“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. 

Part 2-4 Final

Progress Post

I have more than 200 goals written in my notebook and it’s been quite difficult completing some,   but I am committed and been reading them every day.  Many of my goals are long term and I want to achieve them all.  I want all the people who said I was a loser to see how great I can be and see my success.  I am smarter than what people accept me to be, way brighter than what I seem, and way more different than what people think. I am just me and I will succeed. I will have my own coffee shop. I will be a bestselling author. I will have a nice house and my mom will have a nice house and everything will turn out just fine. My life will be a positive adventure.

• 1.        What did you like the best about this class?
• What I liked about this class was the people I sat next to and the amazing conversations we had. Many of us have a lot in common and have the same experiences. Above all, I made good friends.

“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.

“Obedience… is the primary object of all sound education”

-         Elizabeth Missing Sewell

Reflection: As we grow, enter school and change, we are taught to obey authority and obey what is believed as right. We are taught to be mimics of society and obey every single thing. Of course, we need authority and of course some people either abuse it or act inappropriately to it. But, from what I experienced and have seen, even our own authority that tells us to obey, does not obey the power of the people. I believe that a child should be taught to obey what is sane and right, not what is scripted and corrupt.

“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.

"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.

“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.

“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.

‘Right is right only when entire”

-          Victor Hugo

Student Reflection:  Right, what is right? Do we have the slightest idea of what is right? The whole world always says the “Right” things or to do the right things but have they done the right things? WAR, MONEY, MURDER? All these things all right? Of course not, but who are we to believe? We are the ones to do Right, we are right, just our actions need to be clearer and better.

“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.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.

Talent: will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius: will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education: will not; the world is full of educated derelicts

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”

-         President Calvin Coolidge

Student Reflection: Out of all my beliefs the topic of education has been my main interest. I believe that education is not academics. I believe that education understands the value of things, living, and knowing.  A person can be very bad in mathematics but very skilled in art. A person can be very skilled in mathematics but could do poorly in English Literature a smart individual will keep going no matter how hard the situation gets or how many barriers they have to conquer.

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself”

-Henry Ward Beecher

 

Student Reflection:  We undergo a series of tests. Often to determine who we are. Math tests for example, if you get most of them wrong you either didn't study or don’t understand correctly than, when you receive the text back, a big fat zero. It doesn't matter what people think of you or expect from you, it’s what you expect from yourself and who you hold yourself to be. A test can show how much you know but can’t really see who you are and what you think, it can only give an idea.  Of course, if you passed you must have worked hard or cheated but after your seen at a higher level. You must praise yourself even for the littlest efforts and achievements; you must live up your name, regardless of what you have done. Never look down on your name never blame anyone who what has happened. Instead, change what could be. 

Progress Report

Progress Report

Which goals have I accomplished? The big goal that I have accomplished is not a material thing. It’s not a school academic achievement. It’s not anything at all in others eyes. But to me, it’s a life goal. The biggest goal I have accomplished so far is pulling through all the negative boundaries that I have come face to face with; I accomplished helping my mom out in this dark period of time. I have accomplished coping with my health. I have accomplished walking without feeling sorry for myself. Sadly, it’s often overlooked. In order for someone to reach their goals, they have to be happy and healthy within themselves and I am ready to accomplish more because all I ever wanted was to accomplish what I set myself to be, no matter how difficult and severe times get.

“Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get”

-         Mark Victor Hansen

Student Reflection:  In society, certain people are often rejected and often put down. Sometimes our ideas aren't seen as bright and others seem to be. But reality, we praise “ideas” that are just as blurred as ours when in the media all that is popular is washed up celebrity who parties all the time. This is where goals come into play. People like have goals and have dreams that we wish to achieve and when a goal is set it becomes wrapped in your mind. But, the sad truth, not many achieve their goals or even set them.  Setting a goal is more than setting a goal, its sticking to your goals even if the world see them as unusual and different or even bad.  This goal refers to those who are underdogs, those who pull through the hard work and keep their determination in their goals. “Set and get” emphasizes a strong tone of motivation and helps deliver the message “Keep going no matter how hard it gets”.

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless”

-Mother Teresa

Reflection:  This quote can be written in a thousand words but one must truly understand what it means. “Kind words can be short and easy to speak” expresses that a person can easily say kind words or a kind action, “But their echoes are truly endless” refers to the lasting impressions and positive energies left behind. A kind word or action leaves a torn heart in greatness, but a kind message and no kind action, leaves a heart in pieces.

  Just recently, I have started writing again and making more novels and I plan to start making short films. However, I still feel emotionally trapped due to certain things and I really do want them to go away. My biggest goal is to become a punished author and film maker with my biggest influences being Neil Gaiman, J.K Rowling, Edgar Allan Poe and Tim burton. I want to write fiction, fantasy, horror or speculative fiction and mystery because those happen to be my favorites. However, my biggest goal is to be FREE.
