"The most important thing you will ever have is good values." by Dennis Prager

The word values means having respect and being kind to others. So what this means is that being kind to others is a good way of showing the type of person you are. I honestly agree yet disagree with this because yes you need to be kind to others no matter what. In the other hand, the most important thing to me is family and being successful. Either way, I agree and disagree with this quote. To this, I believe that having and showing respect, is important.

Philip 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.

I agree with his methods of thinking and being successful. This is because if you work hard for what you really want in life, sooner or later they will come to you. And following your passions is a big part of being successful. This is because if you do something you don't and won't be happy with why do it? So do something you are most passionate about. Do all these things for you and your happiness don't just think about money and how rich but unhappy you will be. Also if you are a good person to others then good things will come your way.

The 10 Indian Commandments

1. Treat the Earth and all that dwells therein with respect.2. Remain close to the great spirit3. Show great respect to your fellow beings.4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.

There commandments mean that you have to be a kind person to everything and everyone. Also that you should stay true because you would want people to stay true to you as well. The last one states that you should take full responsibility of everything you choose to. The fifth one is saying to use your time wisely and spend it on good deeds. 

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails." by Henry David Thoreau

This quote means that if you are a good person no matter what you do or happens to you, you will get good things coming your way. This is because if you don't know what pain is, then you don't know what happiness is. This is why you should smile no matter what happens to you. When you are a good person, the universe will reward you. You just have to keep a positive mind and attitude. The only person that will never leave you is you. So no matter what happens in your life and the people you lose, goodness will never fail you in your greatest and saddest moments.

  

"It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound." by Joseph Smith

This quote is telling us that what is good should be known and passed down to other people. And the things that are bad and no good at all, make them unheard. This is because we need people to be as positive as possible. Not by making bad decisions when hearing something bad. It is also saying to focus on doing good things and saying right things, and keep the negativity away from all of us. Being kind is an example of something that should be passed on and heard because it's an important thing to do.

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." by Abraham Lincoln

What this quote means is that being a honest real person is the best you can do. Abraham is trying to say that he will only surround himself with people who are true and make good decisions. He is also saying that if you have a friend that is true but then turns, stay away from them. This is because you do not want the same thing to happen to you. So you have to surround yourself with people who chose the right and know what they are doing. Also you have to be a positive person who is kind not the opposite of this.

"Character is higher than intellect." by Ralph Waldo Emerson

This quote means that intelligence is not as important than character. As in if you are a very smart person but are rude to others, that is not a good thing to do. This is because at the end you will have no one by your side to talk to because you were a rude person to them. That is why you should be polite to others and make right decisions. You have to have a positive mind and positive thoughts.

“Character matters more.” By Dale Murphy

This quote means that your personality matters more than just looks. As in if you are a bad person, people will not respect you. This is because the way you are, reflects on the person you are. For example if you drink and smoke just to fit in, will make you look like all the other people. You have to be a unique person and choose the right. Every right decision we make in our life will reflect on us now and in the future. That is why we must be kind to one another because like that people will kindly respect you back. Also to show good character is helping others in anything they shall need. The image below represents this quote because it shows the teammates helping someone up when they fall. And that is the meaning of good character.

"Right is right only when entire." by Victor Hugo

This quote is meaning to say that if doing something right feels right then you should do it. Also means that you need to have patience. But if something feels bad then you shouldn't do it. This is because if you do something that is bad then it will always come back to you. In this case if you do something good then that will come back to you as well. Sometimes you can even get rewarded physically and mentally. Helping other people is a good example of doing good also being there for someone. An example of doing bad is being selfish and hateful is an example of being bad. The image below shows someone helping a person in need even if no one is helping.

"Enthusiasm makes the difference." by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

What this quote is trying to explain is that if you are always up and exited for each and everyday you have great things coming to you in life. For example if you are always so negative about the little things, you waste your time like that. But on the other hand if you are positive and enthusiastic you won't need to worry about the little details. By being positive all the time the people around you will feel comfortable around you and will probably start feeling the same. You see if you worry too much about the other peoples opinion, you will not learn to be happy. And if you just do what you like and what you desire, you will live a happy life. That is a sign of being kind to others. One example of being so positive is Tigger and Eeyore. This is because Tigger is always positive and happy, trying to make Eeyore happy as well, even though Eeyore is a grumpy person. I guess I would consider myself as Tigger. 

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what is right." by Dean Smith

Dean Smith is trying to say that all he did was do what is right. His intentions weren't to have any attention or rewards out of it. This quote is trying to tell us that we should start doing what is right and not only to get a reward from it. We must do right things to make ourselves feel proud and have the courage to do better. So in other words we should make right choices that help others and encourage them to. And not be those type of people who want to get rewarded just by doing something that they think is correct. Dean Smith was an honest man and explained what he had felt. He also showed it to his team and to others all around. Choosing the right and making things right is what Dean Smith would do. Being kind is another thing Dean Smith did because he wasn't a selfish man. 

"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, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you." by Dr. Randy Pausch

I think this quote means that if you make good choices in your life, there is no need to worry about getting to your goals. Also that if you lead your life well, all the good luck and fortune will come to you. If people try to bring you down and you keep on making right choices, the carma will hit them back. So you won't have to worry about those kind of people. Choosing the right can get you to where your goals are. But if you make wrong decisions in your life, you might not get at all close to your goals. Being friendly to others is a big part of achieving your goals. This is because if you need someones help, you want to ask someone for that kind of help. So by living your life well and making the correct and feel-better decisions will get you to your goals. But it is all you, you are the one who can decide if you want your goals to come to you. 

