According to New York Times, this year voters will decide between two ballot measures; Proposition 62, which would end the death penalty and replace with life sentence, or Proposition 66, which would speed up the executions. There has been many stories about people being murdered, the murderer being put in prison, on death row, but they stay there for many decades. They end up either dying of natural causes, or committing suicide. I believe that California should get rid of the death penalty once and for all. By keeping those criminals on death row costs a lot of money, just so that they can end up having more life time and dying of natural cause. I think that they should ban the death penalty and just give them life sentences. I don't believe that for those people who murder, death scares them. It doesn't. I bet that they are fine with the death penalty, it doesn't phase them. If they were given life sentence, I feel like that would be a bigger punishment, because at least now, they'll have to sit in a cell till the day they die. They get to be reminded of what they have done. Even if they have no remorse, it will come back to haunt them. I don't believe anything would change if people voted for the death penalty to get sped up. There is many of them on death row, and the process takes a very long time. I think that it's a waste of time and money keeping them there. The better punishment would be letting them stay there for life.

My current thoughts and feelings are I am not feeling very enthusiastic and I don't know why. I have been coughing for the past three weeks and i am not even sick anymore. It is annoying. It is barely Monday and Monday is always dreaded. One thing that I can't wait for is Halloween. My favorite holiday of the year. Scary movies on t.v all day, the weather, and warm drinks like coffee. It is the best. I recently went to Fright Fest at Six Flags and it was awesome although it is pretty scary. For some reason I really love horror. It is funny to me when people say they hate those kinds of things, but it's amazing what makeup and props can do. You just have to remind yourself that it isn't real. Hopefully this year can be a good Halloween since last year wasn't the best. It's shocking to think that the year is almost over when i feel like we just started it last month. It's always a bittersweet feeling when a new year is approaching. It reminds me that we are growing, getting older, and that is a pretty scary thing to me. The whole idea of the future is scary. You just never know what's going to happen. I try to not think about it much but it's hard not to. I guess that we just have to go with whatever life throws to us and deal with it.

We recently finished the 6 ways to be happier person in life, and they've all been really helpful. The ones that have stood out to me have been the "Be positive" one and "Be grateful". The mind is the most powerful organ in our body. It sends signals so our body can move and let us know what we need. Aside from helping us physically, it helps us be psychologically stable. A positive mind equals to a happy person. I've been trying to keep that in mind lately. You're mind which is basically yourself can tell you negative or positive things. But only you can control that. It is like a little devil and angel on your shoulder. It is you to decide which one to listen to and to keep. It can get hard at times, but if you train yourself to just think positive thoughts, than it gets used to it. Being positive does really make you a happier person because if you're a pessimistic negative person, then you always expect the worst and think low of yourself. Going over this way really reminded me that it is important to be positive, not only does it keep you happy, but it also attracts good things. It also made me realize that I should be practicing to be positive everyday, and whenever negative thoughts come to mind to change them with positive thoughts.

Senior year has me stressed out. There is so many things due and so many deadlines that it has me stressed out. I just want to graduate already and just get out of high school once and for all. There is only 7 more months, so that's good. Time is going by really quick and before I know it, we might already be out of high school. I wonder if I'll miss it, I probably will because of all the responsibilities that getting out of high school brings.

The thing that i have done since learning to be more proactive is get a job. I think that adds to being proactive. It gives me the opportunity to save up money for the future and for what i want. I will keep the end in mind and accept the fact that sometimes i will want to quit but knowing the end goal will help me stay focused.

"The Six Attitudes of High Achievers"

High Achievers....

1. Make no small plans
High achievers make no small plans. High achievers never settle for the least, they want to aim for the best and be the best that they can be. The sky is the limit, and you can be anything you want. That's why they make big plans, not small plans, because you want to challenge yourself and your capabilities. I think it is good that we do this because it can teach us many things about ourselves. You can set really big goals, even if other people think that they are being unrealistic. If you set your mind to it, you can achieve it. Everyone is capable of being someone in life, if they make big plans for change. For growth and for success. That's why people make no small plans, because they want to see where they can end up with their big plans.

