“You will go far with ctr.”

-Mr. Haymore

What this quote is saying is very true and important. The reason why it is true is because if you choose the right, then you will go far. You will be able to complete school, and get a good career. You will start your own family, travel around the world, and do whatever you ever dreamed of. You will be able to accomplish your goals, because you chose the right. You will be a happy person, that has many dreams, and you will be able to show others what ctr is like. On the other hand, if you go the ctw path, then you will not go far. You will not get anywhere, because you keep on choosing the wrong. For example, a ctw person will use drugs, and never accomplish anything. That will not get you anywhere, because you are not doing anything to make you happy. If you are a ctw person, you will not be able to accomplish things such as getting a good job, and getting a family. The reason why is because ctw people are lazy, and they do not do anything to make a change. You will get nowhere being a ctw person. As you can see, there is a difference between choosing the right, and choosing the wrong. You should always choose the right, because it will make you a happy person. Being a ctr person means that you will surround yourself with good people, that have a positive impact in your life. On the other hand, if you are a ctw person, then that means that you surround yourself around people that choose the wrong, and are not doing anything good. If you choose the wrong, then you will be lazy, disrespectful, mean, hateful, rude, and dishonest. That is bad because you will not be happy. You will spread all those bad things to other people, and that is not good. In conclusion, being a ctr person, will bring peace. It will bring positivity, and happiness. You are a ctw person by not bringing those things. A ctr person will love everyone no matter how different they are, or where they come from. A ctr person will radiate happiness, and bring love to the world. This is why it is important for everyone to be a ctr person, and always choose the right, because that will get you far in life.

        

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

-Wilford Woodruff

What this quote is saying is something very important. It is saying that is you do something wrong, then nothing good will be gained from that. For example, if you decide to cheat on a test, then you will gain nothing from that. You will just be a person that can not be trusted, and you will be dishonest. To add on, another example can be while playing a game. If you decide to cheat on a game, then you will not be a ctr person. You will gain nothing from cheating. It is going to take you nowhere, because you will not be trusted. One example to show that doing what is right can take you places is in school. If you always try your best, then you will get very far. On the other hand, if you never try in school, and you are always doing what is wrong, and you are always ditching, and you do not care about school, then that will take you nowhere. If you do this, that is wrong, and it will take you nowhere. The reason why is because when you apply to universities, they will see that you are a ctw person, and that you do not try at all. They then will not accept you, because you are doing what is wrong, and not trying. As you can see, you will gain nothing if you do what is wrong. On the other hand, if you do what is right, such as always doing good in school, they will see that you have a bright future ahead, and accept you. Doing what is right will gain you a lot of this, meanwhile doing what is wrong will not gain you anything. This is why this quote is true, and very important to know about.

"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you: Places me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, every so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw chalk line around me and have my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I'd die first." 

- Karl G. Maeser

What this quote means to me is to always keep your word. The reason why you should always keep your word is because if you do not, then you might end up hurting someone. For example, if you decide to keep a promise for someone, but then later break your word and promise, then you will end up hurting the person. To add on, it is important that you always keep your word, because then people will know you as a liar. This is why it is important to always keep your word, such as Karl G. Measer, and not break it. In addition, he was a person that was very well honored, and the reason why is because he always kept his word. This is also very important, because if you keep your word, then many people will know that you are respectful, and responsible. On the other hand, if you never keep your word, and always break your promises, then you will be know as disrespectful, and not responsible. This is also important because always keeping your word makes you a ctr person. The reason why is because you are truthful. If you do not keep your word, then you will be known as a ctw person. This is why this quote is really important. 

The 10 Indian Commandments

1. Treat the Earth and all dwells therein with respect.                 
2. Remain close to the Great Spirit.
3. Show great respect to your fellow beings.
4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
6. Do what you know to be right.
7. Look after the well-being of the mind and body.
8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
9. Be truthful and honest at all times.
10. Take full responsibilities for your actions.

These ten commandments are all really important, because they can help make someone a better person. For example, commandments 6 is important, because it is telling you to be a good person, and always do what is right, and not wrong. It is important that when you make choices, they are all correct choices. To add on, commandment 9 is also important, because it is telling you that no matter what is going on, or the circumstances, to always be truthful and honest. That is really important because if you are not truthful and honest, then that will cause many problems, and you will have to face the consequences. In addition, I think that commandment 5 is really important, because if you see that someone needs help, then you should give assistance. You should also give kindness to everyone, and show respect, just like commandments 3 says. You should never be disrespectful to anyone, because that is not correct. In conclusion, these commandments are all really important, because they are useful for being a ctr person. These will help everyone know what is right to do, and it can help you not be a ctw person. This is why these commandments are really important.  

