“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon:

Self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.”

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Dr. Laura tells us that if you want a reward for doing what right you first must have self-respect for yourself and dignity. Your hear must wonder if you have self- respect, dignity, integrity, and good self-esteem for yourself to reward yourself for doing well. Doing one good thing doesn’t give you the reward it just makes you a good person but if you want to be reward you have to do it multiple times. For example, if I want to get a reward for doing well I first have to be good to myself in order to be good to others.

“I will persist until I succeed.”

Og Mandino

This quote means that he will never stop trying until he succeeds. Og wanted to commit suicide but didn’t because he saw a job opening. He couldn’t get a job and he decided to just try it. With this job he finally succeeded. He is the author of the book “The Greatest Salesman in the World”. Og didn’t stop trying until he knew that he was able to succeed. An example of persisting is when you’re training for the Olympics. When you train you keep on going and going until you know you can succeed it. An example of a person that didn’t stop training for the Olympics and got medals was Matt Biondi. If you practice something over and over again chances are you’re going to do something great and achieve a goal.

“The best way to predict you future is to create it.”

Charles Ketterer

This statement means that life will not create a goal for you must create it yourself. When it’s been created you must follow that path to succeed it. If you want to do many things in life then you have to predict you've done it so it can come true as a goal for you. Your future was not written out for you if you want it to be great then you must first make goals for you to succeed them.

100-Life Planning Goals

100-Life Planning Goals

So far I have only achieved 3 goals in my 100-Life Planning Goals. My goals do sound silly but I still try to achieve them. Like the first goal achieved was to watch Flowers in the attic. I wasn't allowed to read the book because it had been banned but now that it became a movie I watched it. My new goal to this is to read the book. A really big goal I have been trying to achieve is for me to run a mile under 10 minutes. Over winter break I had been practicing every day. At the end of the day I would run under 10 minutes but I didn't really feel I ran it good enough. For my last run of the break I ran my mile in 7 minutes and 33 seconds, this made me feel proud of myself because I wanted to achieve my goal to run under 10 minutes and I did.

“Adversity causes some men to break—others to break records.”

William A. ward

This statement is saying that the difficulty can make some men break out and give up. Though to others it makes them stronger. It could make them break a record because no matter how hard it got for them they kept on trying even harder. Adversity can either break you or make you stronger to do things just better. An example of this statement is when you’re in a race lots of people give up and slow down but for those who had been working hard didn't and broke their very own goal to finish the race no matter hard it got for them.

“Set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.”

Bo Jackson

This statement means that no matter how high your goals are don’t stop trying to get there. Once you get there then you know you’ve tried your hardest.  The higher your goals are the better you’ll succeed.

“The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it- as long as you really believe 100 percent.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger

What Arnold is trying to say is that you can do whatever you want, as long as you set your mind to it. There’s no limit but your mind telling you what to do. Though if you focus on it and give it your all 100% then there’s nothing that can stop on achieving that dream.

“You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.”

Michael Phelps

22 Olympic medals (18 Gold)

Michael is trying to tell us that never say you have a limit on something because you can achieve far and wide on your dreams. Michael didn't have a limit when he was training for the Olympics. For example, the sky is the limit; you can never really reach the sky that’s why it’s the limit. If you never stop dreaming then you won’t have a limit on how much you can go off and dream of.
