"Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have"

Thomas Edison, Inventor 

Your worth is not defined by the value in dollars but by the value in one self. You can have all of the money in the world but still be the cruelest and harshest person with no self worth then you are worth nothing. You can be poor but be a good person and you worth a lot.

When You Tell One Lie

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,

You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks wont suspect you

Then you tell six lies and youll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

' Cause you cant remember how many lies youve told

And half the things you say arent true

And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep multiplying

'Till the whole wide world will know youre lying

Then you'll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, youre closing the door 

On everything good

" The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in DETERMINATION"

Tommy Lasorda 

Determination is to strive and never give up to achieve a goal. There is no such thing as impossible everything is possible if you are truly determined to accomplish it. For example say that you really want to go to college but the first year or two of high school you really didnt take things to seriously if you really would want to make it to a good college and you are determined you can make it. Make up your credits go to college in high school colleges will admire your determination and what might seem impossible to you will become possible.
