"We become what we think about."

Earl Nightingale

The strangest secret in  the world to me is that we become what we think about to ourselves. That is a very true statement. If you wanna become a success then all you have to do is think about it. I think that the things we think about to yourself is all the ambition we need. We are the ones that should decide our future and our life. If we decide to think negative about ourselves then that is when we know were not really going to make something out of yourself. Basically our life and our future depend on what we think of yourself. For example lets say you think to yourself that you are going to be rich, then later on in life you will become rich. But, if yo think about how you are going to be poor  and not become nothing then that will come true because you thought of it. This is a very true statement that probably make all of us think.

"Good thoughts bear good 

fruit. Bad thoughts bear bad fruit"

James Allen

The quote from James Allen states one big topic. Its saying basically if you think good then it will bring good things to you. But, if you think bad then you will bring yourself bad things. Just like the good fruit is sweet then your thoughts will be also. Bad fruits are sour , and sour is what might be the bad thoughts you bring to yourself. I agree with this because it is really true and i know that this has happened to everybody. For example if you think something positive in your mind then everything will be fine and its like your getting good fruit. But if you think negative then its like eating bad fruit. I like this statement and especially that its referring to fruit.

 today i have seen a video about Dean Smith. I knew who this man was before i even watched the video. Dean Smith was a very honorable man. He was probably one of the best coaches ever. His legacy has still inspired people and still lives on till this day. The quote by dean smith is basically saying he didn't mean to leave his legacy he was just trying to do the right hing. When you choose the right, then you will be respected and in some cases your legacy will live forever/ For example lets look at Michael Jordan. He got kicked out of the basketball team in freshman year in college for not being good enough. Now look at him he's one og the best basketball players ever. His legacy still lives till this day. That because he choose the right hing and didn't give up. This quote is very inspiring just like the person that said it.
