“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”                                                                                   

                                                                               - Theodore Hesburgh

What this quote is trying to tell us is that we need to make decisions wisely because they are important in life. We need to be serious when it comes to making decisions because if we don’t we can have big problems. We make decisions because they are the right thing to do even if it's hard for you believe them but their real. An example of this quote would be you’re at a party and your friends invite you to drink with them. But you know it's not the right thing but then again you will be cool like them. So you’re stuck making a decision that can affect your life or maybe not. I suggest you to not accept the drink because you will be protecting your body and because it’s the right choice. Making decisions can be hard to make but we need to know what is going to be best for us and for others around us. Don’t go the wrong path because you made a bad decision but go to the right path because you chose the right.

“Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly”- Otto Graham, Jr.

What this quote is trying to tell us is that we should question our self everyday and think about right and wrong. Should we decide to choose the wrong or choose the right. Another thing is that we need to act mature when it comes to choosing the right or wrong. We need to think twice before we take action because then we may commit a mistake and it will lead us to consequences. An example of this quote would be you go to a party and you see your friend drinking. What should you do go ahead and drink with him or just back away from the drinks that contain alcohol. I think that it would be best if you just stay away and act appropriate because you know that drinking without supervision is choosing the wrong. Everyday we wake up and wonder what should we do today and the first thing that should come to mind is to choose the right all the time. Choose some friends that are mature and honest with you because those are the ones that always choose the right.

“If you do what’s right, if you live the right way, you’ll be taken care of- Rachel Castillo

What this quote is trying to tell us is if we decide to choose the right we will be in good hands because we have done some good things. Another thing is that we should live a life where we will be able to choose the right because that's the right thing to do. An example of this quote would be you find a bag lying down in the park and you realize that it has a lot of cash in it, maybe around 10,000 dollars. What should you do, take it with you or call the police to help you find the owner that left it there. I believe that you should advise the police so that they can help. If you do decide to get help then that means that you have chosen to choose the right because you knew what was best for you. We need to learn that going the right path will always lead to something good and there will always be someone to take care of you. Never go to the wrong path because we will end up paying the consequences.

“Right is right only when entire”- Victor Hugo

I think this quote is trying to tell us that right is right only  when we tell the whole true without leaving out any blanks. Even though we want to say the whole truth we need to because you got yourself into the mess and now you have to pay the consequences. Another thing is that we need to know how to choose the right if we want to be right. An example would be, you ask your mom to let you go and hang out with your friends and she says yes. But you have to be back home by 10:00 pm and you’re like sure. Once you’re with your friends you guys decide to go to a bar where you see that drinking is going on. So you guys go on ahead to drink too. Once you arrived home you realize that you made it even before 10. Then your mom comes and asks you what did you do this evening and you tell her, oh we just went to get some food and play a few video games. But in reality you knew that you weren’t doing anything good and now you just lied to your mom. We need to tell the truth because that's the only time when we will be right unless you want to go the wrong path and be wrong all the time.

                        

Wrong is never right

“Even if everyone is doing it, wrong is never right”- Russell M. Nelson

What this quote is trying to tell us is that you can't do something wrong and think that you’re doing the right thing because in reality you’re not. You can also hurt someone by choosing the wrong and you're not realizing because you don’t want to or you think it is the right thing. An example of this quote would be your with you’re friends down the street and you see them spray painting the wall and they ask you to join them because they say nothing bad will happen. What should you do? Back away or go ahead and join them. I think that you should just back away and leave them because if you join them you’re going to hurt yourself and lead yourself to the wrong path. Doing something wrong doesn’t always mean that you’re right. Don’t let yourself be talked into something you know will affect you because wrong is never right. So choose the right and make wise choices everyday.

“ You can’t be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right.”- Thomas S. Monson

What this quote is trying to tell us is that you can’t be right when you choose the wrong and you can’t be wrong when you choose the right.  So in order for us to always be right we need to choose the right because that’s the best for all of us. An example would be you’re at the store with your friend but she decides to rob something, do you think she is doing right when she is wrong. One last example would be you are a smart student and you know what is best for, so you decide to go home and study for your test. That tells us that you can’t be wrong when you chose to do the right thing. We need to be able to distinguish what bad and good means because if we don’t know it can lead us through the wrong path. Always remember that when you do a mistake you won’t always be right but if you don’t do a mistake then you will be right because there is nothing you committed that lead you to consequences. Choose the right everywhere you go.

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."- William Penn

What this quote means is that, when something is meant to be correct/good people are against it. But when something is bad and we know it is we still go for it. This quote is trying to tell us how we always decide to choose the wrong way over the good way. For example, the whole school is against uniform policy but the teachers and school believe that it is a good thing to have uniforms in school, even if we are against it. Another example is, your at a party and you see people smoking and drinking but you know that this can cause harm to your body. What do you do, you go along with it or stop them? But your answer will be to go along with it because that is an easier choice to make and you know this is wrong to do. We should always make the right choices, even if we believe that they aren’t meant to be right. This is better than knowing that the wrong things can cause problems in your life when you decide to go along with it. Be a CTR person even if you don’t believe that it is the right thing to do. But once you realize it you’re going to be proud of yourself and you’re going to be chosen over the bad person.
