4th Post

1.Write about the following: In your recent reading, what has your author/main character said that has stood out to you. Something they did or said, A quote, an experience they had that you had a reaction to?

2. Talk about someone you know who either lives by the characteristics or traits your author talks about or lives like the subject of your book. Someone who you believe does what the author says to do/or lives by.

3. Is it important for us to study leadership? Is it important for us to look at what others say or do as inspiration or as an example of how to live or lead? Why or why not?

One quote that sticks out to me in my recent reading is "Whatever talent an individual possesses, character helps that person use his or her ability to serve the team" - John Wooden. This is very true because one person doesn't make a team but they can use their abilities along with the other players' abilities to help lead their team to victory.

Our whole basketball team lives by this quote because they are all very unselfish and use their abilities to not just help themselves have success, but the whole team. This is why our basketball team is so successful - because our players have character and are team players.

It is important for us to be studying leadership because we can learn from others and apply what we've learned to our lives. We can benefit many other people by being good leaders and make the world a better place.

  1. I agree with the quote beacause if a person with talent has bad character it will be difficult for the team to relate to him and that would make it hard to win.
