"Success Is Not An Accident"

“Success is not an accident. Success is actually a choice. Are the habits you have today on par with the dreams you have tomorrow?”
                                                                     -Alan Stein



I believe this quote means that we choose whether we are going to be successful or not. It means that with our choices we make the grand choice of if we will be successful or not. It means that we are the ones that choose our future with our decisions of today.


An example of this would be high school for example. Some students choose to do their assignments and go every day. These students are choosing to be successful. Others students may ditch class, or just not do their homework. Some may even not sign up for high school. Simply put they choose success when they choose the right.

"When Obedience Becomes Our Goal..."

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of stumbling block, it becomes a building block."                                                                     -James E. Faust


I believe this quote means more than just obedience. I feel like it has much greater meaning than just what it speaks of. I believe what this quote means is that when we need to obey something in order for, let's say money, it doesn't bother you to obey, instead it gives you happiness or excitement. Most of the time obeying is an irritating thing to do. But, when we are put under condition where obeying will end up benefiting you, we see it as  anything, but obeying. We might classify it as "making money" or "warming up" because we are only doing it for a certain reason, because it becomes our goal, our priority. For example, working. People don't enjoy work very much, but when they get older, they realize that working will make them money. Once they get the mentality, that the more they work the more money they'll make, they start enjoying work much much more. That's why, not just obedience, when anything becomes our goal, we do it with that much more pleasure and determination.

"Choosing The Right"

"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do"

                                                                              -Alex Linares

I believe that this quote means to choose the right when you don't know what to do. When you don't know how to approach a situation you should always choose the right. Instead of doing anything wrong or just neglecting a situation you should just choose the right. An example of this would be like seeing a family member that needs help, you don't just ignore them you try to help them in any way that you can or are able too. Another example would be if you see someone out on the street asking you to help them, you don't tell them no because then everyone would think you're just a mean person for choosing the wrong.                                

Dermatologist

                 Dermatologist

Duties and Responsibilities:
Some duties of the dermatologist are Botox injections, laser hair remover, skin tightening, chemical peels, sclerotherapy, collagen fillers, and microdermabrasion.
Salary:
A dermatologist can make from $88,605 to $304,220.

Just to qualify for professional practice a person must be certified by the ABD. To get certified you must take an exam that you can take after you graduate from osteopathic school. They must also complete four years of postgraduate training.
Picture:    

Reflection:
I would not like to be a dermatologist. I wouldn’t be a dermatologist because I find the medical area of cosmetics to be very bland and very boring. Why be a dermatologist that requires you to go to school for much longer than other jobs. Plus being an electrical engineer pays much more and is something that I find so fascinating.

"Obedience Is Central"

"Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy"  -Dave Bednar

I believe this quote means that when you obey and follow the rules you will be happy because you won't get in trouble. Not getting in trouble will keep you at ease because you will know you didn't do anything wrong. For example when you break the law, you might go to jail or get a ticket. If you get away with it you won't feel good , you'll feel guilty. But, if you follow the law then you'll be happy and guilt free. That is why obedience is central to becoming and remaining happy.

"What You Are"

"what you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player"
                                                      -John Wooden



What I believe this quote means is that no matter how you are in an activity or different place you must always be a good person. John Wooden was a basketball player and was amazing at it, but he cared more about how he was as a person. If you're good at a sport, but have no sportsmanship than everyone is going to hate you no matter how good you are at it. If you're just a bad person in general than you might not even make it into the team. But, if you're a good person than you'll be loved and praised like how people praised John Wooden, and still do. If you're a good person than the coach will like you more and give you a shot at joining the team. That is why you must always be a good person in general, not just for certain things.
