Statement
“Improve your
performance by improving your attitude.”
ANON
Reflection: This
statement is very true. You have to improve your attitude in order to improve
in your performance. For example if you have a bad attitude and are grumpy most
of the time, everything you do will come out wrong or sloppy. On the other
hand, if you have a positive attitude or optimistic attitude things will be
productive and successful. Change your attitude in order to improve your
performance. Choose then right and improve your performance.

Statement
“Always do right.”
Mark Twain
Reflection: Mark Twain
is absolutely right. You must always do right. You must always do right in
order to go far in life. If you do what’s right good things will come your way.
If you choose the right you will be successful, for example, if you try your
hardest in high school and earn good grades you will earn your diploma and even
get a scholarship. It all depends on you. You should always do right and avoid doing
right. Choose the right and always do right.

More Tips
Finally, look beyond the article for more clues
·
Read the website’s home page and the About Us
page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose
and the organization sponsoring it.
·
If there is an author listed, look for a biography
that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant
background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the
Web.
·
Check the dates. Facts can change over time, so
see if the site shows when it was last updated
·
Presentation counts; look at everything from
design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of
professionalism.
·
Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate,
below par, suggestive, and falsifying.

“Gold medals don’t
make champions…. hard work does.”
Anon
Reflection:
This
statement is really true. Gold medals do not determine a champion, it’s their
hard work and dedication that does. Champions show lots of effort and do a lot of
hard work to win a medal and be athletic. A piece of metal does not determine a
champion, their hard work values more thus making it the key identifier of a
champion. For example, each and every athlete that competes in the Olympics is
a champion for representing their home country and working to the extremes in
order compete in these prestigious games. Choose the right and don’t let a metal
identify you as a champion; let your hard work do the determination.

Read between the Lines
Make a judgment about the site’s
reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it
contains. Here are some ways to do this:
·
Look for facts you know or can check with a
trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the
other facts on the site are also accurate.
·
Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric,
or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.
·
Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed
up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.
·
Check the links to the sources that the author
acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a
bibliography.
