“Attitude is the mind’s paintbrush. It can color any situation.”

Anonymous

Reflection: 

your attitude defines the way you see things in either a good or bad way, it’s up to you whether you decide to stay positive and look at the bright side of everything, or you want to stay negative and think of everything from the dark side. Having a positive attitude towards yourself and others will make you a better person. Only you can decide to paint your situation the color you want. From dark to bright, or from bright to dark. No one but yourself has control over that.

Example: looking at homework from a good attitude, you’ll notice it’ll help you not only understand better but do better. On the other hand if you look at it from a bad attitude, you’ll believe that homework is just a waste of time and you’re not learning anything from it. So it’s really just up to you how you want to see things.

“He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

A Proverb

Reflection: sometimes in life it’s always better to be alone than to be around the wrong group of people. What is popular is not always right, and what is right is not always popular. (;   Being around bad influence is most likely going to influence you into doing something that is not right, unlike if you’re around a group of people that worry about their future and actually try to reach their goals. Be someone positive in life, don’t ever let the negativity get to you. Be smarter than that, always do what right and never give up on your goals or dreams because you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. J !

“You can’t hire someone else to do your pushups for you.”

Jim Rohn

Reflection: you can’t have others accomplish YOUR goals, they’re your goals for a reason. They are there for YOU to accomplish them not others. You always have to stand for yourself in order to get far, because in life there’s always going to be someone better, but that’s only if you allow yourself to fail. Nothing is too difficult, always set your mind to accomplishing your goals and never stop until you have reached them. But never depend on others, because at the end its always going to just be you for your own self.

example: taking a test knowing you didnt study, you're most likely to copy off someone else, but you know thats not right. its always better to take it yourself than copy of someone else. (x

Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Colonel were riding their horses and as they traveled many miles together Mr. Colonel takes out a bottle of whiskey and asks Mr. Lincoln if he would like to take a drink, Mr. Lincoln refuses. Mr. Colonel then brings out a pack of cigarettes and asks Mr. Lincoln if he would like to take a “smoke” with him. Mr. Lincoln then tells him over the story he promised his mother he would never use tobacco or whiskey.
