Compliment boys

What theese to boys are doing seem like a great thing to do. I agree with them, everybody is gloomy theese days and it would be great to have someone to cheer you up. The boys have done something that not many would do, take 2 hours out of there day and compliment everyone who walks past. Like they said everyone has something good about them

I can't remember last time someone complimented me. It was probably some thing where the teacher tells each student to compliment 3 other people. This is kind of bad I think that there are so little compliments are going around. Everyone should get at least one compliment daily. Of course I can't complain myself if I don't compliment people so I could start compliment people if I think they did something good or is wearing something cool or said something nice. If I did this I could make people feel better and get more compliments back.

What really shocked me from the article was that people thought it was a joke or gave them a finger. This shows that people are unused to compliment which is a scary thought really. And if someone tries to be nice and compliments you you shouldn't be negative back because that makes you and them feel bad.
This is the picture i chos because when I get a compliment I feel like I am the only one in the whole world. This picture has a single person with a giant head which highlights it's importance, just like the feeling from a compliment.

Name reflection

My name means bean. Nothing shocking or spectacular. It shows my plain side. The side that listens to everyone and never says no. I like it though. It might mean something plain or boring but if you listen to how it sounds it sounds like the CEO of some company, or the guy who owns Google. It sounds like someone who is successful. My middle name means bear. Totally different from a bean. A bear is a predator, king of the northern forests. A killer. What does that have to do with a boring bean? I don’t know but I do know that the bear shows my other side, the side that comes out when I get exited, happy or angry. Put the cautious bean and wild bear together you get me. A boy of two personalities. When you meet me you might see me as a plain bean that doesn’t affect anyone’s future. You might see me as a loser. But if you get to know me, you will notice how the plain bean and the wild bear, two personalities that blend together to become a perfect mix creating a boy who can be crazy and annoying but when the time comes will calm down and get cautious when stuff go too far. That’s why when it comes to liking my name or not I like it I would say “A perfect mix which fits me great.”

I chose this picture because in the writing I talk about how at first i might seem plain and boring but if you talk to me long enough you can fing the other side of me. If you search the picture you will find a face which is my hidden part waiting to explode when you find it and become my middle name. Happy, Exited, Angry!
POST IF YOU FIND THE MAN AND COMMENT ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK!!

my qoute

I decided to name my blog “The longest journey of any person is the journey inward” which is a quate by Dag Hammarskjold a swedish diplomat and secretary-general of the united nations.



My interpretation of this qoute was that to be abe to know youreself and who you are and at the same time be able to be truthfull to yourself is the hardest thing to do. I agree with this qoute a lot because I find it hard sometimes to judge myself and tell myself that what i have done is hard. Another reason is because people can have a hard time exepting who they are. To be able to say your rights and wrong is inportant and requires a person to sit and think or take a journey in and evaluate what they have done. In my book project book called See how they run by David McRobbie the protagonist, Emma spends time evaluating what she has done and taking a journey inward.

The picture above shows a compass pointing towards the person holding it and is pointing inwards, the most important journey everyone needs to make. I thougt it was a cool image that matched the qoute perfectly.
