"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."

Henry David Thoreau 

Reflection: 

I don't really think that this statement is true because when you are always good people tend to take advantage of you. Even if you have a kind heart, I don't think that it is always right to be good to someone.

World Record

World Records 

1. Largest Nails :Record Holder Christine Walton, September 16, 2013
2. Longest Distance keeping a table lifted with Teeth: Record Holder Georges Christen, February 9, 2008
3. Most piercings in a life time: Record Holder Elaine Davidson, May 16, 2003

The record that fascinates me the most is the one with the largest nails. It fascinates me because how does Christine use the bathroom and do her hair, makeup, etc . Its pretty weird but it is very amazing how she does things. I don't really know what world record i would like to break but if i wasn't able to break one i would try to make my own.

" My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they're popular; you make them because they're right."

Theodore Hesburgh 

( Former President of Notre Dame)

Reflection: 

i think that this quote is very true in some aspects. I don't think that people make certain decisions because they are right but because they want to make that decision. For example, people that are murderers kill people because they want to kill people. Its not right to kill a person but that choose to do it anyway. People rob banks and store for their own needs. Its not the right think to do but again, they do it because they want to. I feel like people make certain decisions because they want to make them whether they are right or wrong.
