"Together Everyone Achieves More"

Anon

This quote is saying with teamwork you can achieve. When people around help you is easier to achieve a goal. Together everybody is determined they will reach their goal. Helping each other reach a goal instead of ignoring a persons goal. When you help each other you will have a better chance to achieve more. For example, if your goal is to have straight a's, your friends can help you achieve this. They can help you by helping you study for quizzes and tests. They can motivate you to do better or to not give up.

"Your mind is a garden. 

Your thoughts are the seeds..

You can grow flowers.

Or you can grow weeds."

Anon

This poem is saying you are what you think about. You can grow success. But, you can also grow failure. It all depends on what you think about. If you think about becoming a doctor when you grow up, you will achieve that. But you think about being an alcoholic you will be that your rest of your life. So if you want a bright future start thinking about it now. What you think about is what will be planted and will grow. 

Whats on your mind?

There are many things on my mind. Since the beginning of high school the main thing that has been on my mind is to get straight A's all through my 4 years of high school. Also, to graduate and go to college. Other things that i have on my mind are usually not important. I usually think about what i'm doing for the weekend or other non-important things. Another big thing that is on my mind is the career i want to choose when i grow up, which is becoming a doctor. Helping others be healthy.

  “The essential thing is not knowledge, but character.”


Joseph Le Conte

I think this quote to means that it doesn't matter what knowledge you have, it is your character that truly matters. You could also say that it doesn't matter what knowledge you have of being good, it mainly matters about the good character that is inside of you. I think that character is your personality; it is what helps you be unique. If you have a bad character if when you are rude to other people or don't care about other peoples feelings. That makes me think you are a bad person with no feelings. How you act with a person shows your character too.

"A definite worthy goal, combined with a positive mental attitude (PMA), is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement."

Napoleon Hill

If your mind is thinking about becoming a doctor or something big. It will focus on positives things so you can achieve this goal. But if you are thinking of things that aren't important in life you won't a have worthy goal. Having a good and positive mind can get you somewhere big in life while having a negative mind won't get you nowhere in life.

"We become what we think about."

Earl Nightingale

This quote is saying whatever you want to be in life you can become it if you just think about it everyday. For example, if you want to graduate from high school you can achieve it if you think about it everyday. That will let you know what you have to do to become it. If you want to become nothing in life you will be nothing in life because,  you don't want to choose to do anything in life. If you think about the right and positives things in life you will achieve positive things in life. Dreams can become true in life if thats all you think about that you want to achieve later in life.

When you do something good you get a reward for it. You feel proud of yourself. For example, if you have straight A's you are a good fruit. But you have F's you are a bad fruit.
