- William Wykeham

Who a person is relies on many things, it could be their character or anything. However what matters most is your manners. Your manners make you how you want to become. When you meet someone you realize everything about them, what you like and what you don’t like. Having good manners makes you a great person even if you are viewed as less. People with the most manners end up having the best personality. Being thankful and kind is what builds up manners and your reputation. I believe the people who have good manners are the best people alive. It's always so honoring to meet someone who is respectful and well educated rather than meeting someone who has the least manners and is granted with higher education. There is always more to a person and choosing the right is never the wrong option.

“ When obedience becomes our goal. It is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling rock, it becomes a building block”

 

    I agree with this quote by James E. Faust because when we hear about obedience we do not actually see it as a willing thing to do. When rather commit some disobediences than obey the law. But when obedience becomes like an ultimate goal, you have this urge of wanting to complete that goal. And that is when our pyramid starts to get taller, once we start to obey greater things happen in life.  So it is rather not an option to obey the laws and obey the people who only want to see you doing good it is more of a choice. A choice you have of either growing your pyramid up or down.

                         We Learn To Do By Doing

                                               

      Even if we fail the first time or if we don't understand it, the best way to learn how to do something is by doing. like this other quote that says "you won't know unless you try." It doesn't even have to cross our mind to try and educate ourselves, since we were small we learn things by doing them. For example you learned to write your full name in pre-school and you didn't even have to think about doing it we just learned how to write it by doing it over and over again. We might be a little slow at first but by getting our hands a little messy we can create a mosaic without even knowing it. So by getting up each day and having a positive attitude we expand our knowledge by going to school/work and learning new things every second.  You can learn the greatest secrets of life if you just put your mind to it. it's not about doing it it's about wanting to do it. So if you want to be a cook you learn to be one by doing what cooks do.

                    “Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy”

The ultimate goal of life is to find happiness, and the one easiest way to find it is by being obedient. Obedience doesn’t just mean to do what you are told to, because if  that was the objective, we would all be going through a wrong path. Being obedient means doing what you are told to do but knowing it is also the right thing to do. You are not obviously going to rob something because you were being obedient, you are going to choose the right and follow god’s will because you know robbing is not right. Even if you don’t believe in god robbing is not right and you know it, so why obey someone that makes you do the bad things. When you do bad you feel guilt and if happiness is what you are looking for, start by obeying the people who choose the right. Start by doing your homework every day not just when you are at risk to fail a class. Start by doing good actions and obeying the law because one day you won’t regret doing what was right. Being happy is the only thing in life that matters. If obeying means being happy be a CTR person and consider making right decisions that will bless your life later on.

                               " Obedience is the great test of life"
                                                -Thomas S. Monson
                                 

    Obey, it seems so simple, but to our nature we are most likely to break a rule or two ... hundred. If  you think about it obedience is a necessary element of life. Most of our lives are spent either at home or at school. In both places we are told what to do and we are in the choice of whether to obey our parents and teachers or to disobey. To our own benefits we aim to obey our elders because that's the right thing to do. But if there was no favorable results to our good actions would people still obey the rules? We are taught to obey because in return we get blessings but when I think about it that way it seems more of a "you give me this and I give you that" action. In my opinion people should be obedient for their own will, excluding the fact that you are getting something in return. Being a good person is not expensive it just takes a little bit of effort to persuade your instincts to do the right thing. At the end of the trip you won't regret a single thing you did if you decide to obey and choose the right in everything you do.
