“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”.

-Thomas Carlyle

A rudder is located in a ship. A rudder is responsible of guiding the boat to a certain destination or location. In this quote the rudder is represented as a goal, and the man is represented as the ship. What this quote is influencing is, a goal you have is what will make you move and determined to reach that goal. As in representation in a ship, the rudder is what will get the ship to the destination or location the one behind the wheel determine to set sea in. A goal is the main concept in this quote. A goal can mean something much more than a goal. A goal is a way to continue and strive in life so we can accomplish more. Without a goal, there is no movement or desire to get to a certain reach. An individual with no goals in life will not move and not reach a certain life they desire. Only the idea of having goals set in mind will encourage you to accomplish them, without it there are no movement to ensure life.

An example that can follow up this quote is your own self. Yourself is the only person that can make yourself improve or do nothing. Yourself is your remote to your buttons. An individual themselves can only determine if they desire to accomplish something. A goal is not just a goal, but it is a personal development we make for our own selves. A goal is our way to set something so we can grow or get to a certainty. Without goals we wouldn’t learn from our mistakes and learn from them. Goals are in our everyday lives, it the decisions we make that change everything.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day Weekend

This 3 day weekend was too short and it was too fast. During this memorial weekend I kept my mind set to honor those who fought for our country. I went out to shop for a small flag and I planted it in my front yard. As well, I looked over to my pictures when I went to Washington and remembered those moments. During the weekend I prepared myself for this monday. I went grocery shopping and we did some family relating things. The memorial day monday was just a day for ourselves to remember those who fought for our country as well as seclude any problems we have currently in our lives. Besides the actual memorial day monday i hanged out with some friends on the saturday night. As usual during a weekend I did my homework. At the moment I still am working on some homework, I been working on an essay and mentally prepare myself for my upcoming finals. Finals may not be a big deal at the moment, but it still gives me the temptation to do good, because it still counts toward my grade. Besides that, I didn’t do so much interaction on this weekend. I was rarely going out this weekend and just stayed home to do chores or prep for the actual Memorial Day. It was a weekend that not much happened. Although it wasn’t the best, I recognized the freedom I have today.

“Dare to do right.”

-Rex D. Pinegar

This quote is very relatable and is something you may see in your everyday life. Daring is a game where you put yourself at risk to do something you may not always be comfortable with. In this quote by Rex D. Pinegar he is relating to this lifestyle game. Rex is encouraging us to always do what is right and comfortable when it comes to being the darer or the one being dared.  Always strive to do what you feel most comfortable with and never let anything so little effect you in any way. Always daring to do what right can help you avoid being dared to do what’s wrong. Being dared and taking a bad dare in consideration is a way to risk yourself in trouble and being hurt. Daring to do whats wrong is an example of CTW, it just puts you at risk for so much that can have a negative output to others. Daring yourself or others to do whats right is an example of CTR. Daring someone to do something right and comfortable with will make them feel good about yourself. Dare to do right is a safe and a way to avoid consequences and taking the challenge.

A great example that can be shared is, being dared to jump off a roof. Jumping off a roof is very unsafe and in fact very dangerous. If you are being pushed to do this dare, it makes you feel uncomfortable and they start calling you names. At the time you feel pushed and pressured to do something you know you don't feel comfortable doing as well as you know it's dangerous. If you result in doing this dare its a sign of weakness, you let others tell you what to do. To be a CTR person stand up and use your voice on how it isn’t cool.
