"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing up for what is right is a true test of moral character."-Margaret Chase Smith

This quote conveys the never ending threat of peer pressure upon the general population. those who allow themselves to succumb to the grasp of improper actions are individuals in need of acceptance, suppose a child is asked by his friends to throw a rock at a stranger, the child proceeds to refuse, the other individuals offer to form a friendship with him if he were to throw the rock, the child contemplates the choices and decides that he would rather be accepted by this group of individuals, so he proceeds to throw the rock. The need for acceptance is one of the stimulants that provokes an individual to commit an action once he or she is pressured by a group of individuals.

 "Tis the set of the sail"
Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916
But to every mind there openeth,
A way, and a way,and away,
A high soul climbs the highway,
And a low soul gropes the way,
and in between on the misty flats,
the rest drift to and flow.
But to everyman there openeth,
a high way and a low,
and every mind decideth,
the way his soul shall go.
One ship sails east,
and abother west,
by the self-same winds that blow,
'tis  is the set of sails,
and not the gales,
that tells the way to go.
Like the winds of the sea are the waves of time,
'Tis the set of the soul.
That determines the goal,

And not the calm or the strife.

“ A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”- Thomas Carlyle

I agree with this statement, without a rudder a ship cannot be propelled this can be compared to a man without a goal, the man cannot propel himself in any direction. The rudder represents navigational stability, a man without goals wanders endlessly through life at a rather slow pace, he has nothing to expect of himself and no motivation that can ensue propulsion. The rudder is an important part of a ship, if a rudder malfunctions the ship cannot propel itself properly, and therefore a man cannot navigate, propel, or compose himself without a goal. A ship without a rudder cannot sustain stability, such as a man without goals cannot maintain stability within his life. Propulsion is ensued through stimulation from the ships power source and the helmsman. A man without goals has been deprived of a purpose and a motivation and therefore cannot complete or formulate goals, he is left wandering desperately through and endless stretch of sea, with no goals to provide buoyancy or navigation.

Extracting the most benefit from a session

Here are some tips to help your group extract the most benefit from a study session:

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you have learned, deepen your understanding of complex subjects, and even acquaint yourself with new individuals.

Remember that a person who is a friend encourages you to exhibit your maximum potential and achieve your goals, one who encourages you to attempt to try a complex and proper activity. If someone tries to corrupt you and attempts to ruin your life, then those are not friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them. Whoever said learning cannot be enjoyable? Learning is enjoyable and enticing when you study with others.

We must then promote action against the imperfection and improve we may need assistance from other individuals, we may ask for their perception of our actions and their opinions on ourselves. We must then begin through improve upon our imperfection, but an important factor in the improvement cycle is our will to improve and the acceptance of the need to improve.
