" if the quality of your life is not what you would wish it to be, it is most likely because it is tied to the way you think about you life." Pg XV
This quote in my opinion explains that if you don't appreciate your life your going to approach your life in a unlikely manor. you might not be the most happiest person and be down. This is a major part of critical thinking because you have to critically think about the choices you make in life. You have the opportunity to make your life the way you want it if you just map out how you want to live it.
" One of the problems with children's decisions is that they are often the result of the "party line" of the peer groups to which they belong. " Pg. 204 Chapter 10
It's is very common to see in college the ending result of peer pressure. Some kids think they are able to function themselves and get into the habit of what other students are doing. Once the chain of their parents gets unhooked and they walk to college not knowing what bumps they will walk into, most likely they will end up doing the wrong thing. I have seen kids do drugs that wouldn't even touch it but since their groupies are doing it, why shouldn't they? I have been part of peer pressure, because you can always say no to something but you can't say never. I promised myself a lot of things when I was younger but I broken a lot of those promises as well. Always be sure you pick the right people to hang around or you might end up in jail, the hospital or even a grave.
