“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it.”  - William Penn

William Penn’s quote states that when everyone thinks that one thing is right, it sometimes isn't. As when one decides to do something wrong and most agree, it doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do. Many may go based on their “gut”, which is what is said to be your conscience. Well your “gut” is always going to try to put you in the better place, all you have to do is follow and listen to it. Once you feel that what you’re doing is wrong it is best try and stop. No matter how much a person or people make fun of you for choosing and making better decisions, always stick to them. They don't know any better, and it's best not to tell them anything. You can just not say anything to try to make them feel less of a person, because you're not going to look or feel any better with what you said.Just try and make sure you choose the better path, because it will all work out for YOU in the future.

" What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as  basketball player."

- John Wooden

 

 

                    I honestly cannot relate to this quote, although I comprehend the meaning of it. I  can see how one can be so good at one thing but really bad as a person. This quote is also a way for us to comprehend and know how we are truly. As you are or can be a great athlete. But would that really matter more than your personality? No, it wouldn't, because people wont see that you show good sportsmanship. When you show good sportsmanship it counts and is remembered, because one's actions matter more than what they can do on the court. If you do great on the court, but really rude no one would be comfortable around you as a person. So its best to be a good person and a great athlete at the same time. 

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad."

                                            -Abraham Lincoln

          Whenever we make a mistake or do something that we know is wrong, we eventually feel bad or notice what we have done afterwards. Abraham Lincoln's quote actually captures the emotion of any normal person and how they would feel about how they would act or the outcomes. It shows that Abraham Lincoln most likely saw through his mistakes and felt like anyone else. To be proud after accomplishing something, to feel ashamed when you know you have done something wrong. Many people deny it not to look or feel embarrassed, but in reality that's how we all feel. No one is perfect, not even a president. And at least one president being Abraham Lincoln had admitted to how he felt towards his actions. I truly can make a lot of mistakes, and in the end I do really feel bad. But when I do something that is good, I'm really proud of myself. That's just how we all are, and in order to feel good most of the time, we have to try to do good. It won't help to just think you'll get away with something you've done and forget about it. In the end, you'll just feel bad for all that you have done and the wrong you've done to others. So, you just might as well do the best you can for YOU and the others surrounding you and your life. From doing this, you will actually feel good and have good outcomes!
