Philip Riggs' Four Success Tips 1. Work Hard 2. Follow your passions, do things you are interested in doing 3. Dont chase after money 4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you  I agree with these for success tips and think they will reallly benefit anyone that follows them. Many times people go into a profession that will get them a lot of money but that isn't how it should be. Yiu should go into a profession that you love and are willing to do for several years to come. Also, working hard is a big one, it is important ot not be lazy. Laziness wont get you anywhere, working hard is key to success. Also, serving others is beneficial to not only them but you since everything that goes around comes around. Sometimes we forget that and find it hard to be helpful to other people but in the end you will be appreciated for doing such act. Helping others is a big thing in my family, every thanksgiving my family and i go out into the str...

Challenges Teen Face Today 1. Some of the challenges teens face today are peer pressure, depression, academic problems, and bullying.  2. I am not dealing with any problems right now. Due to me not having any I dont deal with anything.  3. Being a ctr person helps guide you in the right direction to make sure you are successful, that helps with everything but depression. Depression can not be dealt with by being a ctr person, you need to get professional help for that.  4. I can help teens overcome their challenges by motivating them to be their best version of themselves and tell them it is okay to need help, especially if it is for an issue like bulllying and depression.  Reflection: I think the greatest needs teens need today is encouragment from their teachers and parents 

"Being a c-t-r person isn't always easy, but it's the best person you can be" - Diana Beltran This quote is very true. It is important to be a ctr person because it will guide you in the right direction. Being a ctr person means doing the right thing, doing your best, is self reliant, is dependable, self discipline themselves, and show initiative. Doing all those things is not easy. Especially when in highschool and there is alot of pressure from your peers. Doingall these things will make you a good person and as much as you do them you will succeed and they will become easier. 

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing" - Theodore Roosevelt This quote is kinda obvious. It is something that everyone knows, it isnt like someone has to make a decision and purposely does the wrong thing. However they will do that if they WANT a bad reputation but even then it is not usually done. This quote is easier said than done because sometimes our only choices are good things since we are on the right path. If you have to good options in front of you how do you choose the best option? What if you choose one option and doesnt lead us in the right way? There are many times in which your decision does not matter becaue you get what you get but if you do make the wrong decision you will learn from your mistakes for next time. 

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong" - Wilford Woodruff This quote is being said by an American religious leader. He was an inspiration to everyone, always spoke the truth. This quote, I believe is very true. I think it is true because when you choose the wrong you will never get rewarded for it, and if you do you won't get something good out of it. Many times you don't get a reward for doing something bad, you usually get punished. When you do the right thing, however, you will be rewarded in a good way. You will either recieve your reward then in that moment or later on in life, becausein life everything you give will come back to you. Overall, this quote is very true. It is something i always think about when put into a difficult situation. It is easy to choose the wrong but it is even better to choose the right because nothing good will come out of choosing the wrong but something good will always come out of doing good.

"Its a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time" - Pam Knox I agree with this quote, it is really important to always do what is right. When doing the right thing, it doesnt necessarily mean to do a glorious and award winning thing. Doing the right thing is all about being conscious of your actions and doing the right thing without expecting anything in return. For example, the video of the softball players. They did not expect anything in return, they did not expect to win the game, they did not expect any prize for their actiosn. They helped out a person because it was the right hting. They did not have to, they could have left her there at first base and just waited for her to either be replaced or to slowly and painfully get to home plate for the full homerun. Instead of leaving her there, they did what was right. They helped her, they helped a person they had been playing against and could've ruined their chances ...

"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching even far into the ground - there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? NO, never! I'd die first." - Karl G. Maeser I dont really u nderstand this quote because its comparing two things that are nothing alike. Also why would anyone ever give their word never to cross it? This statement doesn't make sense and doesnt even tell us what exactly his words of honor are. I think its good for him that maybe he understnads tis quote, but  dont. Also, I dont think he would keep his word of honor if he admits to trying to escape a prison that he was in their for a crime he had comitted. I dont think this quote nmakes much sense because in order to g...

"A promise must never be broken." - Alexander Hamilton I agree with this quote. I agree with this quote because it is true. This quote is true because i pormise is made to do something for a reason and it should be completed. I thin k making a promise allows someone to trust you and if they break that promise then so will the trust be broken. Making promises is not something to be used lightly, you only promise something when you really mean it and know you qill complete it. Promises are important to everyone and almost everyone has promised something at some point in their life. Breaking a promise can lead to many consequences and can even lead to the relationship with the person you made the promise to be broken.

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails" - Henry David Throeau  I really disagree with this quote for many reasons. I disagree because many people have gotten away with doing crimes for no good reason at all. They disrupted someones life and completely got away with it and are living peacefully and free of punishment. Also, goodness fails sometimes. For example, the most recent shooting that took place. All those people did not deserve to be killed, but they still did. No matter how good they had been, it didn't save them from getting killed. Also, the people that were doing absolutely nothing and got killed by police because they looked 'supicious'. This quote didn't apply to them and these issues wont be changed until there is no longer racism and unstrict laws. The world we live in today has forced this quote to be untrue. So many good peole have been killed for no reason at all in the last couple years and so many bad people have not been puni...
