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.
