“Attitude is the mind’s paintbrush. It can color any situation”

Reflection:

I think this quote means that you have an attitude for everything. For example you have a good attitude for school and might like it and you love to learn. And I also think that this quote is trying to say that you can solve a situation based on your attitude for example let’s say you get in trouble but you have a good attitude and you accept the punishment they might go easy on you with the punishment. 

Attitude

                                  Attitude

a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person's behavior.  One example that many people use is “don’t get confused between my personality and my attitude. My personality is who I am, my attitude depends who you are.”  People can use attitude in many different ways. Like your attitude for your best friends can be loving and caring and your attitude for your enemy can be hate. I think attitude depends on the thing or person. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

“He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

                              A Proverb

Reflection:

I think this quote means to choose who you hang out with carefully. Because if you choose to hang out with the wrong people then bad things will come back you. But I also think that if you see on of your good friends hanging out with the wrong people to try to help them to. For example let’s say that the person you love the most is hanging out with the wrong type of people and he’s thronging his life away and saying that who cares it not like anybody cares. Well what I would is try to help them my best because I love that person to much to watching them like that. So remember choose the right people and try to look out for others too.
