"Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy."

-David A. Bednar

I don't completely agree with is because sometimes you know what is best for you and someone might be telling you not to do it. I believe one must be obedient when time is right but i don't thing it will lead you to happiness.


Life Planning Progress

I am not doing so well with a achieving my victories but for the simple reason that they are long term goals. This means that i can't achieve them quite yet because it takes time. I guess you can say that i am in the right track to reaching those goals because i will be graduating and attending college. To be better i have to keep in mind my goals and remember how badly i want them. I promise to read my goals as often as i can and choose the right to completing my goals.  

Reflection

What i like best about this class was that there was a routine. I knew what was coming next or what to expect for that day. It made me feel comfortable and is was just not surprise. What i disliked about this class was that the quotes Mr. Haymore gave were all similar. I am a big fan of quotes but some of these where just repetitive and it made me sad that i was afraid to disagree with the quote. I really enjoyed this class so i this the only thing i would change would be to add different quotes that make us think and we can put our own opinion. Something i will always remember will be the way Mr. Haymore greeted us with a warm welcome and a big nice smile. It made me feel like he was happy to see us so it would always make my day.

"Obedience sums up our entire duty"
-Hosea Ballou

I don't think it's all about obedience. We have to learn to do more than just follow instructions. Obedience is a great part but i don't think it sums up our entire duty. If some of our greatest inventors would have been  obedient we would have some of the great things we have today.

I love what this quote is saying because it's true, we are the one's that choose how to see things!! We can choose to have a good or bad attitude. We always choose to view things one certain way but it doesn't have to be that way. 
Attitude!!!

This is the way people view life or respond to what ever is throw at them. Everyone has their own attitude but we can be influence by those around us. A good attitude would be someone who see's the bright side of a situation no matter what. A bad attitude would be someone that instead of acting a pond  they simply complain. Similar words would be reaction, viewpoint, and style.
