Kindness

           "Kindness is the essence of greatness". This quote is a very important quote of how we all need Kindness. Joseph B. Wirthlin wanted us to know that kindness will give us honor and greatness. If there were an old lady walking with her groceries alone, the nicest thing to do is to carry it for her. Opening the door for others will help your kindness level. Giving gifts without having anything in return will help. All of these examples are acts of kindness, and will help you be greater.

Thanksgiving Week

         I had so much fun at thanksgiving week. To start off, on Monday, I was happy enough to hang out with my favorite cousin. Every monday is cousin night in which my cousin, Ruth, hangs out with Sara and I. We watched many movies that day. It's fun when she comes because we would do challenges, like the Bean Boozled Challenge, play games, or watch movies. At Tuesday, I also hanged out with Ruth, Laiza ( a friend), and Sara, after doing activities at pacific. Then we went to McDonalds and ate breakfast. We went to Ruth’s house and played games. Wednesday we went to help my mom work at her job. She cleans houses, and I like helping her =). Thursday was the day we woke up at 5 am to go to Mexicali at Mexico to visit our family. We stopped by Jack to get Breakfast. We got there around 11 pm. We ate sopes and hanged with the family. At Friday, we went to La Cachanilla, which is the mall at Mexicali. After that we went to a place called Frutal, which is our tradition in which when ever we go to Mexicali, we get ice cream there. Saturday we went to see our cousins play Soccer at their tournament. Finally, Sunday we went back home, and I was able to see my two dogs again, Charlie and Blackie. We relaxed the whole day. I loved my thanksgiving weekend.

Manners maketh man

         Have you ever heard of this quote? Well it was made from William Wykeham. He said, “Manners maketh man”. This quote is very important, it shows us who we truly are and what we truly do. If people notice that we aren’t nice, despicable, and harmful, they would consider us animals. Animals act in such a way that we can relate to them. But we don’t want anyone to be judging us and calling us animals, right? We want to have manners and be called a good name. If someone is polite, says please and thank you, they will identify us as humans/people. In this case whatever we do will be judged. And surely we want to be named people, not animals.

Don't do it, don't say it!

Have you heard the saying, “If it is not right do not do it”? Yep this quote was made by Marcus Aurelius. Do you guys know what does this mean? This means that you shall CTR 24/7. If you know that isn’t right, THEN DON’T DO IT!!! He also said another marvelous statement, “if it is not true, do not say it”. Do you know what are rumors? Yeah, they are things that people tell other people throughout the whole world! And to end it off, some of them are fake and untrue. In this case, if it isn't right, DON'T DO IT!!!; If it is not true, DON'T SAY IT!!!

Doing what is right, is fair and honorable

           

         What kind of person are you? Are you a CTR person, an average-normal person, or are you a cheater-CTW person? These aren’t the only people that exist in the world, because everyone is different. But, what is you choose the right, what do you get in return? According to Chick Moorman, “Doing what is right , fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing”. I definitely agree with this statement. Did you know some athletes in football games cheat by using, steroids, and other techniques? Compared to the athletes that actually try their best to achieve their goal. If you were to name each of these groups by, CTR or CTW, where would you place them? Obviously the chesters=CTW and the people who try=CTR.

         Veterans day is coming at Friday, November 11, 2016. Veterans Day is a day to honor the people who go/went to the military. It will always be at November 11, 2016. The purpose of veterans day is to keep helping our nation to be strong by the military. It is important to show honor to veterans day because many people who fought for us is here to represent us. One way to show honor to them is meeting the and telling them thanks. Another way can be doing the flag salute to them. There are many ways you can honor them.

Reflection: I think it is nice knowing about veterans day, but I don’t celebrate it. I don’t want to be rude or anything just that the bible teaches us many things about this. The bible clearly shows that we shouldn’t assassinate or kill. No offense, but the soldiers that has fought in that war kill people, and I know it is for the country, but they are people. Knowing that Jehovah doesn’t like seeing people dying we should think like he does too. He doesn’t want any war at all, he wants us to be happy. So I don’t celebrate this holiday. I will show respect to it but not adore it.

The 3 Magical Keys

Have you heard of the three magical keys? If you have, good for you, if you haven’t this is the reason why I’m typing this. W. Clement Stone mentioned them. The three keys are:

1. Have courage to say no.
2. Have courage to face the truth.
3. Do the right thing because it is right.

What a marvelous statement he gave us to keep choosing the right by doing this. If someone offers you drugs or alcohol ay NO! If you did something that was wrong, face the truth it will work out! ALWAYS, ALWAYS CTR 24/7!!!!!

Be Wise

Have you ever read the Bible, because the bible has good sayings. In Proverbs 13:20 it wanted one us to know how to be a wise man. It says, “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise. But a companion who fools shall be destroyed”. In this Proverb it showed that we shall be with wise people. If we need advice and help, we should follow what it says, to always find a wise person. Always be a CTR person so you may continue being wise. If you do, people would look up to you, and they won’t underestimate you. If you're going to be foolish, you will be destroyed according to the bible. It is true because some families, or people are torn apart by being foolish. We shall always be wise.

Recreate Good

“The best recreation is to do good”. This quote was made by the one n only, William Penn. What he wanted us to do is to always choose the right. If we don't choose the right we can end up doing the opposite of the recreation. An example of recreation can be your grades. If you get high, advanced GPA’s like 3.5-4.0 you will surely know about recreation. If you get 3.5-0 you will know you aren’t recreating.
