SSS #77

"A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession."

- Hippocrates

Reflection: One sometimes doesn't really think about their health. Having good health can actually lead to a happier life. I know now that I am losing weight I find happiness much easier because I am becoming positive and happy with the way I look. Physical health contributes to mental health which then contributes to success. Seeing the success coming keeps people striving to stay healthy both physically and mentally. 

SSS #75

"Act well your part; there all honor lies."

- Alexander Pope

Reflection: One should act the way one needs to act with others. They should act kind and caring to others even if they are mistreated and honor is created that way because one has the courage to act like that with someone even though one is being treated poorly. It gives strength and courage when one acts appropriately all the time.

SSS #73

"Attitude is the mind's paintbrush. It can color any situation."

- Anonymous

Reflection: It really is. Many times the whole outcome of the situation can be simply based on attitude. Many times have I been in a situation in which my attitude has helped me succeed and live a better life. It allows to have a open mind and thinking positively helps with positive results.

I would not like to be a Dental technician because they do not earn the amount of money that I would like to earn per year.

Integrity

Many people believe promises shall only be kept so long as the person is there with them. Abraham Lincoln made a promise to his mother that he would never smoke and drink whiskey because is mother was ill from doing so. When he went on a trip with a colonel, the colonel asked him if he would drink with him and smoke with him. Lincoln said no because he knew that he had made a promise to his mother and wasn't planning on breaking that promise anytime soon.

SSS #68

"Manners maketh man."

- William of Wykeham

Reflection: Many people think that men are tough and what not. There are a lot of criminals and gangs that believe that acting tough and violent show how much of a man one can be. They do not understand that a real man is one that respects another person even if he disrespects him. A man treats everyone with respects as well as himself.

SSS #61

"Right is right only when entire."

- Victor Hugo

Reflection: You can not say what you do is right if there is an expected compensation for it. Such as if someone helps out someone with money to be nice only to be repaid with interest. Or like if someone plays basketball for a small team and to be paid for his work. One thing I do consider right is how Kobe Bryant took a pay cut to continue to play for the Lakers franchise.

SSS #60

"That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do. Not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection: One of my favorite trumpet players is named Arturo Sandoval. He has won many Grammy's for his amazing talent. He has been playing since he was 13 and made the Cuban All-Nation Band when he was only 16 years old. He said that he would practice night and day because he loved practice and the instrument itself. He still gets compliments on YouTube today on his videos and he replies by thanking everyone and giving him the motivation to continue to practice even though he is known as one of the best if not the best trumpet player currently.

SSS #59

"Your worth consists of what you are and not in what you have."

- Thomas Edison

Reflection: I completely have to agree with the words of Mr. Edison. People nowadays have a net worth set by Forbes magazine. But I cannot agree with the worth that a magazine sets for someone. Material items cannot determine the kind of person I am, but it is the way I act and treat others that determine my worth. Being an actor that makes substantial amounts of money would never be, in my eyes, worth more than a person that devotes themselves to the well being of others.

SSS #56

"I will persist until I succeed"

- OG Mandino

Reflection: Whenever I see that I mess up in a song, I practice solely that part of the song. I practice and practice and practice until I I get it right and I know once I get that piece right the song in its entirety sounds so much better. When I practice my shots in basketball, I do not finish practicing unless I have made 10 free throw in a row. I miss just one then I start all over from zero.

Course length varies, but for the school to be recognized by the American Academy of Cardiac Perfusionists, the curriculum must include the supervised performance of 150 procedures to include 20 pediatric and infant cases.

I would like to become a perfusionist but sadly I do not have a strong background in biology or chemistry.

SSS #55

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistance. Talent will not; nothing is more common then unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistance and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

- Calvin Coolidge

Reflection: Examples are posted up everywhere. Many of my older friends are extremely talents musicians and singer but they have not hit fame. Many people are intelligent such as the Dennis Ritchie, who created C, the programming language but he was never a big name to the common person. There are also many smart students in HPIAM but they never put their best foot forward in an attempt to succeed in life.

Dennis Ritchie

SSS #54

"Persistance can change failure into extraordinary achievement."

- Matt Biondi

Reflection: Michael Jordan didn't make his high school basketball team when he was is high school. He knew that he had to practice more and more because he wasn't going to make the team in the future unless he practiced. Practice and persistance are key into creating success.

            Medical school usually includes two years of additional study in both basic and clinical sciences and is followed by a year-long hospital internship. Those physicians who choose to specialize must then undertake a three-year residency in their specialty.

I may like to be one because surgery is beginning to interest me and having knowledge of all branches of medicine would be interesting as well.

SSS #53

1. Can people trust me to do what's right?

- Yes people trust me to do what is right because I show to people that I am a person that is very trustworthy and loyal.

2. Am I committed to doing my very best?

- Yes when I try to do anything I like I always give it my all. When I set an impression I tend to go beyond what I am required to do.

3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

- Many times I do. Sometimes I feel bad when I do something bad to something and end up avoiding doing so in the future because I does not make me feel any better than the person I did it to.

Optometrist

They must also attend an Optometry school which takes 4 years. After obtaining the degree of Doctor of Optometry, they must pass state exams before beginning their practice.

I would like to be an Optometrist because it does not seem like a very demanding job for the amount of money you can receive annually and I believe eyes are interesting to work with.

SSS #53

"Never look to the ground for your next step. Greatness belongs to those who look to the horizon."

- Bud Greenspan

Reflection: To be positive looking towards the ground give you something you can acheive instantly because its something that is under you. When you look to the horizon you find an expanse of many things you can acheive. But there will always be the sun (a goal) which you will never reach.

SSS #52

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundeness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity then the body is healthy and strong."

- John F. Kennedy

Reflection: Kobe Bryant would not be able to be the great and amazing player he is today if he did not take care of his body. He exercises everyday to help him maintain his shape. He wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to be one of the greatest players to have ever lived and become so intelligent of the game if he didn't spend so much time into his body. It keeps his mind at ease and his hard work in fitness pays off in the court when he reads the defense and is able to determine which is the best spot to take a shot from or if he should pass the ball.
