" You can't hire someone else to do your push-ups for you."
-Jim Rohn

I think what this great man means is that you HAVE to do your own things. You can't go all your life making other do people do what YOU have to do. That doesn't make sense, because when you truly are alone and you need to do something, its just going to be you having to do your own things, no one else. It is better to always do your own things so that you can become strong and versatile. At the end it is your life, not someone elses.

"Visualization-Imagination: What you see is what you get"
-Anon

I believe what this quote means is that whatever you are aiming for, that is what you get. For example, if i believe i will become a doctor, I will become a doctor because I will try hard to become one. On the other hand, if my imagination is lower, I will imagine myself as a cashier at McDonald's because that is the furthers I imagine myself going. It all depends on your aspect and way of seeing things. The higher your expectations, the more likely you will be something in life."

Cowardice asks the question 'Is it safe?'
Expediency asks the question 'It is politic?'
Vanity asks the question 'Is is popular?'

But, conscience asks the questions, 'Is it right?'
And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor
popular, but one must take it because one's 
conscience tells one that it is right.
-Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr.

     This is a great quote by a great man. He is basically saying that you can be cocky,rude, disrespectful, but deep inside you always know that what you do is wrong and bad. Your conscience always wins over, and that is when you realize that all you have done is bad. He is stating that conscience is the only thing that makes us, humans.

"Right is right only when entire."

-Victor Hugo


I think this quote is really good because it makes a lot of sense. Nothing can be part good part evil, it is either entirely evil, or entirely good. This is why it makes a lot of sense, because even if you don't understand it at first, almost anything can relate to it. For example, take a look at Osama Bin Laden, some people think he was good, and some people think he was bad. But in the end, he was plain evil on the eyes of everyone because he killed so many people for no reason.

Student Success Statement

"That which we persist in doing become easier to do, not that the nature of things has changed, but that our power to do has increased."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is a great quote because it makes a lot of sense. Anyone with a bit of brain can understand this. He is saying that, at first things might seem hard, but the more you do them and keep trying the more easier they seem or are. I believe that anything will always be hard in the beginning because you don't have experience with those things, but as soon as you get the hang of it, it will not only be easier, but it will start to be more enjoyable.

One day they can be happy and the other day they might try to kill you. Also they make noises or movements that can scare anyone and that is especially freaky.

Lies and Deciet

When You Tell One Lie

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, Oh brother,

Your're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so fools wont suspect you

Then you tell six lies and you'll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

'Cause you cant remember how many lies you've told

And half the things you say aren't true

And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep multiplying

'Till  the whole wide world will know your lying

Then you'll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected
Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you're closing the door

On everything good

Student Success Statement


"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in determination."

-Tommy Lasorda

I think this coach has the right ideas because he wouldn't be a coach, if he didn't know how to train his group. What I mean by training is not lifting or bench-pressing, I mean he thought them how to be winner mentally. He taught them how keep going without giving up. That is what really won them the games, not the physical exercise. That is what makes him such a great coach, and what makes this student success statement so good.
