Education the body, mind, and character

" of all the work that is done or that can be done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the 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

I believe Theodore himself is trying to explain that people themselves choose to where they want to be in life not the other people. Also that we should all do something for our community we should all give back some how an example is if there is a group in your school that makes a trip to go pick up trash at the beach sign your self up for it you don't want to have the mind set that oh if i go and clean its just going to get dirty again so whats the point of cleaning it? well the point is that you are one step closer to making this nation our generation a different way and not making us more lazy i believe that our generation gets lazier by the second first we don't want to do our homework cause its too hard well maybe if you paid more attention in class than it won't be so hard and you won't be to lazy to do so. I believe that if we all have our mind set into one thing if life it will all be different. We should all like do something to benefit others and ourselves in life and not be afraid to take new chances and new risk and something that you know isn't bad for you.

The goal if true education

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character,that is the goal of true education."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr 

I think Martin was always smart and stuff and i think this quote means to me that yes you can have the smartness and yes you can be the most smartest person but you always need to have the right character you cant be mean you always have to have the correct mind set always have the right mind to do something for someone that will be out of your own way and always be nice and kind to others and you can always achieve great things in life with having a great soul. Also you can't always make your self feel more better than everyone else you always need to be kind to those who need help and those who need a chance to get things right in life you can't be selfish and you always need to have a fresh head and a open mind and not to be afraid to try new things like like drugs but other things than drugs that can or maybe not help you in life. 

physical fitness 

" Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong"

 John F. Kennedy

I believe that John F Kennedy is right for example when someone is sick they don't think about doing something intelligence they mainly because your body and mind is more focusing on getting better and making sure your getting enough sleep and that your eating right so your body can have the capacity to fight of the sickness you have your mind won't be focusing on being nice and making sure someone else okay because your mind body will know when it should be taking care of it self. For another example is when your not sick your mind and body functions the way it used to so it has time to think about other people you have time to be kind and ask for something if they need something its up to you to see if weather or not to be kind but everyone should want want to be kind. I for example i am a mean person when i want to be and when i want to be super nice and its that kind of nice that its even scary but if i wanted to be nice my whole life i would need to make my self practice everyday to be nice and not be mean to people because that how i would function but sometimes people are not in the mood to play nice like me and just gives a mean face to everyone.

KINDNESS

Joseph B. Wirthlin

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

This means that if your a mean person no one wants to be around a mean person trust me i have this one girl in my math class who is super mean and annoying sometimes every time i would get something wrong in math she would call me a stupid b** and other mean words it would make me sad and sometimes believe it i tell my self never over think someone else's words to you if they aren't true and you know yourself they aren't true than don't waste your time thinking your something when your not. An act of kindness can be something big it doesn't always have to be something big like for example if a persons papers falls out of their notebook you don't just walk around it you want to help and pick up the papers which is showing you are a kind person you didn't need to pick up the papers but you were kind enough to do so. Another example could be if some one is having a hard time in a subject and you get it perfectly you want to ask if they need help even if they didn't ask for it because that shows you don't want to see other people fail because if that was you would want someone nice helping you. One last example is something big a person who is presenting a project and they are stuck on how to explain something you want to help them understand because they are in front of a lot of people even if that means putting yourself on the spot you want to help other people out it doesn't always have to be some thing big and major it just has to be something as tiny as taking out the trash or washing the dishes with out your parents telling you they will reward you and they will recognize your hard work and effort.
