    “Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.”

    This is saying what ever you do on a daily bases becomes a habbit. So if you do bad things every day you start to get use to it. You need to watch what it is that you are doing and make sure its positve, or what its you wanna do.

    To wish that you are someone else is to waste the person you are. Its telling you instead of thinking of some one else be yourself cause thinking to be somebody else is saying you don't really exist.

  11. “To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.”

    I pick this because I feel the same way. I think that if you have to be someone else then you are not a real person. I can use this when I see someone that isnt being their self or cant really find who they wanna be.

  12. "What a man's mind can create, man's character can control."
    --Thomas Edison

    To me, I think the quote means what ever you want to do as a character, you could make it happen. In example, if your mind is telling you something then you can do it if you truly happen. Another example is you can do whatever you think about yourself as a character.

    Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. What this quote means is your reputation is what follows you and you charcter is what you think about yourself. The way that I could use this philosophy in my everyday life is by not caring what people thinks about me and not letting people put me down and get in my way.
