Silence, Industry

So today I followed the virtue of silence by listening to others instead of speaking myself. I try to help my friends and try to make them feel better but I have realized that speaking doesn't always solve all problems sometimes you just have to listen...

This picture shows  that in silence you can hear a lot of things. Hoofbeats, the sound of the wind, the breath of a horse... you can learn a lot just from listening. 

Today I ignored the virtue of tranquility because I got mad about some of the things that are happening around school. I don't want to talk about them or else I will become mad again at a lot of people.

Order, Frugality

Today I followed the virtue of order because I bought a scrapbook to organize my photos from my trip from National FFA convention. I bought a scrapbook kit called Project Life it is a pretty cool thing. It uses pretty much like baseball card holders but they are big enough to hold pictures and they come with cool design cards to help decorate it.








Today I ignored the virtue of frugality because I bought this fancy scrapbook kit but it was worth it. I completely enjoy doing this so I am having a blast!

Resolution, Silence

Today I followed the virtue of resolution. I followed this virtue by actually writing this post today even though it is hard and kind of boring. Nevertheless, I make it through this awful work and I push through and work on completing this task. I am almost done with this I have completed almost all of my posts and it is due Friday.

Today I ignored the virtue of silence because people make me mad and I tend to explode on them so that included my voice so that defied my silence and I failed to follow this virtue.

Humility, Industry

Today I followed Benjamin Franklin's virtue of humility by being humble in my actions. This made me feel happy to see other people proud of so many things. I realized that if I just humble myself among so many people you learn so much more about them.

By being humble you can see the amazing character of many people.

Today I ignored the virtue of industry. I am behind on my schoolwork and they all want me to make it up on the same day but I couldn't make it up earlier because some of my teachers were out of school and this made it difficult for me to make up tests and quiz assignments. I am going to try and figure out this schedule so that I can finally get caught up.

Justice, Temperance

Today I followed Benjamin Franklin's virtue of justice because I have caused no one any harm and I have been kind to people and I try to act kindly to everyone though it is hard I believe that I have accomplished this goal.

This picture reminded me of justice because over the summer I met Senator Mike McIntyre at the congressional building.

Today I ignored temperance, because I ate a lot of food today and though I am full. I am not very happy, so I should have followed Benjamin Franklin's virtue and I may be happy today instead.

Chastity, Sincerity

Today I followed chastity which is one of Benjamin Franklin's virtues of happiness. I am not going to explain this virtue because I don't really think it needs explaining. Anyway you will have to trust me in my saying that I followed it.

Today I ignored sincerity.  I thought a lot of mean things against another rival school and while to me that made me happy I knew it was wrong and I shouldn't think those things. I mostly thought these things while I was at FFA convention which was a blast.

Resolution, Moderation

Today, I performed resolution by writing this blog... I have forgotten the past few days and that is bad. It has been busy and I got back into my resolution of writing in this again.

Today I ignored moderation because I ate a lot of food today and that makes me sleepy. Anyway I am going to go take a nap because I am tired because I ignored moderation.
