He just wanted people to do whats right. He never intended to leave his named marked, he wanted to have people do whats right for others. He was a ctr person. An example would be that he made alot of players go to the NBA. And people wanted to remember him. so they named a stadium after him. All he wanted to do is make sure his players were playing right and playing fair. He didn't expect to all those games and be number 1 in the list of most won games, it just magically happened because he choose the right. 

KARMA WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.

" It's not about how to achieve your dreams . It's about how you lead your life the RIGHT WAY, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck ) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you."

Dr. Randy Pausch

What Randy is trying to tell us is that it's not about how you get to your dreams how how you did it, but it is how through out all the time trying you did the right thing, you choose the right and treated others like how you want to be treated. Once you've done that then karma will come back to you and you will accomplish your dream. This is a good quote because it shows how to complete your dream goals it will be hard but you need the go the right way in order to get what you want, like doing good in school, don't do drugs, and respect everyone. Don't go the wrong way and get F's om all your classes, doing drugs, joining gangs, and not respecting people. So always choose the right way and what your dream is will come true. 

Educating the body, mind, and character

"Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that educating the Body, the Mind, and above all the Character, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation."

Theodore Roosevelt

What this quote means to me is that the best thing we can do in our lives is to educate the next generation to do the right thing. This is important because once that we are gone the next generation decides what happens to the world. They will be the ones running the place. So we need to educate them to be good and to choose the right path always. We need to be able to teach them how to maintain a healthy body. We need to teach them how to have a healthy mind and above all a good character. This is important so that they can be good and they can communicate well with others.

Body-Mind-Spirit

"Take responsibility for your own body,mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being."

Mr. Haymore 

What I understand about this quote is that everybody takes control of their body mid and spirit. Like somebody else can control what you eat. Or what your mind is thinking. Or what your feeling. You your self takes care of that. Nobody else but you. And it’s really your responsibility to take care of that. Not your friend, neither your mom, only you. An example would be saying no to drugs, so you'll have a clean and healthy body. And you always should have you body and mind clean. And your spirit to be well. And always remember to choose the right. 

The Goal Of True Education

"Intelligence is not enough.Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education."

Martin Luther King Jr. 

What Martin is trying to tell us is that in order of a good education you must be intelligent and have character. Intelligent like get all A's is your classes do all the homework the teacher assignments and study even if you don't have homework for that class. And Character is like being a good person, ask nicely for things, dont use bad words, be respectful towards everyone, and don't bully. You have balance both of these together you can't be really smart and then be in jail, that is having a bad character. Same the other way around you can't be a really nice person and then not paying attention in school and not having good grades. So in order in having a good education remember always have good character and be intelligent.

"When you tell one lie, it leads to another"

Paul Hatch

What Paul is trying to tell us is that if you lie then that is ctw because once you lie then you get used to it and can't stop. And if you lie then people will not believe you if you are telling the truth because people will still think that you are a lier.Because if you say a lie, and anther one,and another one, It becomes a habit and nobody will end up trusting you any more. An its not right to lie and have to lie again to cover up that lie. It just makes a mess and you waste time. So its best to tell the truth and it makes you honest and you have consumed allot of time. And when you lie you just dont hurt you, you hurt the person your lieing to. An its not cool to be a liar. 

Right

"Always do right."

Mark Twain 

What Mark is trying to tell us is that no matter what happens or in what situation you are in always do right. Like if you and talking with your friends and after school they want to go buy bear do the right thing and don't go with them. Or when your teacher says stop what you are doing and pay attention, you must stop and pay attention because that is doing the right thing and you will get respect from your teacher because you listened to them. So always do the right thing and good things will happen to you like getting a good grade in your class or getting a raise in your paycheck because you have been doing the right and helping people find things in your job. This is a simple but good quote because doing what you are suppose to do could lead you in a successful life and if you have a successful life then you will be happy and your parents will be happy for you and what a good feeling when your parents are proud of you for doing so well. 

Fear

"If we do what's right, we have no need to fear."

Evan Stephens 

What Evan is trying to tell is that if you do the right thing if you choose the right then there is no need for you to be afraid if you get in trouble. Doing the right thing or choosing the right is like when you ask your teacher if you can go to the restroom and your teacher asks you if you have finished the work he or she has assigned to you and if you did then your teacher will let you go but if you say no then you will not go and have to hold it in. Choosing the wrong is like when you steal from someone and you don't want them to find out but someone saw you steal and might tell the person you stole from, then you will be afraid from getting in trouble. So always choose the right.

The 3 Questions:

1. Can people trust me to do what's right?
2. Am I committed to do my very best?
3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

"If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail."

Lou Holtz

What Lou is trying to tell us is that if you want something like a starting position in the next soccer match your team has then you need to make sure the coach and other team mates can trust you in playing right and doing the right thing, making sure you play will all you have to be 100% when you are playing, and to treat others how you want to be treated so everyone can say wow he is such a good person. If you can make sure you can complete those steps then you will not fail in starting in the next soccer game you team has or in anything like if you are working in a fast food restaurant and you want a raise in your pay check then you need to make sure that you are asking yourself these questions and make sure you answer yourself in the most honest way and if it is a yes then you will not fail and will get the raise you want. 

Physical Fitness

"Physical Fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."

John F. Kennedy 

What I think this quote means is very true because if you read it carefully it makes a whole lot of sense. I think it's trying to say that being physically active won't just help you have a healthy body but it will also help you have a good mental health. It will help you have a successful life and do what's right. Maintaining a healthy body is not just about being active. For example, it's not right to drink alcohol or any drug. That is choosing the wrong and you will get addicted. Just like Mr. Haymore said also, drinking coffee is also a drug. It might taste good but it is bad for your health. Drugs are illegal. You wouldn't want to catch yourself into some trouble. Once you try a drug, you might like it and get obsessed and keep doing it. You're just killing yourself. If you are not physical active, then your mind won't work.

Kindness

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

Joseph B. Wirthlin

What Joseph is trying to tell us is that if you want to be great like a great person or great at doing something then you have to be kind. What would you like to have a mean friend or a kind friend who gives you presents for your birthday who is 100% honest with you. If you are kind then people will only talk nice things about you and not spread unreal things about you. This is also a good quote if you want to make friends but you don't know how, well start off by being nice to them helping them when needed you know. So always always be kind to someone even if you hate them then try to be nice to them.

Student Success Statement

"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself."

Henry Ward Beecher 

What Henry is trying to tell us is that we have to be better than what people expect from us being in anything in any form but we must be better than what people expect from us. Like say your teacher expects you to be a B or C student you have to push your self and not make excuses so you can prove your teacher wrong and be higher than what he or she expected you to be. So don't hold back stop making excuses be better than what you are now be yourself because there is no one better than you and to prove that you must be better that what people expects from you. If someone is trying to put you down saying that you won't do this you won't make this you don't have the talent then prove them wrong, prove to them that you are better than them by doing exactly what they said you couldn't do and when you do that they will feel sorry for themselves.