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education." by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This quote means that being kind and friendly is also needed to get somewhere in life. Not only being smart but you also have to have manners and be friendly. As in if you are rude but very smart, people are going to dislike you and you might even dislike yourself. Also if you are friendly but not intelligent, you won't get anywhere in life because not only your kindness will help. But if we all ahve character and have intelligence, we would have a good and fun life. In other words we are all smart and we can all be smart, but you have to distinguish yourself by being kind. If you got nothing kind or good to say to others, you shouldn't say anything at all.

School Break Day

For my Christmas break I went out with friends ice skating. We also went to see a movie and celebrate one of our friends birthday. For Christmas we had traditional tamales to eat and alot of family over. With all the money I recieved for Christmas I went shopping and I am going to a concert of my favorite band with half that money. A ctr experience for me was when a lady was getting pushed by her husband, my mom stopped it and called the police for abusing her. She thanked us for the help and I felt very great helping someone out. Some sports I watched was my friends soccer team and the L.A Kings hockey game. I also went to downtown disney to eat at goofy's kitchen for my little sisters 8th birthday. After that we went to the snow to celebrate New Years Eve. Also my mom is planning to move houses so we looked into many houses too. After all I had a really cool year in 2015.

"Always do right." by Mark Twain

What this quote means is that you should always do what is right, no matter what the surcumstances are. For example if it's lying to protect a friend, you shouln't put yourself in that risk. And if you feel what your doing is wrong, stop and think about what is doing right then do that. Also by doing right things you get rewarded for your good deeds maybe not psychally but mentally yes. By always doing right things, other people would want to be like you, choosing the right. It all matters by making right desicions, choices, and acting right. An act of being kind is doing right because that person would appreciate you acting that way. Following your own path is doing good because you won't be like anyone else. But by making your own path correctly and wisely. 

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

This quote means that while we are all doing the right thing we won't be afraid of anything. For example if you trewat others the way you want to be treated, you don't have to worry about others treating you badly. Same goes to making right choices, because then good things will come your way by making correct desicions. And finally by acting in a rightful matter, you wouldn't have to worry what people think and say about you, not that you should care anyway but they will reconize how great you are. So by doing right things for ourselfs and for others, you don't have to be afraid what comes your way. For example like taking risks and putting yourselfs out there and aim for what you know is good.

1. Can people trust me to do what's right? 

2. Am I committed to doing my very best?

3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

"If the answer to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail." by Lou Holtz

By the meaning of this is that by doing all of these things you will succeed in life. You will succeed because then people can trust, do your best, and treat you in a polite and kindly matter. This will make you look good by you personalitybecause they will regonize how much potential you have. But what it means when it says you won't fail is that you need to make the right desicions for your life so you will not fail. I know I can say yes to all three questions and many other great ones. I can say yes because I know how it feels to be treated bad, not being trusted, and sometimes not doing my best. Now I changed that, now I choose the right because I am a very polite person who is trusted and doing great for myself. This can prepare you for any problems you have. I chose the image below because it shows a group being trusted by just one person of people. Which is how we all should be.

"Kindness is the essence of greatness." by Joseph B. Wirthlin

I think this quote means that when you do things that are for the greater good, makes you a great and better person. For example when you donate money to people who need it, or donate other things that others need more makes you a very good person. Not only will it make the person you donated to feel good but you can also make yourself feel good because you did a good deed for others in your community. To this I have donated my hair two times to children and others who have cancer and can't grow their own. I myself feel good when I do because I know it is for a good cause and it doesn't bug me to donate because I can always grow my hair as long as I want it to. Also I have went to Downtown L.A to feed the homeless people there, it was truly amazing seeing how happy you can make someone just by the little things you do or give them. Honestly even by being kind you can make someone's day. My mom and my step dad always buy little presents for Christmas to take them to the poor kids in Mexico who don't have a family and no one to help them out.

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it." by Marcus Aurelius

This quote is trying to say that you should not do wrong things nor say wrong things. Or you will get punished for it sooner or later by saying or doing wrong things. In other words if you choose the right and do right things, you will feel good about yourself. If you do something bad your going to keep that in your memory because you did something bad. Sometimes when you do good things you get rewarded in a way, probably not physically but mentally. In other words if you do something bad you willnot get anything good out of it. So that is why you shouln't cheat yourself in no way. Always choose the right and make right desicions. So there are many resons to be kind to everyone. I chose the picture in the bottom because it shows that he is lying, but they teach him not to. 

"Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing." by Chick Moorman

What I feel this quote is trying to say, is that if your an honest person and everything it's telling you to be, is better than a prize. For example, if someone is racing and you are about to win, but then your apponent falls and hurts themeselves, you shoul hold back and check up on them. If you do this you will feel good about yourself because you chose to be fair and help that person out. That is why you should be right, fair, and honorable because you have integrity within yourself. You should treat others the way you want to be treated. Sometimes it is good to be honorable because you commit to something that you promise to do. And when you are honorable, people will sometimes return the favor and be honorable back to you. So win or lose, if you tried you best and were fair, you honestly still win. The picture at the bottom shows a little boy helping an elderly women cross the street being fair.
