                               Joseph B. Wirthlin

This quote is also trying to state that in order to succeed in life you need to be kind because then people would like you more and just might want to hire you more. An example of this could be if I am on my way to a job interview then I am very sincere and kind with the boss then I might just get the job.

I also think that this statement is trying to tell us that we need to imagine who we want to be in life in order to become it. An example of this may be if you want to become an astronaut, well you need to imagine yourself being one in order to actually become one.

                         “Manners maketh man”.

                          William of Wykeham

Reflection: I think that this quote is trying to tell us that our manners are what make us who we are. I think that this quote is also trying to tell us that if we do not have he proper manners in life then we won’t get anywhere because if your have manners one, you have respect which will get you in to many good places in life that can help you succeed. I also think that manners is what make a man because without manners this world would be chaotic and everyone would be choosing the wrong and nobody would be choosing the right. I also think that an example of this would be a mature kid whose parents taught him manners and how to behave but then there is this other kid whose parents did not teach him anything and he is annoying and nobody likes him.
