“He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

-         A proverb

Personally, in my small time of life, I have seen the people who are believed to be wise vs the ones who are looked down upon and are believed not to be wise have conflict. Many “educated” groups of people are proven to be very malicious and judgmental to other groups of people. Society views these people as wise because they are educated not that all educated people are wise; some educated people lack their wisdom in life. But, the people who smoke weed or think differently, are seen as people who carry no wisdom when personally, I have met some of the most intelligent and very accepting people who are like this. Smoke marijuana and are educated. Yes, some people who smoke are irresponsible or rude but I know people who have wisdom. Who think different and accept everyone regardless of who they become and what they have done. We live life and stand up for what we believe in.  Just because of one thing does not make you wise or just because you are different does not make you wise. Who you walk with and what you carry, what you do vary, but how you act upon shows everything.

They work directly with dentists by following detailed written instructions and using impressions (molds) of the patient's teeth or oral soft tissues to create:

In most cases, an interested individual needs a high school diploma or its equivalent to apply to an accredited dental laboratory technology program. Contact the dental technology program of interest to you for specific requirements and must be accredited by the board.

Salary: The salary of a dental laboratory technician depends primarily upon the skills demonstrated and responsibilities associated with the specific position and the geographic location of employment.

“You can’t hire someone else to do your push-ups for you”

-         Jim Rohn

 

Reflection:  What this quote adheres is the symbolic message of doing it for yourself and not having anyone do it for you as everyone at one point has herd. In life, things you wish to achieve must be done by you and only you. You can receive guidance and help, but in reality no one can do it for you.  Nothing will ever be accomplished if you always make excuses or hire someone else. With that in general, if you don’t build your dreams, another person will hire you to build theirs and that relates to this quote. No one can do anything for you just as no one can die for you.

Integrity

Integrity

 In class, we watched a video about the 16^th president Abraham Lincoln and his temptations with whiskey and tobacco. Along a ride with his coachmen he is asked if he would like to take a drink of whiskey with his coachmen and president Lincoln declined. Later, Lincoln is asked to take a smoke with his coachman and he says yes but tells the coachmen a story of when he was a young boy. Back when he was 9 years old his mother was very ill and would not get well. He stood by his mother’s deathbed as she asked him to promise him to never use whiskey or tobacco. He promised and as he told the coachmen, the coachmen gave him honor for keeping his promise.This relates to many people but with deep disappointment, not many carry or are taught they value of integrity.  Integrity is doing what is right when no one is watching and doing whats right when everyone is watching. It's complete honesty and honor.  It's not what you commit but how you act upon it, its not what you see but how you look at it, and its not how your life is but how you live and change the world,

“A CTR champion is a person who makes a great human out of himself”

-         Noemi Trigueros

Reflection:

 Over time, we change and our attitude’s change. Our character is shaped by events and changes in life we could go from bad to good, from good too bad in a short time. We are influenced by negatives, but mainly no one turns negatives into positives. A person who chooses the right within himself or herself is indeed a champion because they fall and get back up, they admit their faults, but most of all they change the world.
