James E. Faust

Obedience

“When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block
-James. E Faust


This statement by James Faust is true. It is true because there are things that can get int your way, on achieving something good. An example can be like when you want to pass a class. You first have to pass all the stumbling blocks to get to the building blocks. The stumbling blocks can be like people talking to you, not doing your work, not finishing your homework, etc... Building blocks can be like focusing on your work,turn in work ,doing your homework,turning all assignments on time. These are examples of stumbling blocks and building blocks.

goodness never fails

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails" -Henry David Thoreau What this quote means is that goodness is the only thing that doesn't fail anyone. If you are the type of person that  does good things then you are doing a good job on that. If you are a person that doesn't do any good things then you should start too. Many people do good things because We are in tough times right now and there is a lot going on at the moment. Some of the things that are going on at the moment are school shootings, terrorists and many other things. Some people believe that doing a good thing(act of kindness), there can be a better place if we all did something good.

An example can be like having food to eat, not all people can afford food. Other things related to this are like school, clothes, food, opportunities for things, and many more. When you are whining for something, think of the people that don't have it. They can be whining because they want what you have.They want an education, clothes, food, things to help live.So keep in mind that you have more advantages than other people  and they don't have much to live with. You can also be grateful for family, your friends, people you love. You can be grateful for anything Way 2: Be smart "Train your mind and your...

"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often" -Peter Vidmar This means to never give p your goals for something you want right away. an example of this can be like if you want to be a professional athlete. You have t have goals in order to get to it. You need short term goals in order to get to your long term goal. For me my goal is to be a baseball player and play for the school. In order for me to do that i have to practice a lot, run faster and be ready for anything. These are things that i can do for short term goals. But when it comes to a long term goal you wont be able o accomplish it right away. Another example can be if you want to be good at something you cant just throw it away and do something else instead. If you really want that then you have to prepare for it. You have to set up short term goals to reach. Once you reach them you have to set a long term goal and you have to keep practicing...
