“Dare to do right.”

-Rex D. Pinegar

This quote is very relatable and is something you may see in your everyday life. Daring is a game where you put yourself at risk to do something you may not always be comfortable with. In this quote by Rex D. Pinegar he is relating to this lifestyle game. Rex is encouraging us to always do what is right and comfortable when it comes to being the darer or the one being dared.  Always strive to do what you feel most comfortable with and never let anything so little effect you in any way. Always daring to do what right can help you avoid being dared to do what’s wrong. Being dared and taking a bad dare in consideration is a way to risk yourself in trouble and being hurt. Daring to do whats wrong is an example of CTW, it just puts you at risk for so much that can have a negative output to others. Daring yourself or others to do whats right is an example of CTR. Daring someone to do something right and comfortable with will make them feel good about yourself. Dare to do right is a safe and a way to avoid consequences and taking the challenge.

A great example that can be shared is, being dared to jump off a roof. Jumping off a roof is very unsafe and in fact very dangerous. If you are being pushed to do this dare, it makes you feel uncomfortable and they start calling you names. At the time you feel pushed and pressured to do something you know you don't feel comfortable doing as well as you know it's dangerous. If you result in doing this dare its a sign of weakness, you let others tell you what to do. To be a CTR person stand up and use your voice on how it isn’t cool.

“ I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he is wrong.”

-Abraham Lincoln

This quote by Abraham Lincoln is saying that he was indeed to try to do his best to reach for what he wants and to help others, but he will not cheat or lie to get what they want. This quote to me means that Abraham Lincoln was a fair and good man. In this quote I can identify a combination of goal setting, fairness, honesty,etc. Abraham Lincoln was a CTR person. To add on, do what is right no matter the scenario. Not everything good will come naturally and you will face obstacles, but you must set to achieve. Hard work pays off at the end of the day. Abraham Lincoln was a CTR person who advocated for himself and for others. As stated in the quote,” I must stand with anybody that stand right, and stand with him while he is right, and part of him when he is wrong”. Abraham Lincoln was a man of word, and he was a good man. Do whats right, because you know it’s right and stand up for what you believe in.

A great example that can follow up this quote is Abraham Lincoln himself. As one of our U.S presidents it must have not been so easy for him. As if I was correct, he did have to fight and advocate for what he wanted to do and reach that level he desired. Becoming president of the U.S isn’t an easy job. Abraham Lincoln is a great example to follow up his quote, he was a man of word who stood by anyone side. Being a CTR person can lead to greatness ahead.
