Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’

Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politic?’

Vanity asks the question ‘Is it popular?’

But, conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I think sometimes we often question ourselves on what we should do whether it’s making the right decision even if everyone else does not stand by you or to just give in because you don’t want to feel left out. I think we should always stand up for what’s right because at the end you won’t feel guilty that you didn’t choose the right and when you choose the right you won’t need to worry about the guilt because you choose what is right. We might not know it but our actions can affect others whether we know it or not.

“Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it.”

Abraham Lincoln

I’m not entirely sure about with this quote by Abraham Lincoln is trying to say but if I could guess I think it might be that we should always choose the right and understand why we should choose the right. I also think that if we understand that choosing the right is the way to be then we will be good at being a son/daughter, citizen, friend, etc. I also believe that our duty should always be to choose the right because then good things will come by it even if it’s the littlest thing it makes a difference.

“Right is right only when entire.”

Victor Hugo

I think what this is trying to say is that you can’t be half right you are either right or wrong. It’s like saying a kid a half a cookie because he couldn’t eat a cookie before dinner. When the mom ask who ate the cookie he would say he only ate half the cookie thinking that because he ate half of the cookie he didn’t really eat the cookie before dinner. He would be wrong because he still ate the cookie even though he didn’t eat it all he was still wrong.

“That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think what this is trying to say is the thing we might find hard and difficult at first can become easier not because whatever it is you are doing became easier but because you been practicing and practices makes perfect. For example at first I wasn’t able to read music but I kept learning and practicing to read it and I got the hang of it not that it became easier it’s just I had practice on it. And the same goes for piano at first I couldn’t even play Marry had a little lamb on the piano but no I can play The Scientist by Coldplay on the piano I still have a lot to learn because I still want to play some of Beethoven Sonnets and to me that seems very difficult but with practice I know I will get the hang of it.

When You Tell One Lie

Paul Hatch

When you tell on lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,

You’re in trouble up to you ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won’t suspect you

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies you’ve told

And half the things you say aren’t true

And sometime you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep multiplying

‘Till the whole wide world will know you’re lying

Then you’ll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you’re closing the door

On everything good

“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in DETERMINATION.”

Tommy Lasorda

I think this is a good quote because people often quit and think that the impossible cannot be done. I don’t think that is right because the impossible can be done with determination. I remember my friend was overweight and she decided one day that she didn’t want to be overweight anymore. She started running around her block and a month after she got a gym membership. She started going every day and worked out hard. She also started eating healthier and within a year she has lost so much weight. She first told me she had not seen any results the first months or so and she that it would be impossible to lose that weight but she was committed and determined to do so and she did.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”

Henry David Thoreau

I think this is a great quote to reflect back to because sometimes we often forget what we once dreamed about when we were kids. I know that my imagination has gone away but looking at this quote now I see that I can go back to imagining how my dreams will be. I now know I can go confidently towards my dreams. And the life that I have imagined whether it’s having a family, a decent home, and a career it’s my dreams and I should go towards them and work hard to get there even when it seems to fail I should never give up.
