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

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection: A person that has goals can see him or her in a good position where he or she is heading for life like a boat with the rudder it can steer to any direction the person has to go. Without your goals you’ll be lost and won’t know how to move from where you’re at.

Reflection 2: There are 3 people that have had achieved their goal by setting their minds to it since they were little. 1. A guy who can do tricks with fire and balance it very well. 2. A bean shooter he shoots rocks at things with a sling shot since he was 10 because they wouldn’t let him use a gun to hint for their food. 3. There are girls who can walk on top of an airplane they had set that goal when they first saw it on TV back in England. By seeing yourself accomplish that goal in the future can inspire you to keep on trying.

“Nicest man in the world”

Patrick Morgan

Florida

This guy names Patrick works at an airport and he was doing his usually routine as a custodian until he passed by a shack and found an iPad. He was in shock when he looked in the case because there it was 2 thousand dollars. Patrick was so nice enough to go report it so the owner can come back for what she/ he had lost. The owner was thankful and gave him a $60 reward. I felt so happy and joyful because some people would’ve kept the money and the iPad. Later on the reports were interviewing him and he said that he spent the $60 on a poor women and the other half to a co-worker that needed it. It was a heartwarming moment. His boss had noticed what he did so rewarded him $625 for himself.

2. Soda Pops are consumed per day and it’s a high risk to get a stroke. It’s loaded with sugar, sodas are an empty source of calories that cause weight gain and contribute to the nationwide epidemic of obesity. Drinking large amounts of this rapidly digested sugar causes your blood sugar to spike which can lead to both inflammation and insulin resistance.

Soda also contains artificial colorings and food chemicals like derivate 4-methylimidazeole. That’s why soda pop has been shown to cause cancer.
