Romeo and Juliet is a romance and tradgey play. This play was written by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet is known as one of the biggest love stories in English literary. It is about two young star-crossed lovers that can not be together because of their family. Romeo is one of the main characters in this play. Romeo is also a very interesting character to get to know.
Romeo is the son of Lady and Heir Montague, he is about 17 years old. Romeo is a very sensitive man when it comes to love. He views love as a very important thing for him. In the beginning of the story, Romeo is in love with a girl named Rosaline . "Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like a thorn."(Romeo,Act 1 Scene 4 Page 2) Romeo says this about love because he is sad Rosaline does not love him back. Benvolio is a close friend of Romeos and trys to give him advice about love. Benvolio tells Romeo, "By giving liberty unto thine eyes. Examine other beauties."(Benvolio, Act 1, Scene 1, Page 12) This means that Romeo should forget about Rosaline because there is a lot of other girls that are beautiful. Benvolio tells Romeo to view love as the physical stuff and not as an emotional thing.
Romeo is a type of person who does something without thinking. He is an impulsive person. A reason why he is impulsive is because he goes to the Capulets house which are his enemy to go see Juliet. When Juliet sees Romeo in her balcony she tells him, " And the place death, considering who thou art. If any if my kinsmen find thee here." (Juliet,Act 2, Scene 2, Page 3) " Alack, there lies more peril in thing eye, then twenty of their swords." And but thou love me, let them find me here. Than dead prorogued, waiting of thy love." (Act 2, Scene 2, Page 3) Romeo is being impulsive because he says he rather be dead than not being loved by Juliet. Romeo gets attached to someone very easily which causes him to be impulsive.
Romeo is also a fearless and courage person. He also goes through all the trouble to be with Juliet even though their familes are enemies. Romeo is showing his bravery in act 2 where he goes sees Juliet at her balcony. Romeo is risking his life, just to go see his love but he does not care because he just wants to see Juliet. Also, toward the end of the play Romeo thinks Juliet is dead so he takes his own life to be with the girl he loves. Not many people will actually have the courage to take their own life for someone. That just shows how much love and bravery Romeo had.
Romeo is not only brave, impulsive, and romantic. Romeo is also considerate beacuse even though Juliet is a capulet he does not care, all he cares about is his love towards her. He is also desperate and restless, because he would do anything just to be with Juliet. He is even willing to take his own life for her.

“Honesty
is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks no merely to
avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless
in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollar and in
peace of mind.”

Forbes
I think this quote means that you should never
lie. You should be 100% honest in any situation. You should always be fair even
if someone is cheating, you should choose the right. Honesty gets you to far
places in life.

“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and
focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.”
~ Phil Jackson (11 World
Championships)
I think this quote means that don’t
worry about what you are going to win, worry about what is happening in the
moment. For example if you are playing a basketball game, don’t focus on
winning the gold medal or trophy, focus on the game and what you and others are
doing in that very moment.
Time Management 8 of 10
Master the moments and you
may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time—classes,
homework and activities—with some family help. College gives you an even bigger
chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all your own. And that’s
a good think since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care
of current clients wile attracting new ones, respond to emails whole working on
a major presentation, or order to tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s
menu.
Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the
present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift &
wander here & there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the
moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most
of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work
smart by mastering the present moment.
