“Visualization---Imagination: What you see is what you get”

Anon

I think what this means is that if you see yourself becoming a better person you can become a good person. For example let’s see you don’t see yourself as a good person then you start to believe you’re not a good person and so since you visualized that you’re not a good person that that was the outcome of it. I also think that if you visualize yourself graduating from high school then you start wanting it so you work hard so that you are able to walk the stage and graduate with all your friends and make your family proud it could end up happening. 

“You will never be a winner if you lose your temper.”

I think what this is trying to say is having a bad attitude won’t get you anywhere. You would be a winner if you are doing the right thing and not letting anyone get to you even if you want to scream at the person the best thing to do is to keep quiet and control your temper. If you lose your temper nothing good will come from it and you will end up making things worse than they are at the moment. It’s just better to hold your tongue. I remember this one time I got so mad at someone and I lost my temper and they ended up not talking to me for a few days. If I would have just kept my mouth shut that wouldn’t have happened. So controlling your temper is an act of winning.

“The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves.”

            I believe this quote is true because if you try to outdo others you’re not really doing it for yourself you are doing it because you just want a challenge and prove something. I think that if you don’t try to outdo others and you try to outdo yourself you are benefiting yourself because you are trying to better yourself and you will learn from it and you would feel good about yourself knowing you outdid yourself and you can do new things to try to outdo yourself and experience something new. I think you can always learn new things about yourself that you didn't know before by this. 

“Your mind is a garden your thoughts are the seeds… You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds…”

Well if your thoughts are a seed then you can either have flowers which will be the good vibes or you can have weeds which will be the bad vibes. Your mind is a garden so it can be either good or bad. I think an example of this would be if you have bad thoughts like you just want to quit school or do drugs that would be that your thoughts are like weeds which means you have bad thoughts. 

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

Growing up as almost the only girl in my block with mostly guys, I never really mind being alone. In a way it had made a huge impact in my life. I learned to be more independent and to choose my friends wisely. I do however speak to many people but most of them are just acquaintance not really a good friend of mine. I only have a selective few groups of friends who are a good influence on me. The friends I hang out with want to succeed in life. And those are the types of people I surround myself with.
