        "A man without a goal is like a ship without an rudder."
                                                              -Thomas Carlyle


A rudder tells the ship where to go and what way to reach the destination. Not having a rudder means you are simply in an ocean going nowhere and getting lost. In the real world this can mean that when you do not have goals then what do you have? Are you just simply living life everyday not knowing where you are heading. Although at times that might sound like the best idea you will be like the boat lost in the ocean. You may find yourself  but when you are a person with no goals at all it is harder. Goals help you realize what you want to do. Life is about having fun but it’s also about stability and knowing where your priorities need to be. Having goals and priorities leads you to all the adventures in life. When you do not have goals you are simply just there , not trying to achieve anything.

                                               Beautiful Character

If there is beauty in character, 

there will be harmony in the home.

If there is harmony in the home,

there will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation, 

there will be peace in the world.

Conclusion:

If there is beauty in character,

                            there will be peace in the world. 

                                        - Chinese Proverb                                          

 Anyone who has peace in them can be contagious, and I believe that this is what this Chinese Proverbs is about. If you give and act out in good character, others will do the same. I don't think anyone who’s given a bad character has received any better in return. So, an example of what good character and peace looks like can be when you are serving the community. When you serve the community you bring joy to people and to whom you're working for. An example of bad character that doesn't bring peace are gangs. Gangs are known to be the worst problem in every city and they can have the highest rate of deaths. I don't think death brings happiness to anyone, it only bring rage and sadness. To conclude, I believe that the more good deeds are made everyday, the more peace we can get and then we will have the 'peace in the world' for everyone, because everyone deserves it.

          "Dare to stand up alone. Stand up for what is right, even if you stand alone."
                                                      -Thomas S. Monson 

What this means is you can stand up without anyone making you stand up, you can do whatever you want thats a CTR thing without anyone making you do it. This quote from Thomas Monson has such great significance. It can have many meanings or things to relate to. But the one that stands out to me is to say what you think is right. And to stand up or believe in what you think is right. No matter what others think you do what you want. Even if no one agrees with you. Do what you think is good for you and other people. It doesn’t matter if you stand alone, if no one is on your side. I believe choices are meant to be taken seriously because they can affect your life as easily as it was to make the choice. We need to have courage and be brave. We also need to be kind, and think positive. Although at times it can get hard and frustrating, we just need to remember that it will pass. Try to think positive about the situation, and try to think it out before you act on impulse.
