9 ways to be happy and make something of your life           Gordon B. Hinckle  y

•        Be grateful

                            To be grateful you would not have to act up  with the people that give you stuff be grateful and say thank you. be happy for what you have because, once it’s gone it’s gone and you will regret it.

       “I’m looking forward to the future, and feeling grateful for the past.”  –Mike Rowe  

• Be smart

      Smart means to be intelligent. In order to be smart you have to be good in school or learn from going to school every day. They say you learn something every day and its true as days pass by you to yourself is very smart. Use it wisely …and find ideas how to do more stuff…maybe even smart your friends and family by proving them wrong.

“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just I stay with problems longer.”  -Albert Einstein 

to be smart i would have to come to school everyday, do my homework, Ask teachers for help, get tutoring classes, i know i could do it it just the amount of time i have.

• Be involved in good works

To be involved is actually a good thing to do. To be involved it’s like joining a sport or club, this is good works because, will help you in college. Being involved in good works is a way to start your life, if you do good things as involving sports or being involved in churches volunteering is good not just for you but for the people you helped. I would be involved in many crazy things that involved in my house, and there not all good ones.

“Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me and I may remember. involve me and I learn.” –Benjamin Franklin

In order for me to do this I will have to tell my friends that I want to be involve in sports and many other things with them because, I know for a fact that I can’t join without them by my side.

• be clean 

  You would need to be clean by taking a shower every day because, no matter if it’s hot or cold you sweat a lot. Especially girls who wear makeup like me has to clean their faces every day because, if you sleep with your makeup it’s dirty and nasty when you wake up and you will get pimples from all that dirt in your pores. You will need to be clean for parties and job interviews to feel and look fresh. No one will like a smelly bum who doesn’t shower brush their teeth and brush their hair you may even catch symptoms to all of that.

“Don’t call the world dirty because you forgot to clean your glasses.” 

                                                                                                  -Aaron hill            This quote is exactly would  people will say about the earth, some people say this world is a nasty place to be in look how dirty it is, when in reality there not clean maybe they are dirty by doing and taking and selling drugs to people. Maybe even pornography, the cure words they say, and bad relationships, they’re the ones who made the world like that because, of the way there are with it.                                     

•     Be True

        To be true you would have to  not lie in any way, especially when you’re in a relationship because, to be true is the main part of being in a relationship. If your relationship started with lies it might just end dirty, and if you haven’t lie then that’s good keep it like that and be true to yourself and to your partner. Maybe you might be thinking like “but I don’t want to get in trouble so I have to lie” that is just bringing  more and bad problems I’d rather tell the truth then to say it behind there back like a true person.

“Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

  In order for me to do this i would just tell people straight up and not talk behind there backs..im much more than them..if they talk behind me backa nd not beingb true about it,ill just simple turn the other cheek.

•  Be positive

    To be positive is very hard to know the consequences that you’re looking for in the future, for an example taking a test if you thought it was hard and you’re not being positive with yourself it will just make you more scared and frustrating to see what your grade was for the test. Sometimes I’m always positive but, when it comes down to my grades in school I freak out. I’m also negative when it comes down to my boyfriend and me when we have problems , that’s why I like to work things out and not ignore the fact that it might end between us soon. I give good advice to those who need it the most because there always negative and angry or scared most of time, but the first things I tell them is to be positive and things will be okay.

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.–Helen K.   

           To be positive I will just keep looking forward and never back down on the negative side.                                                                            

                                                                

•  Be humble

 To be humble or showing a modest or low estimate of one’s own importance. I think that humble is also like showing people positive thoughts and not the negative stuff about what to do. For an example telling one of your friends to not say bad words in front of your family, or people that your close with. I would do favors to them if they don’t say bad words because I curse at times when im super mad at myself for not doing the right but, I keep it to myself I don’t be saying it out loud like what the Haymore in front of my family because, I know I have respect to the people who respect me back and if they don’t I just simply don’t care what they say. Also show people you are not afraid to do what is right show them you are brave no matter what.

“It’s hard to be humble when your great as I am.” –Muhammad Ali                                                                                                                                                                                          I think to be humble you have to always stay positive in your thoughts and see what is good to be good instead of bad all the time.

•  Be still

To be still means do not move to a certain point where you might get in trouble and start to act all mean and dangerous. I had an uncle who didn’t take my dad’s advice and he ended up being locked up for just getting revenge on a guy, so I know if I were to get mad ill just leave it as it is and ignore because, if I move I know I will get in trouble but, if I stay still and be positive I know for a fact nothing bad will happened unless I’m with that group of people who would hate to see me in the streets or anywhere.

“The near stillness recalls what is forgotten, extinct angels."

           my advice to you is to be a better person and ignore, because you may get the consequences for not choosing the right.

• Be prayerful

  To be prayerful is like to be a good man or women following what you go for like your religious. I think what sandy  Koufax was really good of man by not playing the season with Dodgers due to his religion. That is someone that would take anything over everything because, he knew that was right he didn’t care what his coach or teammates had to say and he just went for it and didn’t play.

Reflection: I think these 9 ways really made me opened up to alot of people. for an example i really dont care what people tell me that im this or your that because i honestly now dont care. Another example im now clean with my stuff at school im more oragized than before which is a relief that now i could find my homeowork. I am now true to others and myself now, i now dont tell no one my problems i just keep them to myself. Im glad we did thses 9 ways it really helps you out.
