Man returns stolen cash to Seattle Washington Sears 60 years later

Man returns stolen cash to Seattle Washington Sears 60 years later

A man stole money from the Sears like in the forties. He stole form the cash register. The amount eh stole wasn’t a lot, it was around $20-$30. After 60 years he returned to the store he stole from and left a note with an envelope. It said, ”Around the forties I stole $20-30 and I am here to return them. I have $100 so you can put in your thief account.” This touched the managers heart.

Reflection: This story was very interesting for me because the man actually went back to the store and gave the money back. I thought this was a good thing to do. Even though he took 60 years to show his face and go return the money he still did it. You know he regretted doing that because he actually went back. I think his conscious was bothering him for those 60 years. I mean I know mine would’ve been.

Tips 1-4

Organizing Your Life

Managing your time well is an important element of success—especially if you’re a student. If you set priorities that fit your needs and lifestyle, you’ll have a better chance of achieving your goals. Here are some tips for taking control of your time and organizing your life.

Tip 1. Make a To-Do- List Every Day.

Put things that are most important at the top and do them first. And don’t forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments.

Tip 2. Use Spare Minutes Wisely

When you’re commuting on the bus or train, use the time to get some reading done.

Tip 3. It’s Okay to Say No.

If your friend asks you to go to a movie on Thursday night and you have an exam the next morning, realize that it’s okay to say no. Keep your short- and long- term priorities in mind.

Tip 4. Find the Right Time.

You’ll work more efficiently if you figure out when you do your best work. For example, if your brain handles math better in the afternoon, don’t wait to do it until late at night.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

3) Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. You heart is your internal compass—it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.

4) Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent Soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a dairy or journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

 “You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible.”

Ezra T. Benson

Reflection: What Mr. Benson is trying to say is that you cannot do something that is wrong and feel good about yourself unless you like a crazy person and enjoy being evil. When you do something bad you will eventually feel guilty or have some type remorse. Like for example, when someone trips someone else and then the person gets hurt you will feel guilty and with fault.

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”

French Proverb

Reflection: What French Proverb is trying to say is when you have a clear conscience your head is like a pillow floating and soft. There is nothing in your conscience it’s like in blank. When you have a clear conscience your mind is not thinking and you have no worries.
