Chinese Proverbs

         BEAUTIFUL CHARACTER

“IF THERE IS BEAUTY IN CHARACTER,

THERE WILL BE HARMONY IN THE HOME,

IF THERE IS HARMONY IN THE HOME,

THERE WILL BE ORDER IN THE NATION.

IF THERE IS ORDER IN THE NATION,

THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE WORLD.

 CONCLUSION;

        IF THERE IS BEAUTY IN CHARACTER,

                                               THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE WORLD

THIS QUOTE MEANS THAT IF EVERYONE WOULD JUST GET ALONG, THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE. LIKE IN THE SONG IMAGINE BY JOHN LENNON, HE TALKS ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WOULD BE IF WE ALL GOT ALONG, THERE WAS NO FIGHTS, EVERYTHING WOULD BE GOOD. THIS QUOTE SAYS EXACTLY THE SAME THING BUT STARTING SINCE THE ‘HOME’. IF EVERYTHING IS GOOD AT HOME AND THEY HAVE TAUGHT YOU WELL AND MADE YOU HAVE GOOD CHARACTER THAN YOU WILL HELP MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE. IMAGINE PEACE WITH EVERYONE, NO WARS NO PROBLEMS, NO NOTHING BUT GOOD VIBES. THIS WOULD BE THE BEST BUT AS TIME GOES BY EVERYONE GROWS UP WITH DIFFERENT CUSTOMS AT HOME AND THINK DIFFERENTLY. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE THIS LIFE A BETTER PLACE. IF ONLY EVERYONE CHOSE THE RIGHT.

Challenges Teens Face

  CHALLENGES TEENS FACE

1. HEARTBREAKS
2. PEER PRESSURE
3. STUDY PRESSURE
4. CONSTANT NEED TO LOOK GOOD
5. UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE FUTURE
6. DEPRESSION
7. EATING DISORDERS
8. NOT SECURE ABOUT THEMSELVES
9. DRINKING AND SMOKING
10. CONSTANT PRESSURE ON HAVING TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

I AM CURRENTLY DEALING WITH A HEARTBREAK AND I AM GETTING OVER IT SLOWLY BY NOT FOCUSING ON WHAT HAPPENED BUT ON WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT. BEING A CTR PERSON HELPS ME BY HAVING PRIORITIES AND MOVING ON. I CAN HELP OTHER TEENS BY GIVING THEM ADVICE ON LETTING GO OR ABOUT HOW, JUST CAUSE YOU HAD ONE BAD DAY DOES NOT MEAN YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS BAD.

Sophocles

“I WOULD PREFER TO FAIL WITH HONOR THAN WIN BY CHEATING.”

SOPHOCLES

THIS MEANS THAT IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU LOSE WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU DIDN’T CHEAT TO WIN. NOT CHEATING SHOWS YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER AND YOU’LL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE YOURSELF BETTER. CHEATING CAN HELP YOU WIN A RACE OR HELP YOU PASS A TEST, BUT NOTHING FEELS BETTER THAN WHEN YOU WIN SOMETHING BY YOURSELF. I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO CHEAT ON A TEST AND PASS IT WITH A GOOD SCORE. ONCE YOU GET BACK YOUR SCORE YOU WON’T BE AS HAPPY AS IF YOU WOULD’VE GOTTEN IT BY STUDYING HARD AND DOING YOUR BEST. HAVING HONOR IN EVERYTHING YOU DO MATTERS AND IF YOU DON’T HAVE HONOR ON WHAT YOU DO BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU DID SOMETHING BAD THEN DON’T DO IT. IT’S BETTER TO DO SOMETHING THE RIGHT WAY BECAUSE YOU’LL HAVE A GOOD CONSCIOUS. NOT LIVING IN PEACE KILLS YOU. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AT ALL TIMES.

Eating Disorders

                EATING DISORDERS

PEOPLE WITH EATING DISORDERS DECIDE TO LIVE LIKE THIS. THIS IS A CHOICE OF LIFESTYLE. NOBODY IS BORN WITH IT. THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF EATING DISORDERS AND EACH ONE CAN KILL YOU. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR ANOREXIC YOU GET LOW BLOOD PRESSURE, BRAIN DAMAGE, AND DAMAGE TO THE FUNCTION OF THE HEART.

THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE DIE FROM IT AND MIGHT HAVE IT WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT. TO HELP STOP THIS WE SHOULD EDUCATE OURSELVES, TALK ABOUT IT IN HEALTH CLASS OR TAKE ACTION AND STOP ANYTHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT OR BODY SHAPE. WE CAN MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE. WE HAVE TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT.  

          

Barbara A. Lewis

EIGHT GREAT REASONS TO TELL THE TRUTH

      BARBARA A. LEWIS

1. TELLING THE TRUTH LET’S EVERYONE KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. THERE’S LESS CHANCE OF MISUNDERSTANDING, CONFUSION, OR CONFLICT.
2. TELLING THE TRUTH PROTECTS INNOCENT PEOPLE FROM BEING BLAMED OR PUNISHED.
3. TELLING THE TRUTH PROTECTS EVERYONE TO LEARN FROM WHAT HAPPENED.
4. YOU USUALLY GET INTO LESS TROUBLE FOR TELLING THE OTHER THAN FOR LYING (AND GETTING CAUGHT).
5. OTHER PEOPLE TRUST YOU MORE WHEN YOU TELL THE TRUTH.
6. YOU DON’T HAVE TO TELL AND REMEMBER MORE LIES TO KEEP YOUR STORY STRAIGHT.
7. YOU GAIN A REPUTATION FOR BEING TRUTHFUL - A TRAIT MOST PEOPLE VALUE.
8. TELLING THE TRUTH HELPS YOU TO FEEL SECURE AND PEACEFUL INSIDE.

REFLECTION: I AGREE WITH BARBARA BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS TRUE. TELLING THE TRUTH IS JUST BETTER IN SO MANY WAYS AND I DON’T KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE JUST DON’T SAY IT. ALTHOUGH, SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO TELL THE TRUTH IT IS ALWAYS THE BEST THING TO DO. CHOOSE THE RIGHT. IT’S A GREAT MOTTO. SINCE I STARTED FOLLOWING THIS MOTTO I HAVE BEEN BETTER AND HAPPIER BECAUSE I HAVE A GOOD CONSCIOUS. HAVING A BAD ONE CAUSES MANY THINGS LIKE STRESS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART ATTACKS, LOSS IN SLEEP, AGE FASTER AND EVEN GIVE YOU GRAY HAIRS. TELLING THE TRUTH HAS SO MANY GOOD ADVANTAGES AND I THINK THAT CHOOSING THE RIGHT IS ONE WAY OR STEP TO TELLING THE TRUTH AT ALL TIMES.
