Way to be
9 ways to be Happy and Make Something of your life
Gordon B. Hinckley
1. Be Grateful
To be grateful means feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness; thankful. For example I'm grateful for having an amazing family that always supports me. People can be grateful for many things whether its something big or small. If you're grateful that means like you're thankful or you're showing appreciation. Everybody should have something or someone to be grateful for.
" Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful."
-John Wooden
2. Be Smart
Being smart can mean many things for example you can be street smart or can you can be smart in school. Some people know lots about certain like a subject like math but maybe they aren't so good with science. I think everybody has knowledge and smart at certain things but with others maybe they aren't. Every body has flaws no one knows everything but some people do know more than others. People that are smart will usually know what the right choices are, and will make that choice. Like going to school everybody, pay attention, do all class work and home work is smart because that can get you good grades and with good grades you can got to a college and have a carrier. Not only that but going to school that help you obtain knowledge on many subjects which help you be a smart person. Sometimes smart people can be lazy and don't do their work or make wrong decisions. Be a smart and choose the right and many good things will come your way. Make smart choices and your future will be good.
"A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether."
3. Be Involved in Good Works
Be involved in good works means to do be apart in good helpful activities. It can be anything like exercising or helping out other people. Being involved in good works can be like help raise awareness towards something. It can be like with breast cancer awareness like when people were pink. Also doing charity work to help out the community. It can be cleaning up a certain area or help build something that can benefit others like a community garden. Also it can just be to help those in
need. It can be old, young, friends, family, or just people you don't know who can use an extra hand. Also donating money is a good work. If you are involved in good works you are a good person. You don't loose anything from it people well respect you and later there will be someone there to help you. Being involved in good works is always good to keep you choosing the right.
"The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today."

You don't always have to be still sometimes there are times when you have to make some noise.

Be still most of the time and when you aren't its because you're doing the right thing.
