Every time it gets frustrating

and you're tired of complicating

just 

PRESS PAUSE

and think about what you're gonna do

PRESS PAUSE!

Don't get into trouble

by thinking on the double

try to stop every once in a while

don't go by error and trail

every time that there's something bad

there's always good things that'll be had

if you think about what you're gonna do

then the truth will become true!

so

Every time it gets frustrating

and you're tired of complicating

just 

PRESS PAUSE

and think about what you're gonna do

PRESS PAUSE! 

 

 

 

 

2)      Write in your journal about a quote by Theodore Rossevelt

      If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.       

Dont blame others for what happens to you. |It's your fault, one way or another. Like, if you get a bad mark on you  r test, its your fault you didnt study. Dont blame the teacher. If you cant wake up its your fault you didnt sleep enough. Dont throw your alarm clock out the window, then you'll wake up tommorow and complaine your clock didnt wake you up because it had "dissepeared"
