" My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy, you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they're popular . You make them because they are right . "

-Theodore Hesburgh

Reflection : 

I think that what this statement is trying to say to us is that you should be free to make your own decisions not just follow what others are doing to try and fit in with really dumb ideas be yourself and make good choices based on what you think is correct not your friends or anyone else just you . If it's not right there's no reason to do it.

 "I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true . I must stand with anybody that stands right , and stand with him while he is right , and part with him when he goes wrong. " 

- Abraham Lincoln 

Reflection : 

I think that what this quote is trying to say to us is that we should surround ourselves with positive people and when they are feeling like there isn't nothing to live for anymore we should be there motivation because at some point they held us up from falling and we would just be returning the favor back to them . Sometimes in life positive people will fall down but you have to remember that nothing so bright last forever and maybe that's as far all someone will ever get. You can have the change to stand tall but only if someone is standing taller than you leading you the way.

April Fool's Day

April Fool's Day

April the first stands mark'd by custom's rules, A day for being, and for making fools: — But, pray, what custom, or what rule supplies .The origins of April fool's day  are obscure. The most commonly cited theory holds that it dates from about 1582, the year France adopted the Gregorian calendar, which shifted the observance of New Year's Day from the end of March (around the time of the to the first of January. April Fools' Day, also called All Fools' Day, is celebrated every April 1st in the United States. While it is not officially recognized as a holiday, many celebrate by pranking, or pulling practical jokes on, their colleagues or by organizing larger-scale hoaxes. As

April Fools' is celebrated in different ways throughout the world, it is unknown exactly how the tradition originated. Some cultures saw it as the first day of spring, celebrating with general merriment and feasting, and certain calendars may consider it the first day of the year. One theory for the terming of an April Fool was that some refused to follow these calendars that recognized April 1st as the first day of the year, which resulted in being called an April Fool.While Americans will typically shout, "April Fools!" after pulling off a prank, Europeans sometimes refer to the holiday as "April Fish," as many observers will tack a paper fish to another's back and yell "April Fish!" However, the individual pranked is still referred to as the "Fool." Fish are often featured on European April Fools' Day cards. Traditional pranking often stops at midday in the United Kingdom, and if one pranks after this time, they themselves become the fool. The origins of this custom are somewhat uncertain, but may have initially been related to the arrival of Spring in late March, at which time Mother Nature is said to "fool" the human race with sudden and fickle changes in the weather...showers one minute and sunshine the next. The playing of practical jokes, however, dates back to Ancient Rome and such activities were an integral part of the Hilaria celebrations held on March 25, a celebration which would again appear to be associated with the coming of Spring and the Vernal Equinox, held to honor the resurrection of Attis, Roman God of Vegetation who was linked to the seasonal cycle. In England, an ancient legend states that April Fool's Day commemorates the fruitless mission of the Rook (or European Crow) which was sent out in search of land from Noah's flood-encircled ark.

" Character is higher than intellect . "

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection : 

I think that what this quote is trying to say to us is that , nothing is more important than intellect , if you have character you will be able to achieve more things is life because you have something to be able to base them on , you are maybe strong enough to handle things that others cant maybe you'll get further ahead than others if you put effort or maybe you'll be someone greater just by the fact that you have character so what's the whole point of having intellect if you don't have character. Base your goals on something that will stay there not something that's not here to stay.
