SSS: "Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind." -B.C. Forbes
REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because it is stating that if you are honest with others, lets say, about finding money, god, or others will repay you by money or a lack of good knowledge and everything good that you do has there own good things along with it.

2 High School Championships-Player
REFLECTION: I agree with this statement because it is stating that we should not focus on the past or the future you should focus on the present because the present is what matters the most.

Time Management 8-10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time- classes, homework and activities - with some family help. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow's produce while planning next week's menu. Someone said, "Wherever you are, be there." Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don't let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment  at hand. You can't go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Attention to Detail 7-10

John Wooden, UCLA's former great basketball coach who led his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn't tie them correctly, he would teach them how.
Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.
