Eight great reasons to tell the truth

Eight great reasons to tell the truth

Barbara A. Lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There’s less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed  or punished.
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get in less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying (and getting caught).
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don’t have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain a reputation for being truthful- a trait most people value.
8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful. Inside.

I agree with Ms. Lewis with some of these reasons, like reason 3 is just plain dumb. But i do like reason 5 because i do think that people do trust you more when you tell the truth. I also think you should always tell the truth even if you know it can hurt the other person. Reason number 6 is kinda true as well because once you lie you more than likely going to keep having to lie. Number 7 is also true because people can start notice that you lie to much. Then they’ll never want to hang out with you or even talk to you. Maybe because they think you’re just going to backstab them or you’re going to do something behind their backs. Number 8 i think is just mental and internal, if you think you’re trustworthy than you wouldn’t think like that even if you really aren’t trustworthy.

Phillip Riggs’ Four Success Tips

Phillip Riggs’ Four Success Tips

1. Work Hard
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.
3. Don’t chase after money.
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you.

Reflection: I think that these four tips helped me realize that I should be looking for a job that I’m passionate about not only for the money. Also that nothing in life is just handed to you, you have to work for it and work hard. Also do things for others just like you would want them to you. Also that money really isn’t everything. By serving others and putting others before you, you invest in them. Then they’ll know that they can count on you for anything and you can count on them for anything as well. Also by working hard, and doing it all the time you’ll get better results which would make it more fun to do.  In my opinion i rather be a job that i love then in a job that i don’t like but need for the money. If you’re passionate and good at something why not pursue that path and see where it takes you. But not only for the money but because you love what you’re doing.

step up and do the right thing at the right time

“It’s a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.” -Pam Knox

This quote is trying to show us that the best thing you can do is the right thing. Also that by making the right choice you not only make yourself proud but also others. People always remember when someone did what was right when it was needed the most. Coaches always appreciate it when people do what is right. For example if your coach tells you to run 1 hour before practice and the rest of the team decides to not run. But you still run without them, you’re the one that’s going to be more fit than everyone else and the coach will be able to tell during the games. By running your also showing the rest of the team who to follow. Just by doing what is right you’ll always get recognized by someone. It feels good when you do the right thing.

If you do what's right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of

"If you do what's right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of."- Rachel Castillo

Rachel Castillo indicates that the only way that life will take care of you is by doing what's right. I agree with Rachel Castillo because if your always doing what's right then you wouldn't have to be worrying if your life is going good or not. By always doing whats right, your always going on the right path so your life most of the time is going good. If your living the right way then that must mean that your life is being taken care of in a good way. 

In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where goalposts are

"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where goalposts are." -Arnold H. Glasgow

What Mr. Glasgow is trying to say is that without goals in your life you will never become successful. I agree with him because without goals in your life, you wouldn't have anything to strive for. You wouldn't be living, you'll just be managing. People whop don't have high goals or a lot of goals won't ever become successful. The only way to go far in life is to set high goals and reach them. Without goals life would just be pointless to you. 

Poverty is more of a choice than anything else

"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 decided that i would change it."

Dr. Ben Carson

I agree with Dr.Carson that only to get out of poverty is to work hard and not be lazy. Poverty is a choice, by not working hard your making a choice to be poor. The only person that determines if your going to be poor more than anyone is you. I believe that hard work and education is the key to becoming rich. You are the only one that can tell yourself whether you can do something or not. Dr.Carson also indicates that being well educates is the latchkey to becoming rich and i totally agree with him. 

You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right

Student Success Statement

"You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right." -Thomas S. Monson

This quote reflects on choosing the right and if you choose the right you can't do wrong. If you choose to do the wrong then you CAN'T be RIGHT. The only way of ever being right is by choosing the right. I agree with Mr. Monson you can't be right if you're choosing the wrong. It's not possible to be right if you're choosing the wrong. 

Enthusiasm makes the difference

Student Success Statement

"Enthusiasm makes the difference."

-Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

                 I agree with Dr. Peale the difference between a winner or a loser is their enthusiasm toward what it is that their doing. You have to want to do what your doing, you have to be excited. That's the only way you'll keep wanting to do what you do. You have to keep it interesting because if not then you'll get bored out and quit. What separates the good with the bad is not only hard work but also their passion for what their doing. Passion can open a lot of doors for what your trying to accomplish. Passion is what makes the difference from being successful and not. Like for example if your parents keep telling you to go to soccer practice but you really don't want to. Then you won't ever succeed in soccer because your not passionate about it. Your not willing to sacrifice stuff just to do that one thing. 

lead your life the RIGHT WAY

Student Success Statement

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

-DR. Randy Pausch

           I kinda agree with Dr. Randy Pausch because I don't believe by living a good live you can achieve your dreams. I also don't believe that your dreams will come to you. I believe that if you work hard then your dreams will come and you'll be able to achieve your goals. What I do believe about Dr. Pausch's quote is that if you do live the right way then Karma will take care of itself. This quote is pretty much saying is that if you live the right way then you can have anything you want. Also because Dr. Pausch believe in Karma and what goes around, comes around. That's why he pretty much says that if you live the RIGHT WAY then you don't have to worry because Karma will take care of you. 

Take responsibility

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

- Mr.C.S. Haymore

This quote made by Mr.C.S. Haymore means that you shouldn't let others be the ones who tell you what to do. Also that you should always take responsibility for all your actions and never blame anyone else. You shouldn't let anyone take your spirit away. Don't ever blame anyone else for not being healthy. Like for example you want to lose weight but you keep saying you can't because already made plans. Your just making excuses. Another example would be something like if your not where you want to be because "Its to HARD" your just being lazy and irresponsible. You should never let someone hold you back not even yourself. Your spirit can be what ever you want it to be. Your the only one that can control your body, mind, and spirit so don't blame others if your not where you want to be.

The lausd student services is a website where students can go to find help about anything that has to do school related. Students can even see their schools lunch menu. The graduation requirements are also in that websites. The lausd student services has many options and many resources to help a lost student.

In this website they also have tools and resources that students may use if need. 

COURAGE

Student Success Statement

"We need the COURAGE to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the COURAGE to Stop what we shouldn't do."

-Richard L. Evans

I agree with what Richard L. Evans is saying because you have to be courage to start doing stuff but also to continue doing them. Others usually start something but don't end it. It takes COURAGE and hunger to continue doing the right thing. Let's say for example you have a game in 3 days but you haven't practice at all. You have to choice to either START and CONTINUE practicing for the game for all the other games to come. But it takes COURAGE to do that. Just like it takes COURAGE to stop doing something you know your not suppose to be doing. Like for example hanging out with you friends instead of practicing because your ashamed what your friends might say.
