"Success depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character." — Arnold Palmer9/26/2016 This quote is very accurate. Most of the richest people in the world got rich from a business or some kind of investment. It's less about how strong they are physically, than how strong their mind is. What that means to me? It stresses the importance of decisions and how you think about life. You can't get through life with just your body. Your brain is what runs that body and you need it to be successful. You can't make good decisions about your financial future or your future at all without the brain power to think about that. That is the reason people encourage higher education and schooling. It very important to have a good mental state to be successful at life.

Summer of 2016 I mostly worked. I started working at the end of June. I lifeguard for an indoor pool in Royal Oak. It has been a great experience because a lot of stuff happened. Almost all of our lifeguards left and me and a few others had to keep the pool going through this rough patch. Other than work I mostly played video games, trying to enjoy the last year of being in high school. Before being bombarded with bills and more responsibilities than ever. I really enjoyed this summer because with all the work I did I got enough money to build my own computer. It took about a week for all the parts to arrive. I was supper exited to build it and see what it could do. This computer really pulled me in and took a bunch of my summer. Of course I did all the typical summer things too, like go to the pool, go to the beach and sleep :P. It was a nice summer.
Being scared of what you can't do is a huge disability. It might not seem as if it is, but when you set your mind on what you want to do, you accomplish so much more. Someone who is scared to death of failure and disappointment is someone who will struggle. To learn in life, you have to fail. Not in every case, but most cases you learn from your mistakes. If you are scared and don't try new things and experience a new part of the world, its like that part didn't even exist. You are trapped in a bubble you have created for yourself, with fear and regret. Go out there and do what you want to. Don't be scared of failure or disappointment, go out there and do it. Go try for the football team, join art club, run a marathon, do whatever you want. The only thing that's stopping you, is YOU.
