Guitar Hero or Dance-Dance, which is better? Well of course it’s Guitar Hero. It doesn’t tire you out like DDR, and it’s just as easy to play if not easier. It’s songs are much more well known and are sung by the original singers rather than the famousish songs on DDR that are sung by people you’ve never heard of or care about. Guitar Hero is much easier to learn to play on the harder levels and the game relates to the music much more. Dance Dance does have more games and songs to choose from, but a lot of the songs are too difficult or too easy and some don’t even interest the dancer. Although this also applies to Guitar Hero, it’s on a much smaller scale and doesn’t affect the player as much. When people choose to play one of these video games, Guitar Hero should always be the first choice.

Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.  

                                                                                     Proverbs 17:28 
People are too outspoken. They rarely think about what they are going to say or what it could mean to those they say it to. Things are thrown out into the open where they are neither needed nor wanted and once they are out they won’t be allowed back in. The ”verbal diarrhea” of the world is at an all time high. Friendships and relationships can be destroyed by a simple phrase or sentence that was not meant. Another part of the world’s lack of discernment when speaking is gossip and rumours. We talk about others and make up lies to satisfy our own needs for attention. Then things get spread around and eventually hurt the person involved whether the rumour be true or false. Secrets are rarely kept and trust is very non-existant in a world that encourages the degrading of other people through the use of celebrity tabloids and media. Words are very powerful things and shouldn’t be taken as lightly as they are now. Watch your words for they have consequences.

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.” Frank Outlaw

Knowledge and wisdom are sometimes confused with each other. They’re sometimes thought to be the same thing or coinciding things. By definition, knowledge is the fact or state of knowing. Wisdom is knowing what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action. In simpler terms, knowledge is knowing the facts and wisdom is knowing what is right and what is wrong. They may not seem different when you look at them, but when you ask people who pursue one of them, they will tell you the difference in clear detail. I guess some people don’t know the difference because they don’t care about either. If neither matters to you, then you probably won’t or don’t have a very happy life. Knowledge and wisdom are some of the most important things a person can have, pursue them.

You prove to your parents that you’ve learned something through actions. If you’ve talked about nonconformity in your class and it affected you, then your parents should notice a change in your behavior from conformist to nonconformist. If you talk about feminism in the past and women demanding respect and rights, you may have a change in attitude towards females. You can’t prove you’ve learned something through talking because when you talk you can lie and just repeat what was discussed in class. In order to prove that you’ve learned something, your parents have to have an open mind. You may have gotten nothing out of the class that you were meant to learn, but you may have learned a ton of things through thinking things in the class. Proving you’ve learned something takes work on both sides, but it can be done.