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau

What I think that this quote is saying is that the only good type of investment is goodness. If you do not have an goodness, then that is not correct. It is very important that you have goodness in everything to do, because that will make everything ctr, meanwhile if you do not have goodness in everything you do, that will be ctw. One example of this can be helping someone out. You are doing something good, and that will never fail you. If you do goodness, then that is great because then goodness will happen to you. On the other hand, if you do something, and it does not have any goodness in it, then that means that it is not correct. You should not be doing anything that do not have any good in them. You should always do things that have good in them, because that will lead you to the correct path. If you do things that do not have good in them, then that means that it will lead you to the wrong path. You should never go the wrong path because that is not correct. In fact, if you do things that do not have any good in them, then it will fail, but if there is good in it, then it will not fail. It will be success. To add on, all ctw will fail, but ctr such as goodness will not fail. This is what I think that this quote means by saying that goodness is the best investment.

“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 saying is that you always have to make the right decision, because it is correct. You should not make a decision because it is easy or cheap or popular. You need to make a decision because it is ctr. For example, you should not do something good, such as help someone out because there are many people watching, so you want to show that you are a good person. You should help the person because you want to, and because you know that it is the correct thing to do. Many people may only do the correct decisions and choices, just to make it seem like they are a good person, and that is not correct. If you want to make the right decision, then do it because it is correct. You should never do anything if you are doing it to get popular. For example, people just may think of fame, but that is not everything. You should never just think about yourself. If you decide to make decisions because you want the easy way out of everything, then that is not good. You should always challenge yourself, and never make any decision that is easy, cheap, and popular. If you are doing something, then do it for the good. This is why you should always make decisions that are right.

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound” (not good)

-Joseph Smith

What this quote means to me is that it is our responsibilities to make sure that we make all the good and ctr things popular, so that many people can know about it, and all the ctw things unpopular. It is important because that way people will know a lot about ctr, and nothing about ctw. For example, if there is a job that has many good opportunities, then everyone should know about that. The reason why they should know about that is because they will be able to have have the opportunity to get the job, which will have many benefits. On the other hand, things such as drugs should be unpopular. The reason why is because they are no help, and all they do is cause harm. It can be very destructive, and we do not want that. Things like that should be unpopular, and things such as ctr stuff, should be well known. We need to influence others about good things, and show others what is correct, and what is not. In conclusion, this quote is saying to make all the good things known, and all the bad things unknown.  

“Character is higher than intellect.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

What this quote is saying is that your character is always what is the most important. Many people may think that popularity is, but in reality it is your character. For example, there can be someone that is very popular, but they do not have a good character, because all that they care about is their reputation. They go to parties all the time and do many bad things, and that is not correct. This is not important at all, your character is. On the other hand, if there is someone who is a ctr person, and they have good grades, and a great character, then that is what matters the most. The character that you have is important. To add on, many people may be what others what them to be, but you need to be yourself. If the person wants you to have a good character, then that is correct because they are going to help you become a better person. On the other hand, if someone wants you to be a ctw person, with a bad character, then do not listen to them because they want to bring you down. To add on, there can be an example such as two people applying to the same job. If one has a good character, and the other person has a bad character, then they are obviously going to choose the person that has a good character, because they do not want any negativity around them. This is why it is important to have a good character.

"I won't cheat" 

-Dale Murphy 

What this quote means to me is that it is always important that you do what is right, and by that, that means that you never cheat. If you cheat, then that can cause you a lot of problems, and there will be consequences. For example, if you cheat on a test, then that is not correct because you are being dishonest. It is not correct because you are getting a grade that is not your. Another example can be athletes. If they use steroids, then that is obviously incorrect. They are using them to be better than others, but you should not do that. You should just play honestly, and that way no one will get into trouble. To add on, there can be many consequences, and they will not be good. The last example can be cheating for a job. If you put false information to make you look better, then that is not the correct thing to do. You need to choose the right, and put everything correct. If you make yourself seem better than what you are, then you will be most likely to get the job, then the person that actually deserves to get it. Cheating is unfair, and you might not know it, but it may hurt others. You may think that you will never get caught if you do it, but you will and there will be bad consequences. This is why I think that Dale Murphy is correct with this quote. In conclusion, always choose the right and do not cheat, even though it may seem unharmful, it is harmful to others.
