I would like to become a Chemical Engineer. I believe I do have the qualities for this job. Also it is very interesting and appealing to me. I say this because you never know what you will create and how it can be helpful to others when you create it.

Phillip Riggs’ Four success Tips

1. Work hard
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.
3. Don't chase after money.
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come back to you.

To me, the first statement means never give up and always try. When you try hard enough and work hard enough to get to a goal you will complete it. Working hard is important because it shows you are and you want something. Number two to me means that when you do what you love you will be happy. See if you find what you love and you do it for a living, you'll never really get bored because it's what you love. When you go for things you love to do or are interesting you will be successful. Now. number three to me means that money is a materialistic thing. Would you rather be genualy happy and have love or miserable with all  the money in the world, alone? I would rather be broke and happy than rich and miserable. $Money$ doesn't buy you happiness. Lastly, what that is basically saying is what goes around comes around. Karma is a thing. You do good, you get good back. You do bad, you get bad back. You get what you give and that's final. I therefore think these tips are very helpful and 100% true.

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

Dennis Prager

         This quote means that you shall always treasure how you are are. Good values include good character, and most of all choosing whats right. I believe this quote is true. One will get criticised based on how they are and how they are includes their values. If you have good values, you are a ctr person. An example of a good value is when you didn't study and its so easy to cheat, but your good value tells you thats not right and you don't do it. Having good values opens up doors. They open up doors because you are showing amazing character. You are showing that you are loyal, keep your word of honor, a CTR person, and respectful as well as self respect.  Using or having good values will always lead one to doing what is right.This is a very important quote because good values are a must for a successful living.  Now, if you choose to have bad values, values that are not good you will affect yourself. Bad values will backfire and you will be seen as a CTW person instead of a CTR one. 

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Theodore Roosevelt

I agree with this quote by Theodore Roosevelt, because it is 100% truth full. Choosing/ doing what's right is never going to go wrong. Doing so is a win win, for everyone involved. When you choose the right, or to do the right thing you are showing you are a person with great character and self respect. Everyone makes choices on the daily, but not everyone makes the right ones but those who do, are more successful. An example of making the right decision is say you are shopping and you find a phone. You can make three choices 1. Take it, 2. Leave it, 3. Take it and return it. You mustn choose the right one because you don't know what type of information a cell phone contains, how important it is to someone, and you must do what's right because it right. Number 1 is simply just not right because it doesn't belong to you. Choice number 2 is not so good because someone else can come take it but there's a 50% chance they won't give it to the owner and 50% chance they will. Ans number 3 is totally the right one. Always do what's right no matter what because it important. You get what you give.

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

Wilford Woodruff

I agree with this quote because it is true. When you choose the wrong no one learns anything. To begin with, You already know it’s wrong so when you do it you don’t learn it was bad because you knew that from the start. A perfect example of choosing the wrong and not learning is cheating. Everyone knows that cheating is bad, and when you do it you don’t learn anything because you won’t be able to improve yourself when doing so. Cheating is the perfect example also because you don't affect no one but yourself. You don't get to learn and grow as a person. Although it may seem like the easy way out but it is CTW. CTW is never right. If you choose to do the right then you will grow, you will improve yourself and become a much better person. You don’t gain nothing from doing what's wrong, simply because it’s wrong and you must’n known it was wrong from the start. Doing will get you nowhere in like, unlike choosing the right. Choosing the right will open new doors for you and help you grow.

"It's a GREAT MOMENT when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time." 

Pam Knox

              I agree with this quote by Pam Knox. I think this is right because one should always do the right thing at the right time. If one chooses to do this, because indeed it is correct they will show their value and that they are CTR people. If you choose to do right things at the right moment you won't be CTW, if you choose to do opposite than that though, you will be CTW. An example of doing something at the right time is say you go out and spot someone being robbed. Then you have the perfect time to stop it and you do so you are being CTR and showing your good character. Now, say you just let it happened in front of your face and didn't do nothing, that is CTW and you are showing how selfish you are and how you have no good character.  Being Ctr will never go wrong and there is never bad timing to do so. 

“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in  some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I'd die first.”

Karl G. Maeser

What this quote means is that word of honor is saying you will or will not do something and keeping it. I'd like to think of it as a promise. When you give your word of honor you are promising to do as you say. You are saying you won't break it and you will achieve what you said you would. An example of giving your word of honor is telling your mom you will do something and THEN YOU DO-DO IT. If you break it your word of honor won't mean anything but if you keep it, you will be valued. A word of honor is important because if you don't have one, or you break things you say you will do constantly, and give your word for it; then no one will take you seriously. People will see you as nothing but a liar. Now if you do opposite than that you will show your good character and that you are a CTR person. Keeping your word of honor is very important. Having a word of honor is valuable and not having one will suck.
