I bother my co workers lol

I just finally bought The Twilight By Stephenie Meyer after reading thru it at a library from which I guess someone had left it there. anyway I just wanted to point out that if you get your hands on this book and any other of the 4 book series she wrote check the inside cover there is a quote or i think its a quote that I found interesting. Here it is.

I'D NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE - though I'd had reason enough in the last few months - but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this . . . . surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. noble, even. that ought to count for something.

Very deeply ...........

Forever

By Kristi lynn

I've known you for only a short period of time, but I feel as if I've known you forever.

I tremble with joy at your every touch.

The feel of your hand taking mine -I want you to hold it forever.

I glow with happiness every time you're near.

I want you near me now, I want to be with you forever.

My knees grow weakin your loving arms.

I want to stay there, I want you to hold me forever.

My body melts with every kiss you give.

Just the thought of your lips on mine -I want you to kiss me forever.

My heart jumps to know how much you care.

Knowing that it is so much more -I want you to love me forever.

Do You Believe What You Hear or See

"Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see" by Benjamin Franklin

This quote means unless I know what someone told me to be true I have to think and investigate this information before believing in it . Seeing with my own eyes is not always truth but can be a lie. When I think about this quote it reminds me of mystery novels. In Mystery novels I can never assume something to be true without the facts. Investigators are a good example they can connect small clues to solve mysteries or uncover facts about crime and theft. They Study every detail because if their wrong it can cost a person their life or something even worse. Thinking before acting is what I do and always the truth can be relieved when all the piece of the puzzle are in place. When someone hears a rumor do I always jump to a conclusion just because someone said it or do I find out if it's true with your own eyes?

One quote that I thought to be most interesting is a quote by Franklin P. Jones "Experience is that marvelous thing that enables me to recognize a mistake when I make it again". This quote says it all , The mistakes that I make prepare me for my future. I believe in this quote mainly because everyone makes mistakes now and then but learning from it is very important so that it doesn't happen again. The experience I gained can be worth it. I made mistakes myself I have skipped school a lot of times during high school. I just got lazy and just did not want to go. I wanted to stay home and hang out with my friends. I was given a chance to changed my ways and I took it. Now I am 2 credits away from graduating high school and I am proud of what I have done for myself.

Why We Lie ?

Children lie for many reasons. Some of these reasons are kept to themselves and progress overtime that they have to lie all the time. Fear is one common lie that is usually motivated an upcoming situation with an adult. Usually children fear to have privileges taken away from them or they are pressured into lying. I remember when I had to lie to my family that I was not going to school, fearing that when they heard from teachers about what I am doing they would thing of me differently. They would take the title of being the most responsible one in the family away from me. Lies become habits that becomes a reflex when confronted on lies. Usually when I lie I feel guilty and it tends to build up and I just keep lie to people for my own sake. It tends to become a habit in which I lie by reflex and when I am confronted on this lie I say it's the truth while lie to myself and my parent to their face.

In some situations children learn to lie in experiencing other lies. Lie usually learned by children come from within the household. Lies that are harmless to one can be more of an nuances to another. The problem is shielding our children from these lies, But it is usually better for them to learn from the parents instead from others outside the home. There should be no lies in the home there should only be truth. Telling the truth always to children can give a great example that lies are not needed. The best thing is to be a model parent. Sometimes children over predict the reaction parents say. I know usually parents will give the same answers to different situations all the time and anyone would get tired of hearing no. We lie in response to these answers before hand not knowing that they would say yes. Parents should not box there children in but instead explain certain boundaries that are negotiable. I Have been in this situation before and it tends to back fire on me most of the time. I believe having and understanding and a good relationship with my parent leads to better living. I mother who let me skip school if a certain situation presents it self and I wouldn't have to lie. Taking the chance to ask my mother knowing the answer might be a no or a yes is a risk to take because it might benefit me in a good way.

What makes a good liar ?

What Really makes a good Liar? I believe what makes a good liar is body control. Learning to control my body flaws that can give myself away. I Always make eye contact and never look away in any direction. I Don't fidget, or cross my arms or put my hands in my pocket. That is sign that I am nervous which can tell any other person that I am lying. I always go over my lines and go over it in my head and I will try to find holes in my story to questions I would not be able to answer. I found that smiling in certain situations are good and fake laughing. Fake laughing is hard but with practice it gets easy. If all of that doesn't work I would just give up and play like it was a joke, who knows it might work.

A Confession of LiesNo, it isn't needed: this blue sky, the two exact trees where they are green ash, blue pine. The seas can rise to within an inch of the buildings but will not,Ever. For now, like them, my words can be trusted. There is no need for a doubt. We will not die. We cannot keep the woods from receding north to a cooler horizon. Red, white, and yellow trash will escape our hands to go into the water. A glowing, new coal will escape our lips and go down through time in the water, to come up a cool, gold drink. The truth: We aren't eager to die. We turn all our acts to good. We think and desire a like. Whatever we start we complete. We don't let our anger loose. All earth is as wide and dear and clean as when I was small. Whenever I lie, I tell a truth.

"Whenever I lie, I tell a truth." I think the author of the poem meant, what we believe is truth can also be a lie. Some people choose to believe what people say even though it could be a lie. I can lie to someone and they can believe what I am saying is the truth. I think that behind ever truth there is also a lie.

"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. "Mark Twain(1835-1910, American humorist, writer)

This quote means lies are usually planned out and can take time to remember. Losing your place or forgetting one part can destroy your plan, so why lie when telling the truth is more better. In fact it's more easy and it won't cause stress in which lying can cause a lot of it.

Lies are used all the time and all the time they have consequences. Lying to people can discredit yourself in many ways. They won't believe half of what you say anymore and it always lead to mistrust which is not good. It's like the story of the boy who cried wolf he called wolf to many times that the townsfolk did not believe him anymore and it lead to his unfortunate undoing.

The Habits of Mind

The habits of mind means skills that are linked to your behavior. It's a skill that is the embodiment of your life. The way a person listens and talks can tell me a lot about them. The way they act around a group of people shows habits that they developed growing up over the years. Choosing a way to talk instead of fighting and thinking before I act are habits of mind. Knowing how to act on situation that come before me with the knowledge that I have gained. The experience in which my behavior was used in those situations stay with me to the future. My habits change over time and can better my life interactions with future events.

Managing impulsivity describes one of my habits. This habit are usually seen in problem solvers, people who think before they act . They are information gathers who hardly fail in some situations. I use this habit alot in school when answering a problem or asking questions that might sound silly or incorrect. I listen and form a plan instead of blurting out the answer. Guessing is okay to me but I like being right. I am managing impulsivity. Before I leave the home I expect to get to places on time. Some days unexpected things might happen and I can get me mad but I get threw it.

I am quiet and calm
I wonder where I'll be
I hear talking around me
I see everybody around me
I want silence around me
I am quiet and calm

I pretend to be happy
I feel warmth within me
I touch people's hearts
I worry for others
I cry for others
I am quiet and calm

I understand I need to fight to get ahead
I say I'll never give up
I dream of a better life
I try to push myself everyday
I hope to be someone great one day
I am quiet and calm
