"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise:but a companion of fools shall be destroyed." - Proverbs 13:20
To me this reminds me of the types of friendships you can have. There can be good ones that can bring great things. And there can be bad ones that can bring bad things.It's like you get what you choose in some sense. This reminds me of middle school the first week back to school everything was new and it was time to make a choice. When it comes to making new friends in a different place it really does challenge you. It's hard sometimes to choose the right group of friends because you may think there nice but in the end they were bad desguised as good. So what I'm trying to say is that when your choosing your friends think about it first. Think about how life would be when they are invoved in it.  Overall friends are suppose to be there for you and help you when you doubt yourself.We sometimes make mistakes when we choose these influences but as long as you learn not to make them again you'll be okay. So choose your friends so that they have a positive impact on you instead of a negative one.An example of this would be in middle school i chose the right friends. I know this because they always helped me and encouraged me to do great. If i would have chosen bad friends then i wouldn't have the support i had and i don't know what i would have turn out to be.

"Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get." - Mark Victor Hansen
Everybody has goals that we like to accomplish...right. So in order to accomplish these goals we must set them for ourselves and push towards it. In other words if you want to accomplish your goal you must set your ming to it and strive for the best. what i think Mr.Hansen is trying to tell us is that all our goals can be accomplished if we set them and we work towards reaching them. It's helpful to set a goal because if you don't set it it doesn't become offical to you. Yes we all come with goal but after a while those that weren't firmly set drift away from our minds. What we must do is set our goals, think about them, plan them, and await their arrival.If we don't do such things then we may not take it as seriously and sometimes we may loose all our hopes. I like to connect this with a quote i heard before yet i don't know where it came from "what's now our goals, will later be our dreams". In other words if we don't set our goals today we may never accomplish them and may think they were all just one of  our unreachable dreams.so follow Mr. Hansen's words and set your goals so that you can accomplish them.
Example: Ihave set myself many goals before. Some goals i hardly remember what they were. Some goals slowly drifted apart and some became too hard that i lost hope. I'm trying Mr. Hansen's method and i have many goals in which i see everyday and i work towards them to accomplish them.

"decisions determine destiny'' Thomas S. Monson

To me this quote tells me that it all starts with a decision, a choice and whatever you choose will determine your future or destiny. Lets say if you make a wrong decision and you don't correct yourself your future may be affected by that one decision. So i guess the thing that's best for us is to make the right decisions so that our future may be as bright as our choices. This quote is really helpful to me because it's like a reminder that we should always think before we make a decision. Before you make you next big decision you have to stop for a moment and think about it. Ask yourself is this what you  truly want to do or are you just doing just because. I'm not telling you to overthink the situation because sometimes overthinking a problem can make it worse. I'm just suggesting  that you think about it once and actually spend some time on that thought. I'm saying this because you may never know what that one decision can do your destiny. Remember this "decisions determine destiny."Thomas S. Monson.

Example: If i were to make the decision to not do my homework then in the end i'll end up failing my class. so by making that decision i determine my destiny.
