“The best way to predict your future is to create it”

-charles ketterer

What this quote is trying to say is that you should set goals for yourself. Yes, you aren’t able to predict what will happen in the future. Sometimes stuff happen unexpectedly and you look back and say damn i never thought this would happen. For example let’s say your family is poor and then you set a goal for yourself as a little kid and say, “ i am going to save up all the money i get and i will go to college and never be poor again” You get that done and realize that you are capable of things and you have a vision in your mind and know where your future is heading. You must set goals for yourself because it’ll bring reasons to why you do stuff , positive stuff, and you’ll be proud of yourself. If you choose the right, make the right choices you’ll get great things in life, you should never give up and know that if you try you will have a great future. You have to plan it and write it down first in a journal to keep track of everything and be organized. If you write it make sure you get it done because nothing is impossible.

“Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly”

-Otto Graham, Jr.

What this quote is trying to say is that you must think twice before you do something. By this i mean that you should make sure you know you are doing what is right. Always ask yourself what you think the consequences of your action would be. See the good and the bad of every choice you are deciding to take. This will help you when you are confused and don’t know what to do. For example let’s say your friends invite you to a party because they want to go drinking. You start questioning your decision and ask, is this bad or this right? If you choose that it’s right then you will face bad consequences, maybe not in the moment but one day bad actions come to you (karma). Drinking is not good , at all so you make up your mind and say you know what i rather stay home and watch movies. They get mad but you don’t care because you acted accordingly. Don’t ever let yourself get influenced by others. Do what is right for you.

“Act well your part; there all honor lies”

-Alexander Pope

What this quote is trying to say is that you have to do what is right. Not cheat nor lie. You must be honest at all times and not try to get something in an easy way. You must work hard for what you want. Sometimes some stuff are too good to be true and some people like cheating their way out of many things. For example the little league baseball time did not win honorably. They cheated, they brought kids who didn’t belong in their team to play and they all knew but ignored it.Always remember to choose the right even in the worst situation possible. This is very important because if you want to be honored then you have to do what's right. You should never choose the wrong, also known as ctw, because then bad things will happen and you will be destroyed. How embarrassing knowing that you chose wrong and taken the price for a ctw action and then having it taken away. Why put yourself through that? Choose the right and good things will happen. Anything is possible, it just takes time and practice, and don’t give up.
