“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

Alex Linares

I believe this quote is true because doing what is right at all times is a great advantage to you. You feel confident and good about yourself and you don’t have to worry about regrets and mistakes you have made. For example let’s say you go out with some friends and one of those friends are the a good influence on you and he/she decides to shoplift so everyone else in the group decides to do it as well, instead of doing what the crowd is doing you end up not shoplifting and they get caught you will be the one who won’t get in trouble and end up feeling good about yourself. 

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible.”

Ezra T. Benson

What this means to me is regardless of what you are doing wrong, whether it is to impress your friends or just act tough if you do something wrong you are not going to feel right about it. I think an example will be if you steal from someone especially someone you know and you know they are very upset that they think they lost whatever it is you stole. In the end you are going to end up feeling guilty and you won’t have a good conscious.

 “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Theodore Roosevelt

In every moment doing what is right is the best thing anyone can do because everything you do in life has a consequence whether it is good or bad. Doing what is good at every moment lets you get a good consequence and you don’t have to worry about what would happen if you did otherwise. 

Courage

I think what many people today need courage. I have to learn how to have courage myself. Often at times I don’t have the courage to say no to people when I think I should. There was this one time I lend a friend my homework assignment. I thought I was helping her since she didn’t do her homework and later on I asked her for my assignment and she misplaced it. I was upset at the fact that I worked hard on that assignment and didn’t get credit on it like she did. Later on she finally found my homework but I didn’t get the full credit. Had I chosen to have the courage to say no to a friend I would have turned in the homework assignment on time and gotten the full credit. Now I learned to have more courage to say no to a friend. I no longer let anyone copy my assignment. Instead I just help the person out with the assignment.
