“Right is right when entire”

-Victor Hugo

Choosing the Right is the good path to always making and planning good decisions that can affect you positively in the future. This quote is saying that no matter you tell the truth, you still miss that one part which is still considered bad, the saying will still be considered a lie. The truth is only the truth if it is sayed full and complete. The truth is being able to say something without the hiding of anything bad, the truth is being honest with each others. Telling the truth is being honest. Therefore, telling the truth is just one characteristic of being a CTR person. Being a CTW is telling partial truth, which is wrong. Telling the truth will lead you into grateful things, it can lead you to avoid harmful situations. For example, it can exceed you from getting in trouble for an action you may have not committed. Telling the truth as a whole is right, because it is being said entirely true.

A great example to follow up this quote is being a CTW person when given the trust and honesty of one another. For example, taking credit for other people idea without giving credit to the actual person. To continue, when taking credit of another is being somewhat truthful. Why? Because, when you take someone else's idea it it’s partially your idea as well, but you don’t give half the other credit to the other. Anyways, choosing the right will give you a right path ahead of you and avoid different situation. Keeping the honesty and trustworthy others have for you is a great way to keep by using the truth.

“In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalpost are”

In football in order to score some points in your team you need to get the football to the goalpost. The goalpost in football is our goalpost in life. Also, it explains that if you do not know or have any goals in the future you won’t reach your goals and achieve them. The goalpost is our main thing we need for our future achievement. In this class our goal post can be reach from our goals journal. Our goals journal is our set and a step closer to reach and score in the goalpost.

“Even if everyone is doing it, WRONG IS NEVER RIGHT.”

-Russell M. Nelson

This quote is very clear stated, what this quote says is being a follower isn’t going to do much good for you. Doing what is not the correct thing to do will never be the right thing to do, even if everyone is doing it. Russell quote is very well stated and it does apply to a lot of what happens in the world today. As said by Mr. Nelson, doing what others do will never be the right thing to do. Doing what others do, especially if you know it’s wrong, will never make it the correct thing to do. The only thing it will do is just make the problem a bigger thing to handle. Choosing the wrong will always be wrong, even if millions of people will do it. We live by a set of rules and laws that contribute to the best for us, if not followed it can cause us problems leading to consequences. Choosing the right will never be considered wrong. Being a CTR person will lead you to a path of greatness. Don’t be a bad follower and do what you know is best.

A great example that would fit in this situation is peer pressure to do drugs. Doing drugs will always be bad, you doing it will not make it any better. Peer pressure isn’t always the brightest thing in the world, but we need to control it. Being peer pressured to drug is an act of CTW. In this situation you are forcing someone to do something they shouldn’t and you are encouraging them to do something that is wrong. The best thing to do is this situation is ignore it, walk away, etc to not commit an act of wrong.Who cares if everyone is doing it, wrong will never be considered right.
