Resolution
The virtue of resolution, as defined by Benjamim Franklin, is resolving to “perform what you ought and performing without fail what you resolve.” In other words, we are to act and do things in accordance with our values and beliefs. And once we decide to do something, and commit ourselves to doing it, we are to finish what we started, without failure.
Franklin's theory on the virtue resolution was that once it became habitual, he would remain firm in obtaining all his other virtues. This can also be applied particulary to work and education. Once we make resolution a habit in our lives, we will have more success in attaining our goals whether they are work related or personal.
Nowadays, there actually exists a specific day that people make resolutions to follow all year long. That day is January first, New Year's Day. On this particular day, it is common to set goals and make the resolution to use habit and commitment to achieve those goals by the end of the year.
Resolution is important in all aspects of our lives, especially when making goals. If we have determination, we will have the force to accomplish all of our goals.

Order
Order is related to the way things are organized. Things must have their places and a schedule must be kept to avoid wasted time.
Franklin chose his third virtue expecting it would allow him more time to attend his projects and studies.
Nowadays, even after more than 200 years since Franklin's self-improvement system has been published, people still use the same administration patterns.
We have computers that help us do any kind of work faster, but if we don't follow the principles of being organized , we'll lose track of time management.
Order is a great virtue. In the past or today, certain social, professional and personal rules are still in force. To be successful in any kind of business, appearance, speech and conduct are important qualities to have.
It´s mandatory to be organized during times when people have to be aware of anything related to the company they work for and be able to do many things in a short period of time.
From the president to the secretary, it is expected that everyone work focused on the same ideal, principal and target.

Os projetos
Hi,
Estes são os dois projetos que gostaria de executar com meus alunos. O primeiro é uma 'classic video game night' com os meninos regada a cerveja, pizza e inglês.
O segundo é um churras para todos. Também com inglês e, convenhamos, uma oportunidade perfeita para conhecer aquela pessoa... =)
Agora, sem vocês não dá pra fazer nada disse. Espero idéias.
Abraço.

Silence
Silence is golden, a very popular slogan, suggests that people should not use the gift of word unless it is for something benefitial. The virtue of silence isn't being mute, but rather speaking only when necessary.
Very early in life we learn to speak and, as soon as we learn our first words, speaking becomes a habit and sometimes a mania. When we are small, everything seems to be so funny and we are stimulated to talk about what we want and feel. We learn more and more words as we grow older and communication is done mainly by speaking.
We may talk on the telephone, radio and through computers. Technology is becoming sophisticated and the human voice can be heard on all kinds of machines, such as answering machines, walkie-talkies, toys, computer programs, etc.
In order to better communicate with others, we even learn to speak other languages, which makes mankind the most communicative being on Earth.
Even though we learn early to speak, silence is a virtue we sometimes take too long to learn. Silence is an important virtue when we desire to gain knowledge, considering that in a conversation, knowledge is obtained by listening rather than by speaking.

Temperance
The word temperance means self-control. This virtue is about maintaining correct and acceptable balance in one's temperament. It is too hard to deal with highly temperamental people. Temperance plays a fundamental role in all aspects of our lives. Our actions are smoother and more productive when interacting with temperance. It's rewarding to be in control of ourselves and see things flow and succeed as a result of a well planned goal.
Temperance is having control of body, mind and emotions. The equilibrium of these aspects of our being gives power to master our self-control. Pay close attention to the way you speak, the words you use, your tone of voice. People with high hostility scores experience a higher rate of heart disease and do not succeed in interacting well with others.
Concentrate your thoughts on profitable ideas. Controlling what we say, do or think plays an important role when negotiating or setting goals.
