" I was trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right." 

-------Dean Smith-------

What this means is that its not always about winning but it is about doing the right thing. For example lets say you have a game for the sport you are in and you want your team to win so for you to make that come true you need to do the right thing and play fair and play right, if you win or lose it doesn't matter because you did the right thing and you tried your best in doing it. People will look up to you at the end because you always do the right thing no matter what and they will say he/she is a wonderful person they are always doing whats right they never get into any trouble and they are always helping people out when they need help.Most people think its always about winning when its not its about doing the right thing, having fun, and doing the best you can.If you do the right thing and lose it doesn't matter because people will be proud of you doing the right thing and not winning. 

                                                        

" It's not about how to achieve your dreams. its about how to lead you life. If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY, the karma ( destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you."

~~~~~~ Dr. Randy Pausch~~~~~  

What this quote is saying is that if you chose the right path to lead your life and not how to achieve your dreams then the karma itself will deal on its own and the dreams will come to you. I think that if you do chose the right path to led your life then good thins will happen to you like you'll have a great future you will have good luck through out every thing you do in life and you will gain great fortune by doing all the things you've been doing and putting your dreams aside and letting them come to you on its own. Like Dr. Randy Pausch said the karma will take care of itself then you shouldn't worry about that and worrying about if your going to have a successful are great things going to come to you etc, all you need to do is chose the right way to led your life and the karma will take care of itself and the dreams will come to you with out you even noticing. After you choose the right way to led your life in then great things will come to you with out you even noticing they are coming your way. 

                                                               

" Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of  educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all the CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation." 

Theodore Roosevelt  

 What this is saying is that when you've done the work for this country you can show others what that work showed you.For example lets say that you do something good for your country and it took you a while for you to accomplish that work, then you finally say you are done with what you've been wanting to accomplish and people ask what what did it take for you to accomplish it or what did the work showed you. You say is it showed me how to educated my body into doing whats right and whats wrong, it taught me how think calmly on what to do and not over think many things when their not that important to over think, but out of all it showed me my character and who i really am and how i really acted it showed me how to gain dignity and how to have respect for others. Also that it is saying that you are giving spiritual and moral training to those who are going to accomplish what you've accomplished and that are going to decide the nation's destiny. You are also showing other people how to help others and be a good person, how to gain character and how to respect others.

" Take responsibility for YOUR OWN body,mind,and spirit, for your own physical,mental, and spiritual well being." 

--Mr. C.S. Haymore--

What this is saying is that you should take responsibility for your body,mind,spirit, physical,mental,and spiritual well being. Like if you don't take responsibility for your body then your body will be a total mess.If you don't take responsibility for your mind then your mind will be on its own and won't be responsible and conscious of what its doing and you'll be doing bad things and things you aren't supposed to be doing. For example lets say its finals week at school you have to study for all these tests you having to take during that week and projects you have to turn in on the week, and you're in a sport or club and you have to study for every test so you can pass the class and then you have to do the projects that are due that same week as well then you need to go practice. All of this is in you mind and if you don't take control of it you'll get stressed out and start feeling anxious This affects you physically and mental because you are stressed out and your mind is in its own place and you don't do anything over it because you aren't taking responsibility for it and then your body starts hurting because of all the things you've been doing to get everything done at once and your body is tired and your not giving it the rest your body needs to function.

" Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education."

--- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. --- 

 What this is saying is that intelligence isn't enough unless you have character in you or within you. It is saying that if you din't have character intelligence isn't the same because character will give you maturity and more responsibilities. Intelligence plus character is the goal of true education because it shows how responsible and what a good person you are. Many people can look up to you and say that you are intelligent but what most mattered to them was the character you had within you because it shows people who you were and that you were a good person. For example you have this big test at the end of the week and you study all week so you can pass the test but you study all night the night before and the rest of the day that day so you can for sure pass it so you don't do your work in your other classes and then you study more at lunch, finally then you have to take the test and your teacher can tell you studied really hard to pass this test so you can pass the class, so you are done and turn it in to your teacher. The next day you see your score and saw if you passed the class or not, it turns out out you passed both but your teacher didn't pass you because you're a great and good student she passed you because she saw that you studied really hard for this test.

" We need the courage to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the courage to STOP what we shouldn't do." 

--Richard L. Evans--

  What this is saying is that if your doing something good the you need to have the courage to continue doing good because it is the right thing to do. If you aren't doing no good you need the courage to stop doing that because that isn't the right thing to do. If you aren't doing anything either good or bad you should start doing good and then continue to keep doing good. For example lets say you always get left with a lot of homework but you procrastinate in doing it and you wait until the day before everything is do or like before you go to sleep that is bad and you should stop doing it, or lets say you always have the habit of studying the day before you have test or quiz that is bad because you don't get any rest and you'll probably forget what you studied for the test. lets say you leave your studying for the day of the test and you try to remember as much as you can before taking the test but you can't because you didn't have enough time to study so therefore you fail the test and don't pass the class. Therefore you need the courage to stop what you shouldn't do and the courage to start and continue what you should do, what is the best for you.

" When you tell one lie, it leads to another." 

-- Paul Hatch--

What this quote is saying that if you lie once that lie will lead to another lie and then another and it keeps going until you say the truth. This is showing that lying is a bad thing because then you get used to it and start using it more often or it just becomes a bad habit that will be hard to be get rid of. For example, this happened to me one time in elementary school i was in 3rd or 4th grade and my friend and I didn't want to be outside for recess and so we went upstairs and went into a work room where we weren't suppose to be because we couldn't be in the hallways because we would disturb other classes. So we heard some one coming and so we went to go and hide so we wouldn't get caught and not get in trouble.We hid but then the teacher came back and saw us and we said a lie so we wouldn't get in trouble, but that teacher took us to the teacher we said sent us to the work room to get something, and then she took us and she told him and we said another lie and another until we decided to tell him the truth and apologize to him. Yes we did get in trouble at the end but we learned that if we kept lying we would've gotten more in trouble.
