"Together Everyone Achieves More!"

-ANON

       To me this wuote is telling me that working with a team or with other peers, would make it easier for you to achieve a specif goal or anything you want to achieve. If your working with other you have more effort from everyone and things will get done faster. I personally think this is a great quote because by personal experience its true. For example, sports team work together and they win games. the all have put in effort to get a win, therefore, they have a achieved their goal to win. No diference than in school when we do group projects. With everyone having different ideas, it helps us get the work done faster and is teaches more things.

"Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds....

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

-ANON

This quote is telling me that mind needs thought so I can grow and become better. If we want something good to happen for us, we are suppose to make effort to make it happen. If we dont do the good thing we are going to have negative outcomes. If we think positively, then we are going to have a strong positive mind. For example, if we want to become someone in life, we are suppose to study and work ourselves until we reach that goal. It will take time, but it will get here and you'll be proud of yourself because it will pay off.

-Napoleon Hill

To me this quote is saying that if I have a goal that is worth fo trying to reach and if I a positive attitude set to it, then it will become a great achievement. We should all have positive attitudes to our goals if we want to reach them and always do whats right to get that goal. Never should we think negative because thats just a sign of our weakness.

Like that you will reach your goal.

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

To me this quote says that when you're in a negative mind set only bad things will come from that. But if you're in a positive mind set you'll be happy. I think if you think negatively you will attract negative people and energy and if you think positively you will be surrounded my positive people contributing to your overall happiness, I remember back in elementary school I really wanted to win the student of the month award but I didn't so then I was terribly mad so I stopped doing the things that I usually did and started hanging around bad kids but then one day I came to my senses and went back to being happy.
