“Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy”

-         David A. Bednar

Reflection: This statement is very controversial and can be read and felt in different ways throughout many points of view. Obedience cannot be the way to happiness. Many people, who obey, are afraid of the dominating power and only obey because they fear the dominating power. The only happiness that is gained is the happiness the dominating power receives.  Obedience can lead to many things but the word and act itself is manipulated by man into an evil doing leaving the meaning to fade away from the word. Obedience is never good when a evil authority says it is. It never will be.

“Obedience sums up our entire duty”

-Hosea Ballou

Student reflection: Obedience is greater than its interpretation. Obedience is a word of life and morals. Obedience is not our duty, but what to obey is our responsibility. Our duty is on earth is to behave and help the world with positive morals Not mass destruction and war. Sometimes those who you are obeying are the ones who do not own up to their obedience. Not everyone that obeys is good.

Obedience

   The complete definition of obedience according to Miriam Webster and the human population of the internet is “Compliance with an order, request, law or another’s authority” along with being a monastic rule.  The synonyms include compliance, conformity, submission, and subordination.  An example of obedience would be in the scenario of a boss asking you to fulfill a number as tasks and you perform them to the best of your ability.

“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.

Cowardice asks the question "Is it safe?"

Expediency asks the question "Is it politic" 

Vanity asks the question "Is it popular?"

But, conscience asks the question, "Is it right?" 

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, not popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right. 

- Martin Luther King. Jr 

Reflection: Over time, we face questions that challenge us in every aspect. We are put face to face with events that leaves questioning our morality  and our faith. in this quote, I imagine a mind overfilled with questions and obstacles. For example, a reckless teenager about to jump off a truck or something worse, could be thinking its fun but is it safe  while the other side is pushing him to do it. But, overall, the important question is "Is it right?", could it be right, does it feel right? What are we getting ourselves into? We carry courage, honor, dignity,and pride but we never carry whats right.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined”

-         Henry David Theorem

Reflection: We often dream that will succeed. We often dream of land with peace. We often get lost in our dreams that we do not turn those dreams into a reality. It’s like we are in a coma, and it’s hard to wake and to face the reality, the truth. Dreams are our escape and our reason to keep going but we ask ourselves, “Why? Why can’t our dreams come true?” and the truth, is that we either don’t work hard enough, or we are distracted by other realities and responsibilities or our dreams are simply meant to be but it does not mean we aren't meant to be happy. It comes with time.

The answers to these questions will determine your success or failure:

1.        Can people trust me to do what’s right? yes

2.       Am I committed to doing my very best? yes

3.      Do I treat people the way I want to be treated? Yes

“If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail”

-         Lou Holtz

Reflection:  Trust has become just a word over past few years leading trust to slowly die. It seems you cannot trust anyone anymore. But, it’s those who chose to stop their needy and greedy needs to be different who deserves to be trusted. Trusting someone to do what’s right is not only doing what the mass population wants you to do, but doing what helps and what people feel is right within themselves. Of course, you have to be committed! But, even if you are committed, things can happen but the people who keep going and remain committed are the ones who are truly committed. Humanity, a complex subject, we treat others nicely but what others treat us? Of course, some people will always hate you, but I want different even if at times it seems unacceptable. There are other factors that lead to success than just these factors. People tend to view success as how much money you have or how many people you know, but success can be those little things like overcoming drug use, being a cancer survivor, raising 3 kids on your own, or even going from drop out to Harvard graduate.
