The Right Thing

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

What this quote is trying to tell us is that when we face a difficult problem in front of us we need to be able to know what we are doing, is going be the right thing. An example of this quote would be you find 100 dollars in the floor while your walking and you notice that the person in front of you drop them. What should you do keep them to yourself or turn them back in? I think that you should return it back to the person because it’s the right thing to do and you will also feel good about yourself.  We should know the difference between wrong and right because if we don’t then we may get nowhere in life. Making a decision to always do the right is the answer to your future because it will make you successful.

Be True

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”- Abraham Lincoln

What this quote means is that you should choose the right all the way just like Abraham did, he didn’t care so much about winning but about being honest with himself and everyone else that was with him. Another thing is that he said that he would stand with anybody that was right meaning if they are people who choose the right have have great integrity. The ones he will stand by will also stand by him when he needs them because he did them a favor as well/ but he won’t do it for those who choose the wrong because they have no value and dignity. An example of this quote would be you have a basketball game on Sunday but one of your teammates didn’t come and you decide to cheat by bringing someone else. That’s already making you a person of no value. But if you do the opposite which is play a fair game then maybe you even have a chance of winning because you're doing it with your honesty.
