Decisions

The choices we make right now, does influence our future. Anything we do today does have a part in our further life. For example let's say you choose to not try hard in school, and you get bad grades, then later on you want to actually try in school, but it's going to be to late or to hard to catch up, and since you decided not to try in school , than your behind a lot of credits, and won't be able to graduate. One example on "self-reliance" is that make your own decisions, don't try to imitate another person. You shouldn't copy someone eles choose because what if they make a bad choice, then both of you are going to have bad consequences. Another example on " A sound of thunder" is that be careful on your decisions  you make, because if you do a wrong move or choice there can be a very serious consequences.
