mistakes-learning:

I think it is good to learn from your mistakes because then you can do it better the next time you attempt it and feel that you have accomplished something great. “Mistakes are the stepping stones to learning”.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

There once was a boy who was bored as he sat on a hill with sheep. For fun he decided to fool the village . He cried out wolf and the village came running up the hill. They were angry at him. He did it again and again. When the wolves did come no-one came because he is a liar.

The story teaches us that when you tell a lie the consequences might be bad. If you lie then people won’t trust you.

Personal Development

Perseverance: I think perseverance is an important choice because  if you are committed to doing something you should stick with it/ stand by it. Perseverance also teaches you to never give up and fight for what yu think is right.

Successfull living

Confidence: It is good to have confidence because it’s one of the main life skills. It helps with friend making, job interviews and everyday situations. People should just be comfortable with who they are and have self belief in themselves.

Develpoing resilience

Put it off->Do it now: I think people should only put something off if they have a good enough reason but if you keep putting it off nothing will ever get resolved. Atleast if you do it now that will be it done and over with.

Perssonal relationships

Respect: We are all human and all deserve to be treated the same because we are the same. We may have different values but it doesnt mean we are differnt. Yeah we are all special and all have our own individual uniquness’ but we should all still respect one an other. If you see someone struggling, imagine you were them and go do the better thing and help them, and become the better bigger person. They will respect you a lot more than you might think.

Neil Armstrong

My inspirational figure is Neil Armstrong because he took so long to get ready for the moon. He showed perseverance, and this is what you would like to see from a man. As he said, “It’s one small step for a man, but a big leap for mankind.” He is also an inspirational figure because he didn’t just travel to the moon and be the first one there, but he did it on behalf of America and this amazing. He risked his life for the American people.

Kobe Bryant: I don’t want to be the next Micheal Jordan I just want to be Kobe Bryant.

Dylan

Moses

The story of Moses is defiinately one of my favourite stories. This is because it teaches people to do things for the right reasons. Moses acted out of pure love for the Jews being and led them away from slavery.  He saved the Jewish people.

Favourite Quotations

Here are a few of my favourite quotations.

Bob Marley- One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

John Lennon- Work is life, you know, and without it, there’s nothing but fear and insecurity

Lloyd

Personal Development

Perseverence- Where would we be without perseverence because we would not have electricity because they pesevered to make it.

Successful Living

Self-Discipline-If nobody had self-discipline we would get nowhere in life because  you wouldn’t do anything to help yourself or anyone else.

Developing resilience

Mistakes-Learning-If we never make mistakes we would never learn anything. The saying “two wrongs don’t make a right” supports this because you don’t know were you went wrong.

 Personal Relationships

Co-operation-If no one had co-operation you would not be able to have a simple conversation because you would be talking over each other.

Dylan

The person I know is not famous or well known, they have not taken over the world or done anything remarkably different. For all I know they may not even be particularly smart or witty, but I admire them because they show that anyone can make a difference to society, no matter what your opportunities are. The person I admire is the lollipop lady, I admire her because she hasn’t done anything abnormal or amazing (that I know of) but she still makes a difference and an impact. You could say she saves lives everyday by stopping people from getting run over. She doesn’t know us at all but she still makes sure we cross the road safely. I think she is an inspiration to everybody because she is a living monument to show just how easy it is to change the world, even if it is just a little bit. Every time I pass her now I think about how easy it is to do something and change peoples lives without even thinking about it. She shows how you don’t have to do well in school or be outgoing or amazing at something to make a change. You can be anything you want to be and still make a difference, it doesn’t take much – just making sure an old lady crosses the road safely, or helping her with her bags so she doesn’t hurt herself can make a huge difference. Even talking to someone about their problems could make a difference, or saying hello to someone as they pass you in the street could put a smile on their face. When you think about it she really proves how easy it is to help. Another reason that I chose the lollipop lady is because she should have some recognition, most people will walk past her everyday without a second glance but if you think about it, what if she wasn’t there? What if you crossed the road without looking and a car hit you? How would that change your and your family’s life? If you died it could case your family and friends a lot of grief, pain and hurt. By making sure you cross safely the lollipop lady could be saving you and your family from that. Anyone can make a difference, but not everybody does. The choice is yours.
