“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.

“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. 

ENT Surgeon

Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgeon

Also known as ENTs, otolaryngologists care for patients of all ages who have problems related to these areas of the body. It has the distinction of being the longest practicing branch of medicine in the United States. Otolaryngologists also treat issues related to the head, neck and face and may serve as a patient’s primary care doctor as well.

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,

“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.

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.

‘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.

“That which we persist in doing become easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased”

-         Ralph Waldo Emerson

Student reflection:

 Over time, we develop strategies and ideas to fulfill certain goals or plans. Our hard work makes it possible for our dreams to become doable and easy. It is “not the nature of the thing” which is or could be what you are trying to create, but the fact that every day you try and get a little closer is what brings you closer.

“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.

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.
