" Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow."- Robert Kiyosaki

The statement suggests that we must focus on the present situations in order to shape success if we desire. If we decide to be inactive what will we succeed, success is derived from our present actions, and therefore our future is decided by our present actions. If you were to state that you would become a successful business man, would other individuals not inquire upon your motives and ask you what would you do to become a successful business man? would you provide a thorough explanation? or would you presume you would become a successful business man as if it were predetermined? Therefore the individual who is prepared to provide an explanation is an individual who is actively shaping his life, and the individual who presumes he will succeed is an individual who is inactive with in the process of creating a proper life so therefore he or she has not utter purpose.

"There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know is evil."-Ayn Rand

Thank Ayn rand for this wonderful statement. We must never attempt to justify an unjust action, because the action will always be improper. We all know even though we participate in an improper action we cannot justify the action because it will always be categorized as an improper action and we cannot change that. But what is right or wrong is heavily influenced by the bases of society and the ideas that the society exhibits. The ideas are also heavily influenced by leadership, culture, philosophy, social organization, and financial situations. Therefore society decides what is correct and expects the citizens to embody the ideas, morals, ethics, and values it has imposed upon us. Would you expect the actions of a communist country to be deplorable in the eyes of the capitalist institution and vice versa? Therefore i am unsure there is a definite right, but the closest item that allows us to identify a definite right is our moral compass, which allows us to generate impulses upon our perception such as guilt. I still greatly believe that the moral compass allows us to differentiate what is right and wrong clearly and that an evil action can never be justified.

When you are confused while you are reading, record your issues. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read forward. If not do not be afraid to ask for clarification.

Provide you with clarification that will allow you to understand the material. Learning is developed through the questions asked and constructed by the learner.

Asking questions intended for yourself, instructors, or acquaintances, is a great learning method. When you cease inquiring, you cease to exist to a greater extent. Read actively by silently questioning yourself as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost any activity.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon Once said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension will allow you to gain important knowledge and exerting the potential of your education. So always question.

"When i was teaching basketball. I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make the practice a masterpiece  This rule is even much more important in life than in basketball. You have to apply yourself every single day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each day and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."- John Wooden

This quote is a marvelous example of the dedication that must be exerted in order for an individual to improve. If we expect to improve we must dedicate ourselves and exert effort, if we were to not exert enough effort for a continuous amount of time how can we expect to improve. There are several different aspects that attribute themselves with improvement  but the most important is the amount of dedication and effort an individual exerts.

"Every-time i have done something that does not feel right, it has ended up not being right."-Mario Cuomo(52nd governor of New York.)

There are many consequences involved with a wrong choice. When we participate in action that is not correct our mental state begins to deteriorate until we resolve our predicament, from a young age we are taught what is correct or what is incorrect, that is when we begin to perceive the world as two halves, the correct halve, and the incorrect halve. When we are deciding whether or not to participate with in an action we categorize our choices, some individuals will immediately decide to participate in the incorrect action, but some might not be aware of the severe consequences that will proceed, once they have been punished do they realize they had done something incorrect. The mental instability associated with wrong actions or choices is known as guilt.

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/boost-your-skills /8454.html

In order to succeed in High-school or in university, you must always maximize your effort. But sometimes it is difficult to preserve your motivation, even when you are aware about the importance of your academic success. Here are five methods that can be implemented in order to preserve motivation:

1.   Focus on important activity

The key toward academic success is your ability to focus on your work. Construct a list in order to be able to organize yourself. Then, formulate a plan. Although it is tempting to work on the simplest assignments first, but the assignments that consume the most time are probably the most beneficial.

In order to deter mine your priorities, rank your assignments

In the classification method of importance. Then arrange your time and devote more energy toward the assignments that impact your grade and your work. For example even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam is a much higher priority than transcribing a paragraph for your English class. As you complete each task compare each task toward a step that will allow you to succeed

2.   Create new challenges

Altering your approach can allow you to preserve your interest in you assignment. If you are given an assignment similar to one in the past, alter your perspective about the assignment. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, attempt writing a poem. For book reports, select a History book, instead of another biography.

"Courage is being scared of death, but saddling up anyway."-John Wayne

Mr. John Wayne is expressing the importance of courage with in an individual's life. Courage is a quality that is constructed through the formation of your ideals. Courage strongly influences the manner in which individuals view you, if you were to lack courage individuals will view you as a coward, if you were to value and exhibit courage, people would view you as a courageous individual. But the importance of courage is the manifestation of courage within your life and the situations involved with courage, if a person was drowning, would you care whether or not you were adequate enough to save the person? Would you jump into the water and rescue the person or would you allow the person to drown?  I know i would jump into the water and assist the person regardless of my swimming ability.

