quote; of the week;

“This was amazing. I'm doing something I love to do. I don't know what to say, except the wins keep coming, I've had great career and I'll try to get as many more as I can,”
-Ricky Carmichael

I like this quote because it seems like he's saying that even though he's had great success he still wants to keep going to further his success. and good thing he loves what he's doing as well because then he could easily just be like ok i'm done, i'm just going to leave this sport and all the oppurtunites that i've got from it behind. instead of creating a legacy i'm leaving it. this is just an inspirational quote over all.

leadership;

The definition of leadership is the position or function of a leader.

To me a leader is someone that people can look to for guidance. For example a senior or a captain is a leader for the younger students that don't know what to do. Maybe that's why they call them link leaders at our school. They are there to lead or guide the younger ones on their first day of school to do the right thing so they are not confused about what's supposed to be going on. Leaders are very important to have around. Without them people will be too afraid to do anything because they don't have someone to be there and lead them. Leadership is a good trait to have.

giving;

The definition of giving or to give is to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation; bestow

A lot of people especially now when they hear about giving is Christmas. Isn't Christmas the giving holiday? Giving doesn't necessarily have to be something particular. Giving can be something as easy as giving your time or giving an afternoon to help somebody who really needs it. And to a lot of people giving your time to them is more important than any Christmas gift. There’s others ways to give as well. You can give to your local community and donate food to a food drive. You can't just expect others to just give to you. You can't be selfish and you should give something too. I’m sure that everybody has clothes just sitting in their closet that they don't use. Take those clothes down to the Salvation Army. Giving can make you feel so good about yourself. And you won't get that feeling by just waiting for someone to give to you. So help out and give back to your community.

quote; of the week;

“I'm not shocked she ran that fast, ... But it's going to be a tough one for her, because I plan on bringing it.”
--Sanya Richards

In this quote she saying that she's surprised that girl ran that fast but she better watch out because it's not going to happen again.  she was pretty much saying that the win for the girl was lucky and that the other girl better not get used to it because sanya isn't going to allow that to happen. Or that she's just going to train that much harder just for the revenge of beating that other girl because the other girl is probably cocky after winning that race. But it's not going to happen again. This is the animosity I feel after losing a close race too.

hope;

Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best
Hope is something that people seem to strive for.  They always use hope to keep them going or keep them from totally shutting down on themselves.  I guess in that sense hope is something that comes from inside us. Somebody else can't have hope for you. Only you can have hope for yourself.  For example you hope for something better to happen.  So you never hope for something bad to happen to yourself. Hope is supposed to be self inspiring. It’s always something positive. That’s what hope means to me.

quote; of the week;

“Effective teamwork begins and ends with communication.”
-coach mike krzyzewski

In the sports that I’m in my coach is always that we have talk more. In volleyball we have to talk to call the ball and let them know when to take it or not.  In basketball you have to call for the ball and be loud about it too. So they know they you want that ball and you're going to do something with it too. In track with relays you have to talk to tell the person you're handing off to when to look back and get the baton. So it's a really good point that he's making be saying that good team work is revolved around communication. I mixed up those words a bit, but that's what its saying is. There is no such thing as talking too much in sports. Or at least I’ve never heard it before.

adaptation;

The definition of adaptation is
The act of to make suitable to requirements or conditions; adjust or modify fittingly

Like how we change over time. We adapt to our new environment. Or adapt.  I'm not really what else to say on this subject so ya,

the difference between humans and animals

There are many differences between humans and animals. We look at animals as below us allot of the time. We think that we are way better than them.  We treat animals as if they are stupid just because they you can't here what they're thinking probably. Since we cannot communicate with each other then we just automatically think that they're not good enough. That is what I think the difference between humans and animals are.
