“I won’t cheat”

-Dale Murphy

Cheating is a characteristic of Choosing the Wrong. Cheating consist of plagiarism, cheating, copying others work,etc. Cheating is something bad and a wrong thing to do. In this quote by Dale Murphy he is saying he will never cheat, therefore he is choosing the right. Choosing the Right is being honest and doing your own work. Dale Murphy is choosing the right by promising he will never cheat. Cheating is bad, because it creates a bad label on yourself and can take everything good away from you. There should be no reason to cheat when there are questions that can be asked to help improve your performance mentally or physically. It is bad in any way and you won’t feel good doing it. Cheating is another way of lying. Anyone who decides to cheat is just trying to get the easy way out. Do the wrong and eventually you will get the consequences.

A great example that can follow up this quote is Dale Murphy himself. Dale Murphy is a professional baseball player. As a professional, cheating is just the only way to get him out of the real game. The real game is when you learn and feel all the knowledge you have for this sport. As for Murphy if he were to cheat and everyone found out, he would lose everything and create a bad label on him. No athlete would desire to do that after all the hard work they have putten in. Cheating is another form of lying, choose the right.

“Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.”

-Benjamin Franklin

This quote is from one of our founding fathers. What this quote is saying is that luxury isn’t something beautiful and useful, what really is something big is a right heart. A right heart exceeds more than luxuries, money, popularity,etc. What this quote is saying is the right heart is the best of the best. A right heart is what will make you move and do more, but everything else won’t. For example, beauty and having everything won’t get you anywhere. Having a great heart is having different good qualities in one. Having the great heart is what will give you the courage to succeed and do more, you work hard and you earn it. Money can’t buy you everything. Looking back at great successors, they didn’t come from a high income family. To be the wealthiest you must go through the hard. Most of our successors today all were poor and didn’t have much. Education and the right heart led them to their success today.

A great example, to follow up all successors today were not high income families. Based on my knowledge and viewings on others, not everyone had everything in there hands today. Having the right heart gives you courage, determination, confidence, etc to go more in depth for a specific goal. Others who have money will most likely try to buy that. Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are truly in use when they are develop in the right heart. The right heart puts you in obstacle that end up with great open doors and success. A great heart is a great heart, money cant help you succeed in everything.
