Create It

"The best way to predict your future is to create it."

                            -Charles Ketterer

As your future is what no one knows entirely about, you can only start to build it. With your actions, and choices you build what your future is going to be like.

" Ask yourself if it is right or wrong and act accordingly."

-Otto Graham, Jr.

This quote shows how one can know from right or wrong. Each person has the knowledge and capability to know what to do. As Otto Graham shows this through the quote, he tries to speak to everyone. Being raised in a household with manners as a child, everyone learns through their parent's actions. Leaving you to grow up learning right from wrong, it allows you to grow better and more as a person. Your own judgment is what decides the outcomes or consequences of your actions. Choosing the right allows you to have a easier life and less things to worry about. But if you choose to make the wrong decisions, it leaves in a tougher and more difficult place as before.

"Act well your part; there all honor lies."

                              -Alexander Pope

When acting on your part, always see that it is a good thing. As Alexander Pope had showed us in this quote. As it shows that your actions are what leave you with your reputation.
