“Dare to stand alone.”

Thomas S. Monson

I really like this quote from Thomas because it says a lot. I think most people would be afraid to actually stand up for their opinions and what they think is right. A lot of people just follow where there is more people because they don’t like to be alone. But he is saying and giving the message that it doesn't matter if you’re the only one with the opinion, if you believe in it and you think is right then you shouldn't care what anyone else thinks. So everyone should take that challenge and next time they think something is wrong they should stand up on their own and for their own opinion and not just follow the crowd so they wont feel lonely. 

Venice Beach

Venice Beach is a beach in Venice, California but it isn’t like any ordinary beach. I really love this beach because it is different. The beach isn’t dirty or anything and the surroundings are really beautiful. Almost every time you go it is always full of people. You can find almost anything in the boardwalk. Small shops, food restaurants, a freak show, and also a psychic reading shop. There’s all kinds of entertainments in the boardwalk like instrumental musicians, singers, dancers, acrobats, magicians, etc. That is why I love Venice Beach because every time you go you won’t regret going. You never know what you’re going to see. I highly recommend everyone to go to Venice because it is nice. If you’re up for an adventure that is were you should go. I feel like Venice beach is a place of no judgment, I feel like Venice accepts all kinds of people because everywhere you look everyone is different. That’s also another reason I like going. You could feel the positive vibes that penetrate through the air. There is no negativity. Soon I will go back to this wonderful beach.

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

Theodore Roosevelt

I think what this quote means is that often when we are presented with a choice where you have to pick an option, we think and think and think about it so much when it honestly isn’t even necessary. There has to be an obvious right choice in what you should do. So that decision would be the best one you can do. I think by him saying this quote he wants people to understand that there is always a right choice and you should always go for that one. The second option isn’t even a choice. The right choice outweighs the bad. So I agree with him; choosing the right thing to do is the best thing we can all do when we are faced with a conflict. 

Progress Post



I've only reached a few of my goals. The big ones i'm trying to achieve them in the long run. Also a goal that i want to really achieve is to pass all my classes this semester. It's become a little hard, and im kind of behind in some school work but im willing to make it up and get back on track. I am aware that there is only about 5 weeks left of school so i have to get my stuff together. Some goals I've achieved are kind of stupid like going to my favorite bands concert. Another goal I've achieved that i am actually happy about is being a more positive person. I used to be so negative and pessimistic but now i am more positive and open-minded. So i am glad that i am able to work on myself. I know that i will keep on reaching more goals in the future so i can't wait till I've achieved most of them.

Visualization-Imagination
“What you see is what you get”
I think what this quote means is that everything; your future, where you want to be at, etc. all depends on how you view yourself. Whether you view yourself positively, or negatively. Whatever you view yourself as if what you are going to get in the future. You should know where you want to be at later in life, whether you want to be successful or not. Just like the basketball player and the orthodontist they saw themselves being that. Whenever they looked In the mirror they knew what they wanted to be. So I think we should think positively about ourselves and what we want to become In life and just focus in reaching our goal.  

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

Henry David Thoreau

I think what Henry is trying to say is that many other investments may fail but the only one that doesn’t is goodness, I guess everything you do with good intentions and with goodness never fails. Everything you put hard work into, and dedication will come out positive and not negative. I think maybe he’d try to encourage people to do things with good intentions. Out of all investments that you make, goodness is the only one who won’t let you down.
