Words of Wisdom from Winston Churchill

" Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever- ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."          - Winston S, Churchill, "Painting as a pastime.", Thoughts and Adventures

               When someone tells you 'don't look' or 'no peeking' what's the first thing you want to do? LOOK! PEEK! If only for a second we as humans have a desire to go against what others say even if it is simply peeking when told not to. The same outcome occurs when you're told you can't do something or you'll never finish that. We in return work our butts off to finish the task. We do anything and everything we can to prove that person wrong.
                Humans don't accept defeat very easily. We will try and try and try tell we 'win' or get the results we wanted. We tend to over do it sometimes in the process of meeting our goal. We are very determined by negativity. If someone tell you 'no' you want to do or say whatever you were told not to. When told 'you'll never make it' you try even harder just so you can throw it in their face.
         
   

Post 9 Dig Into Your Beliefs

Duty to one's family is more important than personal success.

I have mixed feeling about this statement. I can see it go both ways. I agree that family is very important but so is personal success. I disagree that you should put yourself before your family, in less they are pulling you down. I think it's one of those things where you have to see what that situation is like before you agree or disagree. 

1) I agree, your duty to your family is more important than personal success.

 When something happens to a family members you are expected to be there for them, not be at work because you think this project will fix all you problems. You normally drop what you're doing and go help out in what ever way you can. For example, when my mom was in a car accident my grandmother left work then and there to go to the hospital, my grandfather pick me and sister up from school when he could have been making about 3,000 dollars on a car sale and my aunt left work without a word to come to the hospital. They all gave up their job in that moment to help my mother. later when they went back to work my grandmother was scolded, my grandfather lost the deal and my aunt was almost fired but they didn't care because it was family.

2) I disagree, your duty to your family is NOT more important than personal success.  

 If your family is always pulling you away from work for little things then they don't care about your success. Some time a family will openly say they don't think you can do it or you'll never make it to the top and when they say that then you know you need to step back and rethink how you live your life. It's one think to need you to leave work cause a family member is in the hospital but if they need you to leave work to go pick something up from the grocery store because they don't want to leave the house then there's a problem. For example, I just started selling Mary Kay and when I was thinking about it my grandparents kept saying things like "are you should you can do it?" "Make sure you still have time for what we need you to do." and a couple other things. But they were more worried if i'd have time for when they needed then what I needed.

Family is a tricky thing, When you need them they're normally there for you but sometimes all they can think of is their selves.
