"Obedience.... is the primary objective of all sound education."
-Elizabeth Missing Sewell

I think what this great woman means is that in order to be well educated, you have to pay attention and follow directions. For example, how would a little kid learn if he throws tantrums over test scores, over missing projects etc. in order for that kid to learn he has to shut up and listen. That's the only way anyone will learn. You can't talk back because that's being disobedient.

Obedience:
Obedience is generally distinguished from compliance, which is behavior influenced by peers, and from conformity, which is behavior intended to match that of the majority. Obedience can be seen as immoral, amoral and moral.

When you talk to your pet dog and he follows your directions. For example, you tell him to sit and he does.

" I would prefer even to fail with honor,
than win by cheating."
-Sophocles
 I think what this great philosopher  means is that, true honor means to always keep trying without everh giving up, because as soon as you cheat or give up, you lose all your honor, as a man, and as a person. Honor is the only thing that helps us, as humans, to be able to stay friends and respect eatch other. Without honor, this world would not be how it is right now. We would have many more wars every day, every year, and it would impact us so much.

Student Success Statement
Attitude is the mind's paintbrush. It can color any situation.


What I think this saying means is that everything is white, and your brain is the paint. You can have a good attitude and paint it colorful, with cheerful colors. That means that you want to be happy, On the other hand, you can  paint it with gloomy colors, like black and brown. With those colors, you might be sad, angry, depressed. Your mind can do a lot of powerful things, but your attitude can stop it from doing so, or empower it to do so.

"He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."
-A proverb

I think what this means is that whoever you hang out with, is who you are going to become like. For example if you are a good kid, but you start hanging out with stoners and retards, you are going to become like on of them, eventually. On the other hand, if you hang out with kids who are always studying and being respectful, you will eventually be like them, smart and respectful. "Friends" have a great influence on you even if you don't notice it, but by the time you do, you will see how much you have changed, and it could be for good or bad, it all depends on your choices.

Integrity

This video was about integrity  and it focused on Abraham Lincoln. He made a promise to his mom before she died that he would never smoke or drink. One day he was walking with his general, and the general told him to smoke or drink with him. Abe told him the story of his mom and the promise, and after he finished telling the story, the general have him his respect for keeping up with the promise no matter what. That is what integrity really is. Keeping up with your promises and always doing what you feel is the right thing to do, and that is exactly what Abraham Lincoln did. I always keep up with my promises and appointments.

"You will never be a winner if you lose your temper"
-Anon

I think what this guy/girl means is that nobody likes a sore loser. If you lose, suck it up, don't go crying about it. Do something if you lose, whether it be practice harder, work harder, train harder, or just learn from your mistakes. Nobody likes to hang around with "that guy" who complains all the time about simple stuff like losing a game or something. For example, my friend loses all the time, but he never gets sad or depressed, he just learns from his mistake so that he wont have to lose because of that again.

"There is no giant step that does it. It's a lot of little steps."
-Anon

I think what this "Anon" means is that you can't become a professional at something, if you try it for the first time. It takes time and patience. It can't be done in one second, it wouldn't make sense. In order to be something in life you have to have the patience and attitude of a champion, even if you don't succeed most of the time. That is what makes people great.
