                          Basketball Game of Kindness 
                                                          November 20, 2014

                 I thought the best video was the video about Michael given the opportunity to play in the basketball game. The coach was very generous and kind for have given him the opportunity of playing despite the fact that the team would win or lose. Another fact about the video that I believed was very considerate and amazing was the the opponent let Michael shoot the ball, even if he was in the opposite team. This was a wonderful video I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch it.

"KINDNESS IS THE ESSENCE OF GREATNESS."

                         Joseph B. Wirthlin 

Reflection: I don't completely agree with this quote because I can not find how being kind can lead to greatness. I mean you can be really kind but not bright and so I believe that will not help you become a great person. The definition of "great" cannot be explained in one word. Being great is a combination of several ideas mixed together, in my opinion. 

          Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

The History of Thanksgiving

From then, others began celebrating for the same cause and in 1863 President Lincoln named Thanksgiving an annual celebration.

                          Marcus Aurelius

If you keep this quote in mind throughout life and while you are making decisions, it will help you become a better person. This spectacular quote also helps you become and seem like a person that is aware of their actions.

"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today." 
   
                         -James Freeman Clark

Reflection: I am very grateful to all the brave male and female veterans and soldiers that serve the army and choose to protect us from other countries that want to attack us. I feel protected, secure, and safe thanks to these very brave and generous people. I admire the veterans because i would never have the guts to go to war knowing whether or not i will go back to my family alive. If I were to meet a veteran and tell them a few words, those words would be THANK YOU.

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

                                                    -Chick Moorman                           

    


I agree with the quote because I believe that our virtues are much greater and meaningful than winning or losing. At the end, winning or losing won’t matter, what will matter is if we chose the right, followed the correct paths, and treat others the right way. This quote translates that winning or losing won’t matter to you 30 years from now. In my opinion, the statement could not become more accurate and defined.

          " He that walketh with wise men, shall be wise:
            but a companion of fools, shall be destroyed." 

                                    Proverbs 13:20 







   

       
Reflection: I completely agree with these words, they couldn't be more specific and accurate. An example of this proverb is someone I used to know began hanging out with the wrong people and was offered popularity and a reputation. My friend each day began dressing different, looking different, and acting different. A week later, I could barely recognize her. She began being careless in all her classes, talking back to the teacher, and rarely doing her homework. The next thing I know, she was smoking and trying out different drugs. At the end of  that grade level, the group of people moved on to transform someone else and that was finally when she began to pay attention to what she had done. But, it was too late she was too far behind in all her classes. She began hanging out with the fools, and so she became a fool herself.

I would consider the career because the job seems very relaxing, peaceful, and it is used for calming and natural reasons. In addition, it is an appropriate process for any age group so it can benefit everyone!
