memorial day

Memorial Day

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a time of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. It was originally observed on May 30th as a day of reconciliations and coming together to honor those brave members of the military who gave their all. Some towns and cities still have Memorial Day parades; many have not held one in decades. Some of the largest parades take place in Chicago, New York and Washington, DC. In 2004, Washington, DC, held its first memorial day parade in more than 60 years. Some people believe the day is for honoring any and all of the dead, not just those who died in service to our country. Many see it as a day for cookouts, parties, or just a long weekend for traveling and visiting friends or relatives. Americans also observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials. Something I didn’t know was that each year on memorial day a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.

barbara a. lewis quote

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There's less chance of a misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.
2. Telling others the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished.
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than lying and getting caught.
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don't have to tell and remember more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain a reputation of being truthful- a trait most people value.
8. Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful.
- Barbara A. Lewis

This means that you should always tell the truth no matter what. Telling the truth will make you trustworthy. For example when it comes to someone cheating on a test and they tell the teacher the truth that they cheated will be believable. It’s better saying that truth than keeping that to yourself and lying to the teacher that you did it all on your own. Always do the right thing and tell the truth no matter what it is. It’s best to do than hurting someone with lies, having to go along with each lie and story you make up and everything else.

dan dierdorf quote

“ If I’ve got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.” - Dan Dierdorf

What this quote means is that if you have the correct goals and keep pushing yourself to reach those goals you’ll be successful. For example, if your goal is to finish your homework before a certain time and you push yourself to reach that goal you’ll do it and get it done. That’s a step closer to being successful. You’re choosing to do the right thing and you are doing it right so everything else you have planned will follow along and it will go right for you. Another example would be of not reaching your goal, not turning in your homework or any assignment. That’s a bad start because you’re giving up and your grade will be going down. There wouldn’t be a chance of someone being able to succeed while not being able to push themselves to reach their goals. It’s always best for someone to reach their goals and being able to be successful while choosing the right.

Deciding to choose what’s right and best for you is always the best thing to do.

dr. laura schlessinger quote

“ The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.” - Dr. Laura Schlessinger

What this quote means is when you do what is right, you are rewarded. When you do what is right, you feel good. For example, when you see someone drop their money pick it up and give it back to them. You chose to do the right thing and you feel pretty good about it. An example on doing what’s wrong is taking the money for yourself and not say anything about it. You doing that is already wrong and you don’t feel like it was the right thing to do. Yeah you found yourself something but that isn’t the right thing because what if that money was needed for that person that dropped it. Choosing to do what’s right is best to do.

wilford woodruff quote

“ Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.” - Wilford Woodruff

Image result for wilford woodruffWhen you do something wrong you never get something out of it. For example, if you cheat on something and get caught cheating there is nothing you can get out of it. You just get something bad in return for doing something wrong. Like if it was a test you got caught cheating on you earned yourself a fail a zero. It’s wrong to do that in the first place. But if you choose to do something right then you get some type of reward for if. For example, if you choose to help the poor or homeless, you get respect for that. Being kind and choosing to do what’s right from the heart helps and is always best for you. It’s better than doing wrong and getting nothing but punishments for it or just nothing in return since it is wrong to do in the first place.

pam knox quote

“ It’s a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.” - Pam Knox

What this quote means is that someone who has character chooses to do the right things at the right moment is the best and it’s a wonderful moment. For example if your teacher tells you to write an essay at that moment you do it. You write it and finish it during the class time and have it ready for the teacher. That is choosing to do the right thing at the right moment since it was given to you during that specific time. That is choosing the right. Unless you feel like slacking off and not doing the essay and only having one or two paragraphs done is choosing to do the wrong thing. You need to be ready and sure of the moments you choose to do the right although it is always best.

karl g. maesar quote

“ I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick,reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first.” - Karl G. Maesar

Image result for karl g maeserWhat this quote means in a way is to keep a promise. Like the quote said about drawing a chalk line around him and him having to give his word of honor to not get out, he has to stay there since he promised to. Theres things you can get out of only if there was no promise made. But if there was a promise made keep it. For example, if you promised to turn in an assignment to a teacher by the end of the day do it. You promised you will turn it in don’t break the promise because then that will make them not let you turn anything in if it’s late since you broke their promise the first time. Just don’t break the promises you make. Keep them and choose to do the right thing when it comes to that.