"You have only to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you will enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience."-Robert E. Lee
I believe this statement represents the responsibility of an individual. In all sense we must abide by the rules and what is correct. In Mr. Lee's case what is right was determined by his society and the means of production and the distribution of wealth, and the ideals upheld within the aristocrats or commoners. When we participate within the decision making process do we allow our emotions interfere, even when our emotions lead us astray? Or do we allow our rational thinking to stimulate our decision? Or do we implement both? When we commit a morally correct action, do we participate with in the action because it has been deemed right by our society? Or do we commit an action in order to embody ourselves with in the morals of society? You might say " I donate money because society had told me it was the correct thing to do." But do you simply abide by the moral conduct? Or do you embody the moral conduct fully with a positive intent?
These are the questions we must ask ourselves in order to successfully construct an approving conscience within the changing ideals of society.

"Be always sure you are right, then go ahead."-Davy Crockett(1786-1836)

This quote justifies the actions of many individuals who have acted through their own proper definitions of a correct action. Our actions are mostly regulated by our character but our character is composed from several components such as perception, ideals, morals, and emotions. In many situations we may feel as if we are participating with in a correct action, but once we commit the action we realize our wrong doing. And we must ask ourselves can i justify my actions? We must also differentiate the source of our action was the action stimulated by emotion or reason. On many occasions we would conclude that the action was governed by our emotions, but tiny percentile of the time our actions will be governed by reason, i believe that the most justifiable source is reason, imagine when we talk to a crowd and i ask what is 2+2? The crowd would immediately answer 4, this is my justification, even though emotions across individuals are diverse, but  2+2 will always remain  four, but if we have a powerful moral sense and we can justify our actions we can proceed.

"When you believe you can-you can."-Dr. Maxwell Maltz

I believe human derives success from both internal and external motivations, but without a proper goal or objective we cannot exert the determination to succeed, but a motivation is a stimulus that allows us to envision and create our goals. Our internal motivations will decide whether we succeed or we do not, in order for us to be motivated by the external world, we first must be motivated internally. Without a motivation how could you expect a goal to be manifested?, and therefore how can you expect other individuals to support your goal and expect certain actions from you?. But you also must expect success from yourself in order to succeed, expectation is one of the most powerful stimuli that allows an individual to succeed.

"You must live within the present in order to secure your future."-Reverend Robert Craig
I absolutely support the statement. If we were to not participate in any beneficial activity at the current moment we would not be able to secure any amount of success. The usage of temporal reference allows us to picture the present moment and ask ourselves,What action am i conducting that will benefit me? If we were not able to adapt to our present situation, that would mean we are "living in the past" here we perceive adaptation as a fundamental ability that when applied to a certain situation can allow us to succeed. If we were to live in what is referenced as the "future" we would suddenly preoccupy ourselves with events that have not even occurred so how can we be certain, these events are truthful.

                            Reflection

I am outraged by the large number of atheletes that have used illegal substances. I believe atheletes use illegal substance due to their lack of ability or their lack of confidence. My opinion upon every form of cheating is "a person who cheats either lacks the ability or confidence and therefore expresses incapability and poor judgment." Why would he use illegal substances, all a person must do is train intensly and better themselves, an individual can nevre justify cheating, but he can exhibit incapability. Why would any individual consider such a deplorable action, i am horrified that the atheletes who utilize performance enhancers are atheletes who are idolized.

You may want to participate with in a class that your high-school does not offer. Under several circumstances you can enroll in the class through distance learning.

Distance education is a method in which you participate in a class without actually being present where it is taught. Internet-based technology allows you to participate in lessons and class sessions from almost anywhere.

Some High-Schools agree to recognize distance learning credits when the school does not possess the resources required to distribute the course. Distance education is often utilized to increase options in rural areas and increase the selection of AP® courses.

You might have to participate in a self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is being held one thousand miles away, along with other High-School students. Converse with your school counselor in order to widen your selection.

"You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it right." Rosa Parks
I agree with this statement, we as individuals must never fear an activity that is a correct activity that benefits yourself and/or others. The fear we experience when you are commiting an unjust action is overwhelming, the feeling subsides and manifests as guilt, leading to anxiety and a combination of other emotions. Rosa Parks was an african american activist who fought for the civil rights of african american individuals, i believe she never feared the authorities because she knew she was serving a just cause. We are taught to never commit an unjust action, but when we do we begin to experience fear due to the complications that will arise from the problem.

Summary and reflection: The olympic performer's rise and fall

                             Summary

Olympic track and field star Marion Jones won 5 medals during the 2000 olympic games. The reputation that Marion had constructed was demolished in 2007 when she was standing outside of a federal courthouse, after the discovery that she had used performance enhancers during her olympic career, only after Marion have fiercely denied her use of performance enhancers. Marion was sub-sequently stripped of her medals and her freedom when she was sentenced for six months in prison.

                           Reflection

I believe Marion has demolished a reputation that she had obtained through lies and deception. I even question if her reputation was viable at all. She has disrupted atheletic ethics and disgraced the olympic community. One of the aspects that repulses me is her deception, she had denyed the use of performance enhancers to the federal institutions, i believe the action deserves severe punishment. I ask why had she harbored such guilt? How had she felt when she accepted the medals knowing she was accepting the medals through false effort? Marion jones is a disgrace to the olympic community and atheletics.
