“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.

“He listens well who takes notes.”
Dante Alighieri

This is an amazing quote by Dante Alighieri. Those who listen well and take notes are the ones that will prosper and efficiently gain knowledge. When you listen and take notes you are better able to comprehend what you just learned and memorize it for later use. Notes are crafted for the purpose of writing down what you are learning (either in a visual or auditory manner) and there are many aspects that can affect your comprehension such as legibility, abundance of important information, etc. Those who are ultimately good listeners will take the best notes and therefore many are considered diligent which will lead them to obtain and comprehend an endless amount of knowledge.

Walk the talk

Summary: In the beginning of the video the audience (my classmates and I) are presented with the words honesty, integrity, respect, and ethics. The video then presents a question what is the greatest human challenge? The answer according to the video is “living by our beliefs.” Then we are presented with the definitions to the words from the beginning of the video. The video is accompanied by music throughout its entire length.

Reflection: This video presented a proper topic and enlightened me. Many of us are stimulated by certain beliefs. Many great actions require effort and the wonderful words presented in the video are examples of what is required to prosper.

“Choosing the Right is always the right thing to do.” Alex Linares

I agree with this statement from my teacher’s former student. Is it better to do what is right or what is wrong? Many of us rationalize our motives for the choices we make either lying to your friend or doing your homework in class, but we never realize that every moment we are committing these wrong actions we do not understand the severity of our actions, but we are not blind to our wrong doing we know when we commit wrong actions we just choose to do nothing about it. We must abide by the rules that let us prosper. If you encounter a rule that you believe improper you still have to abide by it or ask city officials to either disband or change the law, but we cannot choose to ignore it. When you “Choose the Wrong” you are smearing a stain on your morale and not doing the correct thing therefore your sense/ perspective of judgment is terrible, but if you “Choose the Right” your sense of judgment is morally good.

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong."

Wilford Woodruff

Nothing, not even a miniscule amount of good will be derived from anything wrong. Those who "Choose the Wrong" are mislead and fools because they should know that nothing is ever gained when they commit wrong actions and will only accomplish things that will hurt them later on. Those who commit right/good actions will always benefit one way or another and will never feel guilt or anger, instead they will be enlightened and prosper. Those who commit wrong actions will feel atrocious because it is our nature to do what is right and help others, not to be manipulated by greed and other despicable desires  to commit wrong actions because no one wants to be a puppet controlled by misleading ideals and such.
