Educating the body mind and spirit

"Of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating our body, the mind, and above all the character, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation." -Theodore Roosevelt



Theodore Roosevelt 





What I believe this quote means is that if you take care of your mind body and spirit than all is well. If you're unhealthy than your body is unhealthy and that would mean that you have to go and exercise. Or you can also use drugs, and that would mean that you aren't taking care of your body. By the mind that can refer to having irrational thoughts. Or it can just plain and simple be to stop thinking wrong or imagining dirty images in real life. This would mean that your mind is tainted, in other words your mind isn't pure, it has something that isn't well or needs to be fixed, in any way possible, be it a psychiatrist, or psychologist. And what Mr.Roosevelt felt most important is character. Character is the way to go. You can be fat and depressed but if your character is taken care of then that won't matter because according to Roosevelt, character is what most importantly defines you as a person. If you have bad character, skipping all the nice words, if you have bad characters than no one will like you plain and simple. If you have bad character you will be hated by everyone except your mom because she made you. But if you need a job and have bad character than you might as well not even show up to the interview because the person who is hiring will most likely not want someone with bad character to be walking around just spreading all the pessimistic spirit. When this occurs people are going to notice and kick you out of where ever it is that you are. Now if you have a good spirit than you have a chance of getting a job anywhere you apply to, OF course not anywhere because some places require different things for different jobs in different fields but other than that you will be treated kind and with a light heart every where you go because that will be the way that people feel about you and they will also like to be treated as such.
