One great act of kindness was when this basketball team coach let this disabled kid play on the team. He was all up to losing to let the kid play on the team to make him happy. Not a lot of people like losing, but to the coach it was worth it all. The immense support the coach got was a great thing. Even though they lost to the rival team, they did not let that get in the way and they still felt like they won.

“Kindness is the essence of greatness.”

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Reflection: Being kind is probably a characteristic that goes along with being a person of greatness. There is a lot of dilemmas with what greatness is or what greatness means to people. Being a great person is always being positive, helping others and being the best individual you can be.

“If it is not right do not do it, if it is not true do not say it.”

Marcus Aurelius

Reflection: Loyalty is all when it comes to stuff like this. A lot of people have the tendency to always lie and make up stuff because they think it’s cool. It’s basically like spreading rumors or creating them. I completely agree with this statement because it is the truth.

“It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today.”

James Freeman Clark

I will look into it but I know how much I want to gain and earn when it comes down financially. 

Veterans Day

W. Clement Stone

1. “Have the courage to say no.

2. Have the courage to face the truth

3. Do the right thing because it is right.”

Reflection: Everyone has their own definition and I don’t think it requires for another human to give us their opinion of integrity because at the end of the day we all stick to what we desire of the word. Living in integrity is the way you want to live in and define it. This list I completely disagree with it. I don’t need to have a list tell me how to live the right way or to make me think what the subject specifically means. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion and this is not only ridiculous but irrelevant.

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed”

Proverbs 13:20

Reflection: Making wise choices in life is always very important. Wise choices can help you be a better person in life and help you achieve a lot of things in a positive way. Sometimes people get influenced to do the wrong things but if you’re better than that and wise in that knowledge than you can overcome the temptation and strive for positivity.
