“Obedience is the test of life”
-         Thomas S. Monson

Reflection:  Obedience goes a long way. Actions go a long way. In today’s society, everyone is for themselves and tension build up which leads to disobedience. In life you face many hardships and tests but the one of the greatest ones is obedience. With temptation, everything becomes real and many act in a negative action. But the greatest test you will ever receive is survival.

"The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have" 
- Boyd K. Packer 


Reflection: This statement is a complete paradox. In my opinion, obedience is not just obeying the law or someone's authority, obedience is the situation in which you comply with your positive morals and shut the negativity out.  Freedom is a word that is greater than someone. BUT, those who you think obey, DON'T.

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”
-         Sophocles
Reflection:

    Success is the case of many failures, with that in mind, I emphasize that many successful stories, were filled with dirt and cheating. Failing with honor is beyond of the greatest things any human can do. Why, because in our human nature, we are filled with greed, corruption and negligence. To win by cheating is a greater lie that to cheat on a test. To lose with honor, shows dignity and shows responsibility.

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.

“Right is right, even if everyone is for it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it”
-William Penn


Reflection: Everyone has their own vision of right. Everyone has their own vision of wrong. We cannot simply agree but launch debate.  In today’s world what is “right” is controlled by society, media or the government. Now, what is right? The government says “It is right for us to start a war for our benefits” but “It’s wrong for another country to start a war for their benefits” the topic is simply contradictory. Our vision of rightness is controlled and babbled by everyone except US. When we as human binges should think for ourselves and not just know what is right but to feel the right embrace in our soul. Those who do not let anyone or interfere in their right believes, are the ones who choose what’s right.
