Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds...

You can gro flowers, or you can grow weeds...

ANON

I think this quote means that whatever you have on your mind is going to turn reality so, if you are thinking wrong you are going to get bad things, but if you think right you are surely going to get good things. For example; Sometimes you want to finish your homework, but you also want to play videogames, if you have your mind right you are going to finish your homework and have good grades, but if you choose to play videogames you are denfinitely not going to get nothing but bad things out of that decision. 

What's on your mind?

In my mind I have memories, and goals. One of my goals is to become a Dentist and have my own work space. I have too many goals, and to achieve them i have to work hard, and sacrifice lots of things. School is the key to success. Right now i'm not in the right track to achieve my goals but i'm trying to do it.

“The essential thing is not knowledge, but character.”


by Joseph Le Conte

I think this quote means that you don't need to try something to know it is wrong, you just have to have a strong character to keep walking on the good path. If you want to be on the high way, then you have to choose the right, but if you want to be in the low way good luck. Everybody should have a strong character to success in life. For example, when your friends invite you to do something bad you haven't done yet you don't have to do it to know that it is wrong you have to use your character and say NO.

"Adefinite worthy goal, combined with apositive mental attitude(PMA), is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement"

I think this quote means that if you define a goal on your life, every decision you have to take is all about your goal. You have to make sure that your choice is going to help you to achieve your goal. Your attitude is going to help you to reach your goal. Every choice you make is going to be significative on your life, so you have to be careful on your decisions. For example; I want to be a dentist, that's my main goal, in order to become a dentist i have to apply to universities to get my diploma and be one but if i do not apply is going to be a bad choice because i wouldn't be able to graduate from university and have a job.

"Good thoughts bear good fruit. Bad thoughts bear bad fruit."

James Allen

I think this quote means that if you choose the right you are going to enjoy everything that comes with it, but if you choose the wrong even if you get something you like you are not going to enjoy it. If it is wrong, you are going to feel like you don't deserve it. It's better to do what is right to deserve the award.
