"If you do what's right, if you live the way,
you'll be taken care of."
~Rachel Castillo
When you make the right choices in life you are creating a path between you and your success. If you put your mind to it you will be closer to the end of the path. All the struggle, hard work, and determination you did will pay off and your effort will decide you success. If you put your mind to it and over come the hurdles the rest will decide itself. Because when you work hard for something you want by doing the right thing your truthfulness will pay you back. Because sometimes people like to take a short cut in life so they wont have to wait as long to get to the end of their path but eventually their wrong doing will eventually hit them and probably hit them hard. But in the other way around when you have patience, determination and by doing choosing the right choices your actions will surely determine your future and you will be taken care of.
"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where goalposts are."
~Arnold H. Glasgow
In football you are always trying to get to the end to the goalposts. That's basically your main goal. Just like in real life your always trying to go down the right path to the point where you meet the end. Once at the end, it means you finally accomplished your accomplished your goal in life. But just like in football it wont be easy. There will be obstacles in the way, like the players trying that want to stop you and take the ball away. In a way those players represent how people are always going to try and bring you down in life, but you have to keep going and not give up along the way.
"Only those live who do good."
~Count Leo Tolstoy
"What's right isn't always popular.
What's popular isn't always right."
Sometimes it can be hard when your trying to fit in and be one with the whole. But keep in mind is it always worth it? Sometimes to fit in you try to imitate what the other people are doing for example it can be ditching school to go smoke. They might think that its okay since there doing it to but is it? I mean your putting a lot on risk. It may seem so cool at first and you may also think that if you do what they do you will fit in but your not because you know its wrong and you know its not the right thing to do. It can be hard to make a decision but in the end its always the right one because your choosing what will help you in a long term like your education, not something that will last for a short term like a bunch of kids who don't know there way from right to wrong.
A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity
"I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I work, and I decided that I would change it."
~Dr. Ben Carson
Dr. Ben Carson is a great example of how education is the key to your success. And its true on what he says. Poverty is just a choice and you can always change that choice. If your going to school getting your education your making the choice to be there. You may not think so at first but your choices and actions determine your future. Dr. Ben Carson came with nothing at first. He was born into poverty, wasn't the brightest kid in his school at a young age but once his mother started to push him more and encouraged him to read books and write a written essay about it he started to notice a difference. He detested it at first but later on he started to become smarter. He then ranked one of the top students in his school. And with that he started to be successful in his life. Became a nobody to a somebody. And he is a role model to others to encourage them to do better because your social ranking doesn't matter because its the effort you put into those choices that will either lead you up or down>

"You can't be right by doing wrong;
you can't be wrong by doing right."
~Thomas S. Monson
This quote speaks the truth. Right is right and wrong is wrong. You can not do the wrong thing and feel right about it. That's just not right. Even though you choose to do the wrong thing at the moment and you feel and think it was the right thing to do you eventually will feel the guilt that your holding within. And of not then that one wrong act eventually will get you back somehow. And you would be hit by bad karma. In the other hand when you choose to do the right thing you will never feel like you did the wrong thing. For example lets say that you broke something in your house and your parent asks you if you were the one who broke it you may feel a bit of guilt at the moment but once you confessed your mistake you will realize that you don't have to deal with the guilt inside of you that you have been holding in. You'll realize that it was the right thing to do and you'll feel good about it.
"Enthusiasm makes the Difference."
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
Being enthusiastic makes the difference. When your enthusiastic it makes you look that your really determined to do/finish something you want to or need to do. And when your not enthusiastic it makes it look like the complete opposite. It makes you look kind of gloomy as if you detest something or it makes you look like you lazy because you don't want to do anything. For example lets say you have an upcoming test, instead being negative about it try to be enthusiastic for it. It will help you. You can tell your self that your going to try hard and pass the test instead of being bummed about it. Because it will drag you down. So you need to look in the bright side of it.
