 “There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil.”

Ayn Rand

Reflection: Ayn Rand words of wisdom are very true. There is no justification to doing evil. Doing what’s bad is very terrible, it is never right to choose the wrong. There is no reason to do what’s wrong. For example you can’t just rob and say it was the right thing to do because eventually you’ll go to jail and face the consequences. Never choose the wrong; there is no justification for doing the wrong. Choose the right and only do what’s right!

5 tips for success

Tip 5

Tip 5: keep a list of questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they’ve read the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost.

The philosopher Sir Francis bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most out of your education. So pick up a book….and a pen.

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it ended up not being right.”

Mario Cuomo

Reflection: This statement by Mario Cuomo is very true. You know something is not right because you can feel it. Every time you something doesn’t feel right, it ends up not being right. The human conscience lets you know that something is not right. People who choose the wrong ignore this conscience alarm, and still do what’s wrong. If something doesn’t feel right don’t do it because it is definitely not the right. Choose the right and listen to your conscience because the majority of the time its advising you with the correct thing to do.
