Seminar Response 11-4


Quote
 
"I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private (pg 22)."

 
            This quote from Socrates has a lot of good thinking behind it and is something that I work towards in life. He talks about how you can't buy virtue (value, knowledge, and worth) in society, he says that you have to earn it. So I am following the same principal by going to school and getting an education. I am working towards my future, not just hoping that everything will turn out ok. You are not going to live in a big mansion if you dream about it, you have to work for it and earn it. Even in our everyday lives, you can't wish you had good relationships with everyone, you have to work hard towards it and communicate effectively. What you put in to life is what you will get out of it. If you work hard, you will see the benefits of doing so.
