Delay Gratification, Following Rules, Being Responsible

In homeroom on Tuesday, we had a discussion about three topics. Delay Gratification, following rules, and being responsible. Each of them have a meaning, and a reason why it has to do with leadership. Sometimes it's okay and not okay to follow them. 

Delaying gratification, is the the ability to resist the temptation for an immediate reward, and to wait for a later reward. It's okay to not follow it because sometimes you might want your reward right away. You don't always need a reward anyways. It has to do with leadership because most of the time we always get rewarded for what we do. But sometimes we just take the reward instead of waiting for a later/better reward. Delaying gratification, something that we aren't doing. Were just taking the reward that we get right away, instead of waiting for a later one. For yearbook we are way past the deadline. Were just taking the reward that were getting right now, instead of waiting for a better reward.

Being responsible is when you have to take care of what you need to do and get finished. It means turning in your work on time, and doing your work. Not being responsible is okay sometimes because we need a break. We need to get our work done to move on to the next thing. In leadership we aren't being responsible because we aren't getting our work done on time. Like yearbook. We are way past the deadline. And we aren't making time to do it. Were doing work for other classes. We need to sgt work done, and be productive. 

Following rules means to follow what is being told to do and to follow it. Following rules is to listen to what is put out for us to follow. Following rules sometimes can be unimportant. It can be not important because sometimes we need to do things our own way, and be creative. But in leadership were putting other classes before leadership. When leadership comes first. We do work for other classes other than leadership.
