"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong." - President John F. Kennedy

Australia research

Australia experiences temperate weather for most of the year but the climate can vary due to the size of our continent. The northern states typically experience warm weather much of the time, with the southern states experiencing cooler winters. Australia is also one of the driest continents on earth with an average annual rainfall of less than 600 millimetres. Like all countries in the southern hemisphere, Australia's seasons are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere. December to February is summer; March to May is autumn; June to August is winter; and September to November. Covering a total area of 7.96 million square kilometers, mainland Australia is the world's largest island - but smallest continent. Australia is a country for all seasons. You can do practically anything here, at any time of year. There are four seasons across most of the country and a wet and dry season in our tropical north. There is many type of unique animals which are are one of the many reasons people visit this country.Australia has more than 378 mammal species, 828 bird species, 4000 fish species, 300 species of lizards, 140 snake species, two crocodile species and around 50 types of marine mammal.Australia's boutique hotels and backpackers, luxury resorts and self-serviced apartments, rustic country pubs and camping are very accommodated.

" Kindness is the essence of greatness" - Joseph B. Wirthlin
 This quote is saying that kindness is important in order to succeed greatness. Greatness is not just given to you, you receive what you earn and deserve. Greatness is a really important part of your life because without it you wouldn't achieve. Being kind is also very important because what's the whole point of being great and not being kind if nobody will appreciate you. Nobody will think of you as a good person if all you do is be rude and not care what you have to do to other people to get where you want to be. An example of kindness would be caring for other people before yourself, caring about what other people's opinions and feelings are towards something, and not underestimate someone for their looks or likes. Another way to show kindness would be helping out anyone in need of your help. When you do good you feel good about yourself and what you have done. Feeling good about yourself is also very important because when you have a high self esteem you are more confident of yourself and pursue yourself to do better. When you pursue yourself to do better you achieve many more things so that's why it is best to be kind to others so others can be kind to you and help you out whenever you need help. All this is determined on your choices and what you think is best for you.

" Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. " - Henry Ward Beecher
Only because someone doesn't believe in you, doesn't mean you cant do it. Believe in yourself and prove that person and anyone else that doubted you wrong. You are responsible for your actions. If you ignore the negative comments and try hard to achieve what you are seeking for then you'll get there. Don't use the people who don't believe in you as excuses to not do what you want. You are able to do whatever you want, but all you need is the courage and confidence to know that you can do anything. When you finally hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you, that is when you are able to do anything without caring what people say. For example lets say someone tell you that you are not able to graduate high school but do not listen to them and passing your classes with only A's, at the end of the day you will prove that person wrong. On the other hand if you listen to that person, you might get your hopes down and stop trying and you will actually not graduate and that certain person will win, even though you knew you actually had the ability to graduate. In my opinion this is a great quote written by Henry Ward Beecher. The reason why is because this quote is giving you encouragement on what you want to achieve.

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November. On thanksgiving day people eat turkey and other type of foods like mashed potato's bread, and etcetera. Thanksgiving day should be remembered not just as a day when we give thanks for our abundance, but more deeply and historically why we have this abundance. Thanksgiving day is celebrated in many different ways. You can celebrate thanks giving by being with your family, going to a football game, or go to any other place with family. This is a very important holiday because you are celebrating what you are thankful for in life. You can let the people you are thankful for know that you appreciate them. Not only on this day you can do that, but this is when the first thanksgiving happened. You should be tankful for many things in life because without those things you wouldn't be whee you are at now. Thanksgiving is a holiday you should not miss.

" If it's not right do not do it; if it's not true, do not say it. "
                                                                - Marcus Aurelius

This quote is saying that if something is not true you should not say it. For example lets say you don't like a certain person so you starts talking stuff about them and say stuff that is not true, everyone would believe what you said but it is not true. If you know something you are doing or are about to do is wrong then don't do it. Why would you want to do something bad. Doing bad just makes repercussions in your life. If what you are doing is wrong and yo know it, do the opposite of that and do what is right. Doing what is right, saying what is right is always the best thing to do. The reason why is because if you chose the right, good comes your way and you will always have success in your life. In order to do whatis right you must have courage, Success, doing what is right, achievement is all about courage. Basically everything in life is based on you have the courage to do what you put yourself up to. In my opinion this is a great quote by Marcus Aurelius. Some people should consider it, because talking what isn't true and choosing what is not right can affect you in life now & in the future.

" Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing. "
- Chick Moorman

 This quotes is saying that it does not matter if you win or lose, as long as you're doing the right. For example let's say your friendship with bad friends benefited on losing them if you chose to do the right. You chose the right and you lost your friends but you know what you did was right and so soon you will be benefited with good outcomes. The choice of choosing what is right is way more important than anything having to do with bad. When you chose the importance of winning or losing over the importance of choosing the right there is always negative consequences that come your way. All this has to do with what you want and the choices you make. That is why you must choose carefully and decide what you want before making any move. It is hard to go through obstacles, like persuasion but you have to have the courage to overcome those people who want to make you do bad. Don't be a follower of people who are choosing the wrong. Make your own decisions and good will come your way if you do what is right.
