Memorial Day
Memorial Day is an American holiday that happens on the last Monday of May, in which we honor the men and woman who died while serving in the U.S. military. It was originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it marks the beginning of summer.Some ways of celebrating this holiday is by making a cookout with your family and praying to god and thanking all the men and woman who died while protecting the U.S.
Some ways that I will celebrate this holiday is by watching the parades on the television and when it is dinner time I will say a quick amen to the men and woman who are protecting are great nation.
Reflection:My thoughts on memorial day are that we should always honor those who fought and bleed for our country. We should be more grateful for those who died in the line of service for this nation because those are the men and woman who knew that they would never see there family and friends ever again but chose to die for this nation. While I don't like war an its a sad thing to think about all the families that don't have a parent there because they either died or at war we should always look up to these men for they are doing something that most of us in this nation won't do. My feelings about this event go out to the families of those who lost someone to a war for they have gone through a tough time while always never knowing when there loved one would die or come back until you see a man coming with a flag in his arms.

2.Use your imagination
Reflection:To use your imagination is to make it so that nothing is unreachable and that as long as you work hard you can reach your goal. It is also the thing the at helps us be the people that we are. To use your imagination is to be able to think of new things that other people can only dream of thinking and its also the way that we can express our self's
3.Apply the power of knowledge
Reflection:To apply the power of knowledge is to use everything you know about a subject and accomplish it. Its to use your knowledge on a everyday bases and to continue learning.This is to be used at all times so that you can accomplish your goals at a greater rate than ever before.
4.Never Give Up
Reflection:To never give up is something many other people should follow since there are so many ideas that are just forgotten just because someone thought it was a good idea to give up. Well giving up is never something good because its showing that you failed at something when you could have just worked harder at it and accomplished you goal.To give up is telling your family and friends that backed you up that they were wrong that you could not accomplish what you set out to do.
5.Find peace and balance
Reflection:To find peace and balance is to find something that makes you complete this could be in the form of a person or a thing.When a person finds this they will be the best person they can be because they won't feel hate or anger at a person but understanding and they will be able to get through the toughest challenges without a problem.
6.Live the Golden Rule
Reflection:Living the golden rule is an important thing because it is the right thing to do and its the most important rule that we as humans can follow.While following this rule you can't go wrong while following it. The golden rule is important because almost every major religion has one that there followers follow.This is the one rule that many people follow because it can change so much depending on your religion.
7.Build and maintain trust
Reflection: To build trust is an important thing because with this when can make it so that the people that are in our life know that if they have a problem they can trust us to talk about it.Maintaining trust is one of the hardest things to do because just the smallest mistake can cause it to vanish in an instant. To maintain the trust of another person one would need to tell the truth to the person that they want to maintain there trust with and try not to be a bad person to them and help them out in there time of need.
8.Quick to listen slow to wrath
Reflection:This is that someone will listen to things and want it over quickly but will be slow to understand it. This could be a bad thing because someone could say something bad and the other person takes a long time to understand it and by the time that do it would be to late for them to do anything about it.This works the same with many things like say that you have a friend or family member that is injured but it takes for ever for you to respond that could put the person in a lot of danger.
9.Lead with vision
Reflection:To lead with vision is to lead with a goal already in mind and to have what you what to accomplish before doing anything. This is the best way to lead because this way you already know what you want to accomplish before anything is started up. I will try doing this in the future by always having what I want to do in my mind.
10.Manage with a plan
Reflection:To manage with a plan is to have a plan ready for use. Now this plan could be for anything as long as you have one that is what matter because with a plan you already know what you are going to do and how you are going to do it. But don't always follow the plan be ready to make changes to the plan because as a man once said no plan survives contact with the enemy and it is also true here and the enemy of this plan is those people that want to see you fail.
11.Do what matters the most
Reflection:To do what matters the most is a good thing to remember because that way we can have our priorities setup straight and know what must be done first.This is also a good thing to keep in mind for when you are in a relationship because if you forget special events in your relationship well boy are you in trouble with your partner.Also I will start doing this in my life by having a planner to be able to mark what is more important than other things.
12.Be accountable
Reflection:To be accountable is to have a responsibility on your shoulders that means that if something goes wrong under you watch or someone is injured that the responsibility of what happens falls on you not on anyone else.This is an important thing because not many people want to accept this but this is something that comes with being a leader you have to be ready to take the blame because the people under you were under your care and supervision so there actions fall unto you not unto them.This is why so many leaders fail because they don't do this and later there followers leave them in the dust because they aren't taking charge for things that happen when they lead.
Reflection:These principles where helpful because they showed me things people who are successful use to get to where they got.This also showed me that there are a lot of things that those who are in charge of big corporations have many things to worry about other than if the company stays afloat.I will try and show people this so they can implement some of these techniques into there careers and hopefully become someone successful in live.

8.When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse.
Reflection:This means that as soon as you notice that you are lying take back the statement that you made and rectify your mistake. It is also a way for you to learn how to learn when you are lying which is good because then you know when you are lying and can stop yourself in the future. Its also important to catch yourself so you don't make a big error and people can learn to trust you more. With this in mind I am gonna try and use this technique in my everyday life so that I can stop lying to people.
9.Talk to yourself
Reflection:Talking to yourself is a good things because it lets us express our ideas in a safe environment. It also helps because we can practice what we are gonna tell someone before we tell them.It is a helpful tool for us to let us be ourselves because we can show our real self to our self without the fear of being criticized.It can help us prepare for a important meeting be trying to rid ourselves of the stress that will come with it.
