CTW: Choosing the Wrong Breeds Punishment

Choose the Right and enjoy independence and freedom. Choose the wrong, and reap bondage, captivity, and loss of participation time. You can even get kicked out of the game, even the game of life for an indefinite period of time.
The heaviest burdens we can carry in this life come to us when we CTW!

Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7

The Two Great Questions:

(1)  After high school, then what?

(2)  Which roads will I travel?


“Decide upon your major definite purpose
in life and then organize all your activities around it.”
BRIAN TRACY

“The indispensable first step
 to getting the things you want out of life is this:
decide what you want.”
BEN STEIN

What is life after high school all about? First, realize that your high school diploma is a master key. It will open many doors of opportunity for you that would otherwise keep you locked out. Now what’s in store for you? Let me remind you of a powerful lesson that you learned earlier, a truth taught by Thomas S. Monson when he said:
“Decisions Determine Destiny”
Decisions Decisions Decisions Decisions Decisions
“Decisions Determine Destiny”

Students, always Choose the Right.
“You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes;
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You’re on your own, and you know what you know;
You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”
DR. SEUSS

“If you don’t run your own life, somebody else will.”

Work Hard
“For every finish-line tape a runner breaks -- complete with the cheers of the crowd and the clicking of hundreds of cameras -- there are the hours of hard and often lonely work that rarely gets talked about.”
Grete Waitz

9-Time NYC Marathon Champion Grete Waitz Dies at Age 57

April 19, 2011
 
Grete Waitz via @Runners World
After battling cancer for the past six years, Grete Waitz, the Norwegian marathon champion who topped the winner’s podium at the NYC Marathon nine times, died today in Oslo at the young age of just 57.  Waitz had won the 1978-80, 1982-86, and 1988 NYC Marathons. She earned the title “The Greatest Champion in New York City Marathon History” by race organizers and fans, alike.
The interesting thing is that Waitz did not originally plan to become a marathon champion. Her husband convinced her to register for her first marathon, the NYC Marathon, in 1978. While she was originally expected to be a pace setter, she ended up winning the marathon and setting a world record of 2 hours, 32 minutes, 30 seconds.
This is a great loss to the running world, particularly because after Waitz retired from running, she dedicated her life to promoting health and wellness and raised funds to support cancer research.
Each year the New York Road Runners club organizes the “Grete’s Great Gallop,” a half-marathon, in honor honor of Grete. A great way to celebrate a wonderful person.

Believe in Yourself

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning."
- Mahatma Gandhi
