"A good name is better than anything 

you can achieve in life"

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a public holiday that is held on the anniversary of the end of world war I, observed annually on November 11th, to honor those who fought in the world war and honor all the victims of the war.

It is on November 11th

It is important to show honor on Veterans Day because those people who died that day fought for our country and so we can have what we have today. These people represented us and died for the country that we live in, the least we can do is show honor for them on this day and anytime we can.

Some ways we can show our honor on Veterans Day is to express gratitude when you see a person in uniform, Make thank you cards to Veterans, visit a Veterans hospital, wear a red poppy flower, talk to your family about why we honor Veterans on Veterans Day, Donate, fly a flag correctly, and attend Veterans Day events with your family and friends.

Something special that I've always wanted to do is have a conversation with a Veteran on how it was to serve as a part of this country and how it’s like serving our country. Also I found that Veterans Day replaced Armistice Day in 1954.

I feel like Veterans Day is one of the most important holidays in the united states and it’s been one of the most important holidays for years now. I feel like we should all show our gratitude on Veterans Day to all the Brave Veterans that fought for us and the fallen Veterans. We must show our gratitude to all and show how important they are to this country. In addition to this we should  all do something special for Veterans such as Visit a hospital or right them some thank you cards. Show them what they mean to this country and how they have all of our respect and show how we honor them. To me Veterans Day is very important because of how highly and how much respect i have for all those who serve for our country.

" A good name is rather to be chosen

 than great riches."

Proverbs 22:1

 A good name is important to have, it is important to be a good person because people can tell a lot about a person just by their name. If you have a bad name for yourself then people will know you're not that great of a person. You want to be know as a great person within your life time so people can think of you as a great person within your lifetime and you will be known. You will have a great name if you are a great person. Everyone will hear your name and know that your trustworthy and a great person within yourself. Just life LaVell Edwards, everyone will hear that name and know what he has done and know that he is a great person within yourself. You can judge someone based off of the name that they have and be able to tell whether they are a good person or not based on the name and reputation they have given themselves. This is why it is so imperative to give yourself a good name in your life and be the best person you can be. You don't want people to hear your name and think of bad things about you or what you have done within your lifetime. so always choose the right, the thing that is more than great riches is your own name you create for yourself. A good name is the key to riches within your life. Be a CTR person and you will have a name for yourself.

"If your so called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you 

be the one to make a stand for right , even if you stand alone. Have 

the moral courage yo be a light for others to follow"

-Thomas S. Monson 

Do the right thing because you know that it is the right thing to do, don't chose the wrong and do things you know you shouldn't be doing. Always do what you know is right even if other people are doing something else. Be the light that other people can follow and set an example by doing good things rather than doing something you know is not right. Do not be afraid to stand alone because people are doing something else. Stand up for what you believe is right and do let other influence you. Be your own person and don't let anyone tell you what is right or wrong, you know what is right and wrong, guide yourself an others. Be a guide for people rather than follow the ones who are doing what is wrong. Stand alone for what is right, have that courage to be your own person even if others are trying to tempt you into doing something that is wrong. Do not fall into peer pressure because you're afraid to stand alone.  If someone tempts you into doing something that you know is wrong and you get in trouble, are they really you friends? or are they just trying to get other people to follow and get in trouble. Always do what you know is right because it is the right thing to do !

"Success is not an accident. Success is actually a choice. Are the habits you have

 today on par with the dreams you have of tomorrow."

- Alan Stein

Success can only happen by choice and what you do to makes those goals succeed. The habits you create, and do on a daily basis will reflect your success in what you do within your life. If you create good habits and skills and practice the things you need to in order to become successful you will achieve your goals. If you practice things in order to attain your dreams, they will happen and you will become successful in your life. It's important to work hard towards your goals because success will not just happen because you want it to, you have to make it happen, success does not come by mistake. You have to work hard and try hard to attain your goals because it is so important. You will only become successful in your life when you put in the work to attain success and perform at a higher level. Work hard, achieve your goals, and work on a higher level then anyone else to become the best that you can be. I will be making this changes and habits to become great in my academic studies, I want to have great grades and work on a higher level.

"Obedience is the central to becoming, 

being, and remaining happy"

-David Bednar 

Obedience is very important because it can help you throughout your life and when you do daily things. It can help you become a better person and it can help you become and remain a happy person. Being obedient can not only lead you to success and more freedoms throughout your life, but it can make you a happier person.It is very important to be obedient because your choosing the right and being a better person in your life. Being obedient can keep you out of trouble which will in turn make you happier as a person. You're not in trouble or doing anything bad which will lead you to become happier as person. It is extremely important to be obedient or you'll end up like the basketball player at UNC, disobedient and dismissed from the team. He could've been a great basketball player but instead he chose the wrong and was disobedient leading him to unhappiness. We should all just be obedient.

 

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead

 of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block"

-James E. Faust

Obedience is a very important skill that everyone must learn and utilize everyday of their

 life. Obedience is what you build off of as a person and become a better person within your own 

life. When you're disobedient you're not using the building blocks that you could be using to make yourself successful, instead you are bringing yourself down. Make yourself successful and be obedient because it is very important and it is indeed the latch key to your own success in your life. When you're obedient you use those building blocks to make yourself the best person you possibly can be. To help yourself out and become a better person and learn many new things and skills within your life. Obedience is the basically building blocks in your life and they will help you throughout your life. Rather than stumbling over your own two feet all the time because you chose the wrong. Why make things harder and choose the wrong when you can use the things you do right as building blocks to your own success rather than your downfall.
