"The Three Don'ts

Don't whine

Don't complain

Don't make excuses"

John Wooden

Reflection: John Wooden was a very smart man with positive and encouraging thoughts. With his "3 Don'ts", people should live an organized life. For example, without whining, you;ll be able to get stuff done in a matter of hours, maybe minutes. You're just making it harder for yourself. Without complaining, you'll be able to encourage yourself to keep on striving. AND most importantly, don't make excuses! Making excuse will only slow you down, you need to try, do your best. John Wooden's quote should encourage people to keep on moving, those three don'ts will only make you fall behind.

If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it."

Marcus Aurelius 

Roman Emperor from 161 AD to 180 AD

Reflection: What this quote means to me is that choosing the right is the best thing to do, especially speaking the truth because it won't get you in trouble. You always have the chance to choose the wrong, but choosing the right will make the situation a million times easier. Lying will get you in many problems in the long run, that's not the right thing to do. For example, if you were to lie to your parents, telling them you're at a friend's house and you're actually at a party, something bad can happen to you and your parents wouldn't know where to find them. Choose the right.
