A choice

" I hated poverty.Poverty is more than anything else, and I can change that. It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it." is what Dr. Ben Carson once said. I believe that Ben said this to us and stated it to let us know that if you really want to get things in life you would have to work for it as hard as you can. For example lets say you are in poverty it is your choice if you want to get out of that or still stay in that situation. You know that you will need to work hard and smart to get out of poverty but instead you chose to just slack off and not care about that. In the long run you would then have to work much more hard and also will then be struggling to even put some food on the table. Now lets say that your back in the same situation with you being in poverty. Once again it is up to you to work hard and get yourself out of that and you realize that. so the next day your hard at work trying to earn more to live better and you then even try getting a second or third job as well to earn more cash. The chance are that you will then get out of poverty and then become able to live better because you tried working harder to get out of something that was effecting you and now your at ease. This is what I think about this statement and it is to always work your best and overcome any obstacle that might be in your way.

Count Leo Tolstoy

"Only those live who do good."- Count Leo Tolstoy once said. When you do good things you feel good about it. This is because you don't have to live with guilt of doing something bad. for example lets say that you see someone who just got robbed and they where robbed lets say $50. You feel bad for that person and you see that you might have that much . You hand the money to the person and tell them why you gave it to them and most likely they will be grateful for you doing that. Now lets say that you where the person who committed the crime. You then have to worry about getting caught by officials and hopping that they don't track you down.

The 3 questions - Lou Holtz

The 3 questions we should ask ourselves to live a good life are. Can people trust me to do the right thing. Am i committed to doing my very best. Lastly do I treat people the way i want to be treated. If you can live by these rules I am positive that you can a live a good life. Also these rules were presented and said by Lou Holtz who was a football coach and would use these rules not only for his team but also for himself. Lou believes that if you can follow these rules you are able to live a better life as well as one which you are happier in. Believe or not it is true i live by these rules as well and you know what it makes me happier to be in this world we live in because i live by these rules. I would suggest that you try living by these rules everyone in a while or every day if your ups to it and see how much better of a person you can be and feel as well. Overall I think that this is an outstanding statement from Lou and I believe that everyone should live this as well.

Brigham Young

"True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right."-Brigham Young once said. This quote truly has a good meaning in the sense that you have freedom in doing what's right. For example lets say that you want to go out with some friends. You ask your parents if you can go out and they say yes if only if you can run some errands. You do what they ask from you and go out doing the errands for them. When you return from them they let you go out with your friends since you did was right and listened to your parents. Now lets say that you did the opposite of this. You ask your parents if you may go out and the same scenario accrues. Instead of doing whats asked you decide to go to sleep and freshen up to go out. When your friends come for you, you are not able to go since you didn't do anything so you can't go out. So do whats right.
