"Kindness is the essence of greatness'

          "Kindness is the essence of greatness."
                     By: Joseph B. Wirthlin

This quote means the only way to live a great life and have greatness in your life is by being kind. Being kind and generous to everyone and everything isn't just having greatness in your life but it also makes you feel good about yourself. For example, even if you're the champion of a soccer game or a video game or whatever, that doesn't make you a good person if you're always cussing and being disrespectful to everyone. You might be a champion at that but at being a good person you're not because you don't have any kindness. But unlike someone who's kind to everyone and everything, they might not be a champion or be very good at a sport or video game but they're living a good life. They have kindness in their life and that leads them to living a life of greatness. Being disrespectful will cause you to live a life without good or greatness. Kindness will lead you to a good life. It's not good to be disrespectful or rude to anyone or anything. That will bring negative consequences to your life. But being kind, will do the opposite. It rewards you and makes you feel good about yourself.

Thanksgiving Week

                                       Thanksgiving Week

During Thanksgiving I just watched movies like Scream, Scream 2, Four Christmases, Orphan, etc. I didn't really have much to do but I was able to go to the Edwards Theaters with my friends and watched Creed, which was a really good movie. Thanksgiving day was a really boring day although I was able to hang out with my friend and walk around the park with him. Other than that, I went to my aunt's house and ate posole. It was pretty boring like every other family party but I did have fun with my cousin. Sadly, I wasn't able to go to Black Friday or go shopping at all. On various days, I also did my English and Health homework and did finish it. My mom, sister, brother, and I were planning on going to The Hollywood Christmas Parade yesterday but we weren't able to go so we totally missed it. I also watched 12 Wishes of Christmas, Criminal Minds, and one of my favorite shows, American Horror Story. Along with that, I also texted with my friend and that's pretty much it. My break was pretty boring like my life so there's nothing much to tell.

"If it is not right, do not do it; If it is not true, do not say it."

                 "If it is not right, do not do it;

                  if it is not true, do not say it."

                       By: Marcus Aurelius

This quote means that you should never do what's wrong if you know it's not right. You also shouldn't say what's wrong if you know it's not true. You should always say what's true and do what's right because that's what makes you a better person. Doing the opposite of that, makes you a bad person. When you do what's right and say what's true, you'll be rewarded. But if you do the opposite, you'll have negative consequences brought to you. It's never good to lie and do what's wrong. You might think it's right but it's not. Telling the truth and doing what's right might not sound good at the time but it will later on. And at least, you'll be honest and courageous to do what's right. For example, never lie.

Thanksgiving Day

                                              Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated in the US and Canada to give thanks for everything they're grateful for. The first Thanksgiving in the United States was on Plymoth Rock in Massachusetts in 1621. The pilgrims celebrated after harvest and surviving a long winter. Canada celebrates it on the second day of October and the US celebrates it on the fourth Thursday of November. English colonists known as Pilgrims celebrate thanksgiving as part of their religion. The traditional foods of Thanksgiving are: turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and stuffing.

12 things I'm thankful for:

• Family
• Education
• Real Friends
• One Direction and all my favorite artists
• Life
• Food
• Health
• Clothes
• Fun 
• Waking up another day

"Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is more important than winning or losing."

      "Doing what is right, fair, and honorable is                more important than winning or losing."
                        By: Chick Moorman

This quote means that it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it only matters if you do what's right, fair, and honorable. If you win then that's good and if you lose, well there's always next time but if you do those 3 things, it'll be like winning. You lost the game but you won at being a good person who did the right thing. Winning isn't always the most important thing and if you lose it's not that bad. If someone wins and doesn't do any of those 3 things, then it'll be like losing because you didn't do what's fair, what's right and what's honorable. You might've won the game but you didn't win at being a good person. You did the opposite of that. Losing and winning don't matter as long as you do those 3 things. You shouldn't let a game change who you are and cause you to not do the right thing. It's better to lose at a game but win at being a very good person.

"...These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity."

        "...These are the 3 magic keys to living 
                      your life with integrity."
                      By: W. Clement Stone

The 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity are: having the courage to say no, having the courage to face the truth, and doing the right thing because it's right. This quote means that in order to live a truthful life, you have to live by these rules. When you're in a situation that will bring you negative consequences to your lie, you need to be brave and say no. For example, if you're friends offer you to do drugs, you need to have the courage to say no, even if they're your friends. You also have to have the courage to face the truth because then your life will be based on lies and that won't do you any good. For example, if you break something in your house and your parents ask you, 'Who did it?', you need to have the courage to tell the truth and not lie. If you lie and blame it somebody else, you're making someone else pay for the consequences of your actions. You won't be able to live with that guilt. It's also not good to cover up for someone that did something bad. Regardless of whether they're your friends or siblings or people close to you, you have to tell the truth. Even though they're the ones who did something bad, you're gonna pay the consequences along with thme because you lied and covered up for them. It's always good to tell the truth and do the right thing for yourself. You also have to do the right thing in life because you'll be rewarded in good ways.
