“  The best recreation is to do good.”
                              -         William Penn

I think that this quote means that, if you want to be a better person (or recreate yourself) you must do what is right in order to obtain happiness. You must choose the right and be a good person.

            Counseling/Psychotherapy

 Reflection: I would not like to become one because it doesn't seem like an interesting job. If I would I think that I wouldn't be able to help very much if I worked as a psychiatrist.

“Right is right even if everyone is against it, wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it.”

William Penn 

I think that this quote means that, even if everyone is doing something wrong, it doesn't make it right. It will continue wrong no matter how many people do it. On the other hand, if you’re doing something right, even if no one like it, it will continue right.

“Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you                                                  want most and see it often.”                                 

                                   

Peter Vidmar

                    

I think that this quote means that, if you want something the most, you can’t just sacrifice it for what you want at the moment, you can just have your mind set to reach your long term goal and the other goals can wait.

                            A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.

        

 -         Proverbs 22:1

I think this quote means that, it is better to have a good name (a good reputation) than to have all the riches in the world and have a bad one. Even if you are very rich and you think that you have a good name just because of that, you honestly don't, all you have is money and a bad personality

           “A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life.”

-         Mike Krzyzewski

I think what Coach K is trying to say is that, even if you have the best title in the world, it is better to have a good reputation. Even if you have a good title and a good job and everything, if you have a bad reputation (a bad name), you will not be good within your heart.  Being good is what matters most.

                                                
                         Columbus Day

On this day, the second Monday of October, was when Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas. This holiday causes major controversy because of the European settlements in the Americas. It is often discussed that Christopher Columbus is not the true founder, in reality some people think that some Vikings form Scandinavia were the discoverers. All evidence leads towards that conclusion.

Reflection: In my opinion, I believe that the Vikings were indeed the true founders of the Americas. If all of the evidence leads to that, then I don’t think there is the need to discuss about it

     "Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get."      

Mark Victor Hansen

 I think that this quote means that , whatever you want to to do you should try to do it because there is a reason why you set that goal because you want to accomplish it. If you set your mind to do something, you should try to accomplish it even though other people think you might not be able to do it.
