                  "what's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right ."




ALBERT EINSTEIN 

Example: Smoking was very popular earlier in time, but it wasn't healthy. 

Reflection: What this quote is saying, is that even if the majority is choosing to do something, it doesn't mean that the great quantity of people can't be wrong. In other words, numbers shouldn't affect the ethics of the situation. Just because the number of people choosing the wrong can be great at times, doesn't mean that they are then choosing the right. Be the person to go against the crowd if you know you are choosing the right. Be the maverick who defends their position against the conformists who choose the wrong. Choosing the right no matter what the situation, will make you a better person. Choosing the right in a situation where all odds are against you won't be the popular choice, but your conscience will be clear. Don't conform to something you know is not right, or that you aren't sure about. Be sure to abstain from choosing the wrong and all of the pressure. If society's expectations follow the path of choosing the wrong, then don't act according to those limitations. You are your own person, so make the decision to choose the right on your own if you have to.

                     "you can't be right by doing wrong you can't be wrong by doing right."

Thomas S. Monson

I agree with his statement because when you do the right thing you know it feels right.When you do something wrong you no its not right.When you do the right you feel happy and feel integrity.You know its right because you don't get in trouble.Also people appreciate what you did and sometimes your rewarded.When you do something wrong you feel horrible.You knew it was the wrong thing to do but its to late.You get punished and you have to pay the consequences.That's when you feel bad and you start regretting what you did that was wrong.That is why you have to do what is right in order to be a better person.Always choose the right.

                                                "Enthusiasm makes the difference."

                                                    Dr.Norma Vincent Peale




      I agree with Dr. Peale the difference between a winner or a loser is their enthusiasm toward what it is that their doing. You have to want to do what your doing, you have to be excited. That's the only way you'll keep wanting to do what you do. You have to keep it interesting because if not then you'll get bored out and quit. What separates the good with the bad is not only hard work but also their passion for what their doing. Passion can open a lot of doors for what your trying to accomplish. Passion is what makes the difference from being successful and not. Like for example if your parents keep telling you to go to soccer practice but you really don't want to. Then you won't ever succeed in soccer because your not passionate about it. Your not willing to sacrifice stuff just to do that one thing.

Dean Smith


I agree with his quote because he is a person who does what is right.He has a good character.He is kind,careful and has a good personality.When he won the title he went to say good game to the other coach.He could of just ran and celebrated with the team.He decided to do what was right.He was generous and nonjudgmental.He had colored basketball players and he didn't care about their skin color, he just cared about the person they were.He was a ctr person 24/7.Also the basketball players like Michael Jordan.He only did what was right.

its about how to lead your life.
If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY.
The karma (destiny, fortune, good luck )
with take care of itself the dreams will come to you "
Dr. Randy Pausch 

I agree with his quote because it is important to lead your life.You have to manage and control your life.You control  your body to do what is right.You have to do what is right.If you choose to lead your life the right way you wont have to worry about anything that is bad.You can be rewarded.You will feel good and people will appreciate you.If you choose to lead your life the wrong way you will not feel happy.You will be punished people wont appreciate you and there will be consequences.If you lead your life the right way you will be a ctr person.

                                         "when you tell one lie, it leads to another"        
  

I do agree with this saying because it is pretty true in some situatuions. For example if you lie in a really big problem that lie can lead to many conflicts. Those conflicts can lead to problems in family, friends, marrige and etc... So yes I do think its important to be honest especially in a really bad situatuion it doesnt matter how bad is it just have the guts to say the truth. Even though the majority of us say "Always be honest" we really dont do it and I am one of those type of persons. However if it is a really messed up problem then yes I'd think I'd be honest.
