Aphorisms (Don't be Afraid!)

Hi Everyone,

  For this week's blog, you'll be locating three aphorisms (see below!) that you can relate to your life and your future.  This can be a pretty fun project and won't take a lot of time.  The requirements:

Locate three aphorisms and FOR EACH ONE:

   1. Explain the meaning of the aphorism

   2. Explain why it appeals to you and how it relates to your life

   3. Illustrate it by adding a photo, piece of clip art from the web, or something similar

**If you get stuck, please see Mr. T or me right away and we can help you.  The addition of an illustration is new this time and while it's not difficult, you may not be sure how to do it.  Here is the quick method:

On the compose blog page, look at the top for the box that looks like a picture and click "Insert Image"   For this one, I did a google search of Siddhartha in images; I went to the website and copied the URL to add the picture

You can also add from your phone if you have an android and the app.. I just generally use a website URL when I need to add pictures; if you want to try another method, I'll try to help.

IN ORDER TO INSERT PICTURES, YOU'LL NEED TO MAKE A NEW POST..... TITLE IT: APHORISMS .. See Mr. T. or me if you're confused.. don't just assume you're doing it right!

Good Luck!
