“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all”

-Aristotle

Education is very important. Facts and calculations play a very important role in our life. But all that mathematics and good grammar do not make us educated. What makes us educated is those components PLUS the education of values and the building of our true character. I can be a math genius but if I have no morality I might as well be seen as an ignorant dunce. Our heart is just as important as our brain. Both should be well taken care of so we could truly see ourselves as intelligent people.

“CTR connects you to happiness and success-CTW disconnects.”

-Mr.Haymore

Our pursuit of happiness must stem from within. We begin by learning that choosing the right is the only way to lead a happy successful life filled with inner peace and opportunities. We then take action to pursue it actively and begin stemming the seeds to a new perspective in life. If I choose the right I will be happy because I know I’m doing what is correct and nothing bad can stem from it. Is hall be worry free. As soon as I start choosing the wrong them the doors of despair and sadness shall follow me because my conscience rests uneasy.

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do”

-Alex Linares

This simple statement concludes that there is nothing more correct than doing what is right. You don’t really even have to think about it. There shouldn’t be an ethical debate as to what one should do. Choosing the right never ever ever fails. The right isn’t compromised. It is what it is and should ALWAYS be followed.

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

-Anon

I think that the ego and pride of the human spirit makes us underestimate the power of peer pressure. As strong as our will is we are almost always inclined to fit in and be well liked.  Constant need of approval from people who we consider superior fills us with hope that one day we can be at the same level and go promptly beyond them. We want to surpass their status in a social level and that’s why we sometimes associate ourselves with negative company. They will influence us in a non-productive way. I rather be alone than to surround myself with people who want to sway me to be involved in illegal activities. Sometimes we need time to ourselves to self-meditate about our choices.
