Believe in yourself!

This blog is on what Robert said about self reliance. I agree with him 100%. You gotta take risks and believe in yourself to make your life better. He said that if you don't think your gonna make the team for a sport and you try out and make it you made a big difference in your life. Now you know your good enough for whatever it is. Just go out their and believe that you can do it.

My Emerson.

What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think means that everything you do only concerns you. You shouldn't care about what other people think.

Journal entry!

On a scale 1-10 That Emerson is right. I would give him a 10 because he says what I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. What hes trying to say about this is that what he does concerns him not what the people think about what he did. He could care less. Also he says society is a wave. This is a good one because it's true society is a wave and you never know when it's gonna be a low wave or a high wave.

Letter to my mentor!

My Letter is to my dog.

  My big question is why do you like to bark at the mail man?

Anyone can be walking by our house and my dog will be just fine but once the mail man comes by he loses it. I don't know that it is maybe the hat he's wearing or the bag? When someone knocks on the door he  might bark once or twice and that's it but for the mail man he barks until he's gone. Just a little curious on this subject.