"Make no small plans, they have no magic to stir men's blood."- Daniel Burnham

2. Do what they fear
People who are high achievers always go and do for what they fear. Everyone has to face their fears someday. Even though you can be really scared to face them, it helps in the long run. It can also help you overcome your fear. Once you face them and overcome them you'll tell yourself why you were scared in the first place. If you never do what you fear, you will never grow. And if you never grow you won't be able to achieve what you want to achieve. If you don't do what you fear the most, you'll will have a lot of questions and they'll go unanswered because you were too scared. Great things can come out of doing something that you fear. That's why they are called fears for a reason, it isn't easy but it isn't impossible either. It is something that you need to overcome and face. Whether it's being scared of public speaking, of water, etc. Everyone is capable of overcoming their fears, in result of feeling good about themselves and the fact that they faced them. Doing what you fear can teach you a lot of things about yourself also, so I think if you're too scared to do something just go for it because it may result in something wonderful.

3. Are willing to prepare

High achievers are always willing to prepare for what's to come. They don't wait till last minute to get things done. This is good because the day of whatever it is, they don't have to be rushing to get things done. When the day comes they are prepared ready to go. This way they do the best that they can do. You have to be willing to prepare to get the best results. Even though preparing can be hard, it's beneficial and will help you in the long run. You have to be willing to put in your time and effort in it in order to get the best results. Whenever you have a test or something important, it is best to not wait last minute to study or practice, it will only affect you. You always have to think what's best for you. And just do it. You can't just wait, remind yourself what has to be done, and make sure it gets done.

"Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation."- Robert H. Schuller

4. Are willing to risk failure
High achievers are willing to risk failure. They know that in order to succeed you have to fail. Understanding that in order to succeed you have to fail is very important for high achievers to understand. It is not always about winning. With failure come great lessons that you can take a lot from. High achievers aren't always looking to win. They'll risk failing in order to get the best results. By risking failing, it shows a lot about your character because you're not playing it safe. You're actually taking a risk and perhaps everything can turn out good. You should always be willing to risk failure because no matter how dumb and idea might sound or what other people think, great things can come out of risking failure and not playing it safe. And even if they risk failure and they do fail, you get back up from it and learn from it and move on. They don't let it define them or what they are capable of. That's the way it should happen. So high achievers are willing to risk failure for the best results.

"Be wise enough not to be reckless, but brave enough to take great risks."- Frank Warren

5. Are teachable
High achievers are teachable meaning that they are willing to learn and listen when they are being taught. When they are being taught a lesson they are not like most kids that do not listen to what they are being told. They pay attention because they know that it's the right thing to do. They are teachable meaning that you can count on them to listen and learn the material or whatever is being taught. Usually kids don't listen and are always getting distracted, those kids are unteachable. They always end up getting distracted while being taught so they never learn anything. You should always pay attention and listen because then you gain knowledge. High achievers want to do that because they want to learn new things. It helps you get closer to where you want to be at. They are open minded and are willing to anyone's ideas and beliefs although they may disagree, they still learned something new about someone else. So you should always be willing to learn something new. Be teachable, you may learn something valuable.
"The unteachable man is sentenced to being taught only by experience. The tragedy is he reaches nothing further than his own pain."- Criss Jami

6. Have heart
High achievers have heart meaning that they have empathy and compassion. They have the ability to feel for others and/or help them. There is people out there that usually don't care about anything or anyone if it isn't themselves. They have no compassion for others. They don't about what others are going through because if it isn't happening to them then it doesn't matter. High achievers have heart because they are able to feel compassion over the problems someone may be going through. They feel the need to help in any way that they can. If their help can be of any use then they are happy. I think that everyone should have heart because it's nice to help someone out, you can make someone's day or really provide a solution to a problem that they are having. You can't be full of hate and expect a happy life. You must be nice and have heart and be compassionate towards things and others.

Reflection   

 I think that the 6 attitudes are great to make you a better person with better values in life. They teach you something new that you didn't really know before or didn't practice before. What I commit to do about the 6 attitudes to make myself a better person and become a high achiever is doing and facing what I fear. Just going for it and not being scared that things might not turn out the way that I want them to. Also I'll be willing to risk failure. Not being scared of failing and that things might go wrong. Understanding that to grow, it's okay to make mistakes. Also i'll be willing to prepare for whatever it is that I have to do. Getting prepared raises the chance for the results to be better. I believe that by following these, I will become a much better person and a high achiever. These are the elements in being a better person in life in general so I will follow these 6 elements.
