"You have only ways to do what

 is right. It will become easier by

practice, and you enjoy in the 

midst of your trials the pleasure of

an approving conscience.

Robert E. Lee

I know that choosing the right will always lead you to the right life. With that being said, choosing the right directs you to the right path. I believe this quote is quite explanatory within itself. Simply, it is just saying that doing what is right will eventually become easy. It is just a process  For example, a football player doesn't just wake up one morning and become professional. It is all a process that needs to be taken at your own pace. In life, we all have choices. Wither they be right or wrong, we choose what goes left or right. For instance, we chose to all come to school today, Now we could have ditched but we all didn't. We just gotta choose the right.

" If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true 

do not say it. "

Marcus Aurelius

   What this quote has to say is based on honesty, knowing what kind of person you are, and preventing hurt feelings. We control our actions and what comes out of our own mouths. When they say: "if it is not true do not say it", I believe an example of what they are trying to say is spreading rumors. Spreading rumors is like spilling toothpaste out of the tube. Once it's out, it is hard to try and take it back in and clean up the mess. I strongly and sincerely do agree with the message this quote is trying to send.

Patterson University Students Choose the Right

             

         Four football students, that attend to Patterson University, find themselves into an open-door-ed store one Sunday afternoon. Little do they know, however, that the store is closed and they door was just left unlocked. Now, we all know that ones' first instinct is to steal, if we knew that there was no supervision, that is. Not these guys. When they finally came to realization of what the situation was, they didn't steal any items. Nor did they take any money or wreck the place. They left the store the exact same way they entered the store. Honest.

        If doing right or wrong, in which case, either way, there will be consequences. I know for a fact, that since they decided to do right, they got rewarded for it. They could have easily stole some things since there wasn't any supervision to tell them what is right and wrong. However, they didn't need that. They had their conscious.
