"The best recreation is to do good."
William Penn
Reflection: I think that what this means is that the best thing to do over and over again is to do good. We should always do good and when he says recreating he means to do over and over again. If you do something over and over again you won't forget to do it anymore and it will become a daily thing to do.

It also pays well and is a good job if you do become a good lawyer.

Reflection:  I think that what he means by this quote is that if you have a goal and you want to achieve it you shouldn't let other things get in they way of achieving it, you should do everything you can so you can achieve it, it should be your main priority to accomplish that certain goal. You should also write down your goals so you can read them everyday and that way everyday you can know what your trying to achieve.

    Chromo therapy (Color Therapy)                           
Duties and Responsibilities: Color therapy or sometimes called color ology, is an alternative medicine method is considered as pseudoscience. They claim to be able to use light in the form of color to balance “energy” to a person lacking it whether it is physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental levels.
Salary: $ 60 per hour
Education: You can become a color therapist by applying to get a diploma or a certificate like those awarded by the Vocational Training Charitable Trust (VTCT) or The Association of Natural Medicine (AMN). You can also start by taking short courses that can be used as an introduction to color therapy.

Reflection: I think I would like to be a color therapist because it seems like a good easy job. You also don’t really need a lot of educational requirements and it pays well. A disadvantage that this career has in my opinion is that it is a self-employed. No one can hire you, you have to be good at your job so you can achieve and start your own color therapist business.
