"We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do." -Richard L. Evans

Reflection: After reading this quote I believe that Evans saying it takes a lot to change our ways, especially ourselves and so he states we need the courage to make change. The courage is strength to do what is right and stop what is wrong. We start the good and it continues and as we do that, it stops what we shouldn't be doing, the wrong thing. 

The Scorpion

            The video told a story of a young boy, Patrick, who got stung by a scorpion. His parents always warned him to wear his shoes and beware of the creatures around the dessert likes snakes and such. But one day as he awoke from the camp, he decided to walk around for a bit. He did not want to go through the hassle of putting on his shoes as he had promised to himself he wouldn't go far from the camp anyways. He decided to put on his flip flops and set off on his walk. He didn't go far until he felt a thorn like prick at the bottom of his foot. Immense pain quickly shot up his leg and he tried to stop it from going any further by applying pressure, he screamed foe his parents and they rushed him to the car. Only problem was, the nearest hospital was two hours away and the entire drive there he felt  like he was dying. He believed it until he got to the hospital and the doctor assured him only malnourished and infants die from the sting of a scorpion. He injected and antibiotic and anesthetic to help with the pain. Patrick learned that day that 1) Flip flops are not shoes, and that 2) Never do the wrong thing. The right thing to do was to listen to his parents and put on his shoes, not flip flops, he the wrong thing and the consequence was painful. This was a very important message to never get lazy to do the right thing as it can affect you one way or another.

"Always do right." 

-Mark Twain

This quote by Mark Twain means that a person must always do whats right no matter what circumstances. People choosing to go with the majority even if its wrong, doesn't make it right. What is wrong is wrong, what is right is right, and one must always choose the right.

When You Tell One Lie It Leads to Another

-Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, Oh brother, 

You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you 

Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you 

Then you tell six lies and you'll collect 

A life filled with worries and fears 

'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told 

And half the things you say aren't true

And sometimes you'll slip up, you'll trip up 

and then 

whatever will become of you?

So you lie without even trying

and each lie you tell will keep multiplying 

'Till the whole world will know 

you're lying 

Then you'll be

Suspected 

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked 

And you should!

When you lie, You're closing the door

 on everything good

"When you tell one lie it leads to another." 

-Paul Hatch

          

Reflection: After reading this quote i think it means that as soon as you tell a lie you cannot stop. You have to keep the lies going to keep up with the other lies and you're in an endless cycle that you cannot escape because you do not want to tell the truth. The lies continue and no one will believe you which is why you shouldn't lie in the first place. Lying is not something you should have to continue and its better you stop before you even say one, it might lead to another.

-Lou Holtz

reflection: After reading this quote I believe that Holtz is asking us these questions because they are questions that reflect who we are or who you want to be no matter who you actually are. It is your actual response and your way of life. I answered yes to all three questions because I do believe I will not fail.
