" Decisions Determine Destiny"

       

                                                                   By, Thomas S. Monson

          Decisions take a big part in our every day life, you may ask whether if the decisions we take are important. As we grow older the choices we make get more difficult and this is when you start to decide for yourself and make something positive out of the choices you make. In the quote, " Decisions Determine Destiny," Monson tries to show how the decisions we take today will determine our future later on in life. As for the many decisions we have to make every moment we are conscious of what is right and wrong. Therefore, when making choices we have to think stuff through for our own benefits. For example, if one day you are with a group of friends and your best friends decides to try smoking, the decision you take will affect your destiny, if you go along and smoke as well you are putting yourself at risk. In situations like these, you don't want to betray your best friend by not smoking, but try to think it through and choose the right.  We all have the power to change our decisions and change who we are when ever we feel like it. So try to make your decisions matter because you are the only one capable of making your destiny a good one.

                      " Education is the latch key to success in life"

                                                            

                                                                         Gordon B. Hinckley

        When I read this quote it takes me back to when I was a child. Ever since we are small we develop our knowledge by attending pre-school, elementary, etc. When Gordon B. Hinckley states that the latch key to success is education, he is right. For the major part we spend most of our life time in school every day of the week. As a kid you probably heard the fact that you go to school to become someone in life more than ten times a day. Even after when we stop going to school we still learn new things by the people around us who teach us a whisk of wisdom. Something we should be thankful about is that today education is free. Back then the only people who were granted education were rich males. That right there teaches you how education is important for the fact that everything you learn in school is used out there somewhere in the world. Education may also create who we become, for example when you read a book many of them change our perspectives on certain topics. In conclusion, education is not something you should take for granted.
