1) Be grateful: What is being grateful? Well being grateful is to be thankful for all the things you have in life.For example your family and friends. Also your health and parents thoose are some important parts of being grateful. But in reality is that you should always be grateful for the little things. Cause in reality sometimes the little things always makes a big difference. Some are young some are old never complain of what you have cause one day you wont have that. So always be grateful towards what is the positive side of something. Where theirs always a negative theirs always a positive. This is one of my favorite quotes out there it talks about a true meaning of being grateful"Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need"Sarah Ban Breathnach. The way i will apply this is by always looking at the positive way of things and even if their will always be a negative. But it teaches me to always be grateful in life for all the great things i have.
2) Be smart: What be smart means is that it best to always use your given knowledge to accomplish your goals. The entire purpose of being smart is not only being smart it how you intend to use it that truly matters. For example if some one needs help with class work instead of making fun of them or calling them dumb help them and give them advice. On how they can better their work or improve it for the better. It also can mean to be smart about your actions and decisions that very important because what you decide can change your life for ever. This what be smart means in my point if view other have a other point of view this is mine. This one of my favorite quote for be smart ( "Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose."- Bill gates. This quote talks about how even if your very smart do not let it make you think that you will never fail in life and that you wont have your ups and downs
this what this quote means to me.
3) Be involved in good work: What is being involve in good work? well let me tell you what it is. Well being involved in good work is as simple as always helping some one for nothing in returned and staying away from trouble it also can be something like volunteering at a hospital or homeless shelter or something like turning in work with out any type of talking back to the teacher but it basically saying to stay in the path of good and to stay away from doing any problematic things. This is one of my favorite towards this prompt "The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today". Elbert Hubbard. This quote saying what being trying to say only in different point of view its saying to work properly today so tomorrow can be even a better day and you can wake up with the though in your mind that all you did the day before was good work and you stayed on good work and away from the bad. So that's why it best to always Ctr and not Ctw for you can be peaceful in your mind knowing all you did in the world is good. So this is what i think when i hear be involved in good work all saying is be a good person and always choose the right.
4) Be clean: What be clean means to me is that to always maintain you're self as clean as possible and also the things around you like your house school and beaches and your home an make sure that you do not litter any trash cause if you do it can have a very big impact in nature but mainly to maintain your self free and clean from drugs and liquor and tobacco so this is saying to stay clean in the inside and also stay clean in the outside and stay away from the troubles of being dirty inside cause of all those toxic things."Delete drugs or the will delete you from this world"- anonymous what this quote to me is that if you don't maintain your self you will be erased from reality and always being dirty inside and outside so that what this quote means to me but has so many meanings like saying that if you're dirty you still got a chance to clean up and try to accomplish that goal to always stay clean.
5) Be true: The first thing that comes to my head when i hear be true is that to be true to yourself and to others around you cause that is a very important part that says who you really are and if you are a trust worthy person or truthful and reliable but also means to not tell a lie cause if you do it means that honestly you are not a truthful person towards yourself and others. But also that if you commit something wrong even if its the hardest thing to do tell the truth cause its the write thing and its just you lying to yourself if you keep it a secret. So be true so every one can be true to you and its makes the world a better place. This quote is perfect because it says what be true really means in a few sentences.“A lot of the conflict you have in your life exists simply because you're not living in alignment; you're not be being true to yourself.” - Steve Maraboli. What this quote is basically saying is that all the problems you feel that you have honestly only because your living a life of fear and lies but if you come out and always stay true to your self things will start to clear up but that's what Be true.
6) Be Positive:
what be positive means to me is that you must always look at the positive side of all negative situation. It also means that you must never be a negative person towards other. Even if they are negative towards you for examples if some one insults you instead of being negative and insulting them rudely you can be mature and positive about it. So it is good to always stay positive in any form of situation. Also stay positive when any class assignment is handed to you be happy about instead of mad. Cause honestly your going to have to complete the either you like it or not so just stay positive. So these were some main reason why staying positive is very important. It makes you the better person and also the world seem so much better that it really is and also be cheer full and happy and always joyful and fun to be around." Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results." What this means is that once you start seeing the really positive side of all that can be bad you can start a new day with being positive.
7) Be Humble
OK so when you here be humble what comes to mind? When i here this it can mean multiple possibilities and more than one meaning to the average person. Here are some of the things i think it means and why they are very crucial or important to what be humble means. Well my first meaning that be humble means to me is that you must be equal or treat others as is and you must never put yourself first. Always put everyone equally and fairly never judge others for how they look or their economic situation and never make them feel less. That is just two meanings but others are that be humble towards the people that has less than you and don't have the advantages you have also be fair towards them and don't be mean. Being humble doesn't me you have to give them everything you own or let them talk me to you it just means to honestly just be fair towards them and true to them. Also being humble can mean to always speak with the truth and only with the truth."Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing."-Camille Pissarro
What this quote means to me you must always see the humble things in everything even if they can be the worst but try to see the best in them.
8) Be Still: What does be still mean to you? Well to me its to always to stay in place and move until asked. But today i will give you multiple definition on what Be Still means. Well the first thing that comes to mind is that when a adult or some with authority ask you to stay still you have to follow direction. Also when you are to active and energetic you have to learn how to be still if not that can be very bad in a situation. Learning how to be still is a very big important part in school cause if you cant learn how to be still that can get you in trouble to. Well I am going to give you my favorite quote towards this topic and how it call give you a sense of what i am really trying to say to you guy's."Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen" -Morgan Freeman. What this quote means to me is that you need to learn how to live your life even if its slowly but live it and don't try to do things that are not meant you age to try to run before you walk. So in my point of view that's what i think be still means others might have other point of views but this is mine so yeah and remember always be still cause you don't want to let life go trough your hands like water.
9)Be prayerful:
What this means to me is to stay in the path of god and always follow the correct thing.
" There they are , nine Be's which , if observed, will bring handsome dividends to any young man or women.They will add sparkle to your days and peace to your nights. They will save you from heartache and pain. They will bring purpose into your life and give direction to your energies. They will bring you friends of your own kind. They will protect you from association that would pull you down and deflect you from your course. This is a time to be happy. This is a time to feel joy and make friends and enjoy the best this life has offer. What i have tried to put forth..... are simply a few suggestions, gained from many years of living, to help you do just that. The world will tell that certain kinds of things will bring you happiness- things suck as popularity and possessions and satisfying your baser desires.If today you find yourself only drifting as a leaf in a stream, get hold of yourself and determine you will do better.
At railroad grade crossing, signs of warning were once common. Two cross arms were emblazoned with the words, “Stop, Look, Listen.” They meant that a train could be roaring down the tracks and you had better be alert. I was riding a train in the. Midwest years ago. I looked out the window to my left. A road parallel to the tracks. A car with a boy and a girl was speeding down the road a little faster than the train. The car moved ahead until I can no longer see it. Suddenly, the locomotive whistle sounded and the train screeched to a halt as the brakes gripped the wheels. We looked out the window on tot he other side. There was a mangled car. Police cars soon converged, followed by the ambulance. The boy and girl were both dead. The road they were traveling crossed the tracks. They did not stop, look, or listen. It all happened in a instant.
The better way to Be is the way of these nine Be's.
The years will inevitably pass, and pass quickly. today is your day of resolution. Promise yourself to make something good of (your) precious life."
