There quite a few things that I really enjoyed this week for class especially the talk by President Thomas S. Monson. I liked one of the poems that he used and it says,

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings; name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done. …
So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged; God is over all.
Count your many blessings; angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

I absolutely love this poem that he uses. We need not be discouraged by the things that happen to us by be proud of the things that go well for us. There is another popular refrain that he uses in his talk and it says,

Accentuate the pos
itive;
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative;
Don’t mess with Mr. In-between.

I really liked this because it shows that we need to be positive and forget the negatives in our lives and look for the good things and make sure we know what is right.
