Memorial Day

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America. Memorial Day is on May 25.  Ways to honor Memorial Day is by saying thanks for their service, barbecue for the troops, support Injured Service Members and their Families, visit a veteran’s cemetery, etc. I thank them for their service.

“The most important thing you will ever have is good values.”

                                                                

                                                                                Dennis Prager

Reflection:

Good values are very important. It isn’t the most important thing we can have in my perspective, but it is important. Some may think money is more important, but is it really? I mean yeah you get to buy anything you want but what about your values? It’s always better to keep that in mind rather than something so foolish.

   “Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong”

                                                                

                                                                                Wilford Woodruff

Reflection:

                What’s the point in doing the wrong? We don’t gain anything either way, yet again you may gain the opposite. Choosing the wrong is profound to lead to negative consequence, which isn’t good. So, why choose the wrong? Always stick to choosing the right. Choosing the right will lead to a positive consequence in which would make one feel better.

Video reflection:

Mr. Morgan works in an airport and when he was on duty he found an iPad with 13k in the case. He returned the iPad with the money to the authority and it got returned to the owner. The owner gave him 60 dollars in reward thankful for Patrick’s honesty and character. Patrick, instead of keeping that $60, he gave 30 dollars to a homeless lady and the rest to a coworker. His boss then rewarded him with $625, his good deed not going unnoticed. 

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

                                                                   

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Reflection:

 Doing what is right is a life style. There is no physical reward to give for someone choosing the right. It’s more of a rewarding feeling one has after doing what is right. When someone does a good deed it makes them feel good about themselves, more useful and handy. it makes us feel better about ourselves because we know we chose the right.
