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

Thomas is telling us that if we don’t have any goals then we are just wandering around not knowing where we are headed. If we don’t have any goals set then  we are not going anywhere in life we are just lost without a destination. In order to get through life we must have a plan some goals we want to achieve so that we can be successful later on. WE have to be open minded and have an idea of the goals we want to achieve because if we have no goals set then we are not ready to succeed in life. From this moment forward we have to  have a plan or an idea of where we want to go because if we don’t have anything planned yet then we will be lost later on with  no idea on where to go. If we have no goals then we are like a ship without a rudder we don’t know where we will end up.  We must choose the right and do the right thing which is have a life planning goals journal so we know where we want to go and so we can be prepared at all times. Maybe we forget to do our goals journal but we have to always remember to do them and plan out the thing we want to achieve later on.

          Memorial Day Weekend

     

On memorial day my family and i went out to the movies  and to eat all together as one. It was very fun to go together and just have that family time because usually they’re busy working . Besides going out with them I did my homework my 4-6 page essay was due on the day we came back which was Tuesday. I spent Sunday and Saturday afternoon working on it I slept late those nights just do do my homework. This years memorial day wasn’t as entertaining as the others because I had a ton of homework I had to do and I couldn’t go out unless I had finished. It was also very exciting because I had my karate test on Sunday and I had Monday to just relax and enjoy my family.

“Dare to do right.’’ -By: Rex D. Pinegar

Rex is trying to tell us that we must dare to do the right all the time not just temporary but always. We are dared all the time this is just another way of daring ourselves to do the right no matter what. We may think what’s the point? Or why is it beneficial? Truth is everything goes better when we choose the right. There are many dares we can attempt to do but no matter what we have to accept this new dare so we can keep moving forward no matter what. Not only should we accept this dare but we must also accept any dare that can lead us to the right path of always choosing the right. For example we must dare ourselves to do our homework, chores around the house, or even dare ourselves to do anything that can be beneficial in any way for us. If our friends gives us a dare then we must pay attention to see if the dare is good or bad. If a person gives you  a bad dare then they really aren’t your friends there just looking for trouble. Rex is daring us to always do the right and we should accept because it will only bring us benefits.

                Brook’s Story

Brook is one of the nicest girls that recently moved to Mexico. Brooke gets some rude comments because she is 6’0 feet tall. She isn’t like everyone else she is unique in her own way and stands up by herself. Some positive comments her friends said were that she is the sweetest person, she’s tall but that doesn’t make her different than them, and that she is unique in her own way because she comes from some place different. Instead of her fighting back to the rude comments that she receives she chooses to ignore them because at the end of the day she’s fine and she doesn’t care what the people have to say about her.

“Dare to Stand Alone.” by: Thomas S.Monson

This intriguing statement comes  from Thomas S.Monson and it is pushing us to stand up for what we what believe in even if we end up standing alone. People may look at you weird and make fun of you but it only matters what you think of yourself if you are happy for the action you decided to take. For example if we see a bad action being done and we say nothing about it then we are just as bad as they are. We need to make sure that we end up being with friends that will only encourage us to do great and always choose the right no matter what. If we see a bad action being done then we can make sure to stay away from those people who will only end up giving us bad consequences. It is better to stand alone if you are correct than stand up with a bunch of people and being wrong. If we  believe in something then we should have the courage to stand alone because we are certain about the things we believe in, There are many circumstances in which we want to stand up but we are too afraid to speak up or stand up alone. So we must always choose the right because that is the only thing that can help us to stand alone.

“If I’ve got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.” By- Dan Dierdorf

This quote is telling us that if we have our journal everyday and add more goals then we will for sure accomplish everything we want to accomplish. If we have certain goals we want to accomplish then we have to keep pursuing them as much as possible, Day by day we should keep adding to our goals journal to make sure we pursue those dreams. If we are always choosing the right then we will for sure have a great and successful life. The only way we will succeed is by always doing the right thing no matter how hard it can be. We are not all the same we all have different goals and different dreams we want to achieve. If we want to achieve them then we must keep being persistent so that we can be independent and achieve the things we have set. Sometimes we don’t want to keep going and give up on our goals but that is not the case because we must learn to keep going to that later on we will have a great and successful future.

Phillip Rigg’s Four Success Tips

1. Work Hard
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.
3. Don’t chase after money
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you.

Given these tips it really helps us see how we need to always work hard not only to do good but also to achieve our dreams. “What goes around comes around” is something very important Phillips said because if we do good actions then we will get good actions in return but if we do bad actions then we will get bad actions in return. We need to listen to these tips so that we can slowly start building up our own goals and dreams. One way we can listen to these tips is by following the ctr path. For me the most important tip is “Don’t chase after money” because once we see money all we want to do is earn that money but there is no point in earning money when you’re doing the wrong thing. We should help others whenever they need it because at some point in our life we would need favors from others. If we follow our passions then we will for sure make it because that is something we enjoy doing  and we will continue to do it.

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

These words are very powerful if you learn how to use them and follow them. What I mean is that if we do the right thing while we are making a decision then it is more likely that we will succeed because we are using the ctr path. We must learn how to do the right thing so that it can follow up with a good decision that we will make. For example if we are always using the right then we will have the best decisions. But if we are choosing the wrong then we are going to end up with the bad decisions and we will have to accept the consequences. I can agree with Theodore because it is true we have to learn and always choose the right not only on thinking but on everything we must always choose the right so that we can have a good decision.

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.” -By; Wilford Woodruff

I strongly agree with this because it is true whenever we choose the wrong then we don’t gain good things the only thing we gain are consequences of our actions. If we choose the right then we will for sure gain something good out of it. For example if we decide to not do drugs and be clean then we will for sure gain something out of it like a better health. When we choose the right then we will make better decisions and think twice about our actions. If we think about choosing the wrong then we will never gain anything positive about that everything will just turn out to be negative. When we contribute good things we gain all the positivity we can get because we are choosing the right and doing the right thing at the right time. Sometimes we believe that if we choose the wrong everything will come out easier but in reality everything comes out bad. For example if you are cheating on a test and the teacher catches you instead of getting an A+ you will now achieve a F.

“It’s A GREAT MOMENT when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.” By-Pam Knox

I can agree with this statement because when we do the things at the right time it goes better for us. Meaning first we need to have character in order to step up and do the right thing. If we have a good character then we will definitely do the right thing at the right time. For example if we tell our mom we want to go out and she says clean your room first then we will do the right thing at the right time in order to go out with your friends and have a good time. It feels good when you do the things correctly and at the right time. We need to build up character and step up to do the right thing so we can have an experience on how the “great moment” feels. Not only is she telling us that we should have character but also to choose the right all the time because that is the only way to do the right thing at the right time.

“ I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high , ever so thick , reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand by me on the floor and draw chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first.” by- Karl G. Maeser

This statement is telling us how we must keep the word of honor meaning that if we say something we have to do it. A way you can relate to this is when you make promises you have to keep them you don’t necessarily die but you do get bad consequences from breaking those promises. Ctr   is one of the circles of honor because when we are in the ctr path then we will for sure have a great education and a successful life. If we were to try to get out of the ctr circle then we will face bad consequences. For example we will face jail, we will fall into drugs, and our whole life would fall apart than how we had it. I think that what it means “I’ll die first,” is that we will face harder life decisions and if we aren’t in the ctr path then we will mostly likely get lost with life and have nowhere to go.
