Using the Internet Wisely

Thanks to the Internet, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.

You’ve probably used the Internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Locating information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find websites that are credible.

Many websites claim to contain trustworthy information, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased manner --- they only provide information through ones perception. How can you decide whether a source is reliable or not? Also, it is critical that you only post decent and appropriate information online, never any pornographic, vulgar, indecent, offensive, untruthful, or obscene. Post information that will provide others with a likable perception of you and your organization, which will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

“The Three Don’ts: Don’t whine, Don’t complain, and Don’t make excuses.”
John Wooden

This is an amazing quote by former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden. You can never prosper if you complain about doing things that will benefit you later on. For example, if you are complaining to your Physical Education instructor that you do not want to run, that it’s hard, and so on while you are not aware that by running you will improve your time on the mile test. Those who whine, complain, and formulate excuses for what they cannot do are blinded by doubt which can deferment their ability to prosper. These “Don’ts” express the fundamental attributes that are essential for success.

“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”
Robert E. Lee
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee

If you commit an action that will lead to the benefit of many and is overall good in nature then you will be rewarded with immense satisfaction because you did what is right. Doing what is right will be progressively simple if you commit the correct actions more often and it will become much more simple that you would not be conflicted by a proper and by an improper choice. If you commit a proper action then you will not feel any guilt or confliction that would be felt if you committed an improper action and therefore you would be rewarded by your conscience with the satisfaction and approval of your decision. Though committing proper actions can be viewed as a responsibility becuase it sometimes is responsibility that is benefiting for you and for those around you and with practice can soon become an idea that you will always strive for.

“Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.”
Woodrow Wilson

This is an amazing quote by Woodrow Wilson. This quote describes invigorated activists who would assertively ask for change that many will benefit from and that is correct. This quote is not inferring that those who want change should physically engage in conflict, but should rather assertively propose and defend their cause. When confronting an issue you are never supposed to use any force on any obstacle that arises, but if you should take action then you should be ready to justify the motive of your actions.

“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”
Rosa Parks

This is amazing statement by the profoundly inspirational Rosa Parks. When you commit something that is considered morally correct and that will benefit you and others you do not fear the consequences. When you commit something that is morally incorrect you are overwhelmed with shame and guilt which then manifests itself into other emotions. Rosa Parks was an African American fought for the civil rights of other African American individuals and did not feel any guilt or shame because she knew that her cause was just and she and many others will benefit from it. When you commit a morally correct action you will feel at ease, but when you commit something that is incorrect you will never be at ease.

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.” Theodore Roosevelt

This is an amazing quote by one of the most memorable president of the United States. A decision is being formulated every second of everyday. In a moment of decision we consider many outcomes and whether our next choice will be proper or improper. Doing what is morally correct when making a decision will manifest the best possible outcome because you are not doing anything wrong. Sometimes you make a decision that you know is wrong, but you benefit from it and therefore think that it is okay to “stretch the truth”, but in reality it is wrong and later on all you will only feel guilty because you either injured your moral or others (either physically or emotionally by your improper desicion.)

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”
Thomas Carlyle

This is an amazing quote by Mr. Carlyle. A man without a goal cannot experience either the consequences or benefits of his/ her actions. A man without a goal does not establish any and wanders aimlessly and has goals set upon him by others and does not realize anything. Without a goal you do not have any stability and do not know where to navigate in life because they do not expect anything from themselves and rarely do anything to benefit from. The rudder is an important of a ship then without it the ship cannot propel itself properly and will be maneuvered by the waves and the wind later to end up in a random destination. Those who let themselves be maneuvered by others like the ship will end up in a random situation which is mostly an unpleasant one. A man without a goal is deprived of purpose and will not accomplish anything that will benefit him, but will compensate others by fulfilling their desires either good or bad.

The benefits of Study Groups

Groups study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: Reinforce note-taking. If your AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill in the gaps. Each person brings in different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or capacity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none would have solved alone.

Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of one another.

Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying!

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.” - Albert A. Montapert

This is magnificent statement by Albert A. Montapert. No one can ever commit an action without a consequence being manifested by the action “what goes around comes around.” When our judgment and moral sense are clouded by greed and evil ambitions we ignore the consequence(s) that accompany. Any and I mean any action no matter how miniscule or tremendous will always manifest a consequence often mirroring the proportion of the action. A few weeks ago my friend was talking about how he did not complete his homework and how he was going to complete it during advisory. What my friend did not understand was by not completing his homework he will now have to complete it in advisory and he might not comprehend the subject that well. Consequences can either benefit or affect the individual and will always manifest themselves no matter what the action may be.

 



7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens: Habit 4

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
Habit 4

4. Think Win-Win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that is possible to create an atmosphere of Win- Win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win- Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win- Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.

          Win- win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win- Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win- Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win- Lose and Lose- Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

          Win- Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win- Win or no deal.

"You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."

Ezra Taft Benson

I immensly agree with this magnificent quote. It is indeed impossible to even feel the slightest bit rewarded when you commit and action that is wrong. When you do something wrong you will not feel rewarded or benefited, instead you will feel guilt and dissapointment. Why do something inproper? Do people do it thinking that they can benefit from it. Those who commit inproper actions know that they are doing something wrong, but choose to proceed and do it anyway and believe that they are not under any juristiction, but they are the law is their juristiction and deep down they know that they are doing something wrong and only feel guilt and dissapointment settling down upon the morality and they will never feel rewarded because it is impossible.
