 * Week beginning August 16th –The difference in success or failure is not how you look, how you dress, or how you're educated. **
 * It's how you think! -- Mac Anderson **

Uni - Being Successful requires thinking positive thoughts and having self- esteem. Sometimes if you want to be a success in society, it matters how you look, dress and are educated. Most of the time it depends on how you think. If you think negatively, you are most likely to fail. Failure only becomes realistic when you give up. For example, in 'Being Me' today, people were asked how you feel when you have high self esteem. Many people said high self- esteem makes you happy, enthusiastic and energised. This is a great mood to be in when you want to succeed. If you have low self esteem, you feel sad, closed up and lethargic [having no energy], so that way you are more likely to give up and fail.


 * Week beginning August 30th –It’s better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all of your life. Sister Elizabeth Kenny **

Uni - The lion is the leader, the sheep is the follower. Lions are brave, unique and fiercely independent and individual. Sheep are obedient and meek. It is better to stand up for yourself and make your own decisions than follow everyone else around just because what they are doing is cool. Be yourself and be unique.

Some people even risk their own lives by being like a lion and brave. There are many courageous stories where someone is being bashed up and someone else jumps in and saves them but gives up their own life... :-(

Nadira - It's true. If you always stay behind the leader's tail, you're doing nothing good. Especially if the leader is not leading properly, letting other people suffer because of the leader's wrongdoing. Step up, guys! Think for yourself, and stop standing there watching others' misery. Some sheep actually just stand there because they think that because they're not a leader, they've got nothing to do with it. Well they're wrong. "The time is always right to do what is right."

And if you //do// decide to be a lion, be the best lion or lioness that you can. Lions lead their sheep into the right pen, where there's fresh grass, clear water and convenience, not to the wrong one, where everything just feels wrong. You cannot abuse the leadership role you've been trusted. You've got to try and be on the sheep's shoes (though they don't literally //have// shoes). Feel what it's like being ruled. As Nelson Mandela said, "It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership."

Ayisha

- It's better to stand up for your self then to stand around and be a wimp all your life.


 * Week beginning October 4th- "Failure requires no preparation." **

Uni - You prepare for success not failure. If you don't prepare, you FAIL, there is the meaning of this quote. Sometimes your luck runs out, but something called //preparation// kicks in. There is no need to prepare for failure, it will come naturally [failure is always a possibility] if you don't have your weapon- preparation to fend it off.

Life example: If you don't prepare for an exam, you fail. When the teacher is talking about decimals in Maths, listen up! Then you will be prepared to ward of failure in the future and replace it with SUCCESS!
