“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, to both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”

-B.C Forbes

Reflection:

What this statement probably means is that if honesty is what shows your character and that an honest person wouldn't do what is wrong. But be strong and fair. In other words honesty represents character and the honest man/woman always is fair, respectful, and brave. For example, someone who is honest shows that they are fair and brave, but a dishonest person shows that they are cowards and unfair. Another example is if someone finds someone else’s phone and decides to return it then he is a honest and brave person and if they decide not to turn it in then they are not honest.

“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment”

Phil Jackson

Reflection:

This quote means that you shouldn't worry about your future, or past you should worry about what is happening NOW at this moment. For example if you’re taking a test you shouldn't worry about the next question or if you’re going to pass or not pass you should just worry about the question your on at that moment then go on to the next. Also that it doesn't matter if you win or lose but on concentrating on what is happening now. In other words, don’t worry if you’re winning or losing only focus on what is going on right at that very moment.  Another example if you are playing a basketball game and your team is losing, don’t worry about it only focus on what is going on right at that moment; you shouldn't worry about the scoreboard..

“ Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

                   Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection:
What this statement probably means is that being honest is best way to walk upon. In other words, having the truth with you the road is always solid, not rough. For example, if you are not honest, then you will feel guilty and your road is always bumpy. However, if you are honest then you will feel great and your road is straight.

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning”

Claudius

Reflection:

I think this statement means that no one is responsible of your learning it’s all up to you nobody else. For example the grade you receive on your report card is upon anybody else it’s the choices, decisions, etc. that you make nobody else. There is nobody to blame but yourself because architect is your own learning. The one that builds their learning is yourself in other words you are responsible for your own education. Another example there is a test the next day and you want to pass it so what you should do instead of cheating is study the night before the test or if you knew about a week ago you could of studied since then, and you are sure to pass the test because you were responsible for your own learning.
