- Today i showed the virtue of silence, "Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversations." To me this quote means, you should watch what you say because words have a major influence in others. I showed the virtue of silence by being quiet and not responding back to a teacher; even after what that teacher said was wrong I preferred to listen and just stay silent. Even though we might not think about it, what we say can have a major impact in those who those words are meant for. From my point of view, it hurts when others talk about you and when others do not believe you, but the only thing we can do is be silent and keep your head up. No matter how bad the situation gets, it is better to stay quiet and listen because raising your voice or talking back will not make the situation any better.
- Today i ignored the virtue of order, "Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time." I did not possess this virtue because i was not focusing right. I was focused on one main conflict and not focused on making sure I completed my assignments for my four classes. No matter what it is, you should always put things aside and worry about completing your assignments on time instead of worrying about something that will eventually be solved. In order to progress in life we should always take things step by step in order to complete everything on time.
