"If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I'm going to succeed"    - Dan Dierdorf

I agree that if you have a goal you should pursue it. You should follow what YOU want to do and everything else will just fall into place. You should do what you want to do. What you like to do and pursue that. Maybe at first things don't seem to bright, but it will happen. Just give yourself Time and everything else will happen. If you do the right thing while pursuing that, good things will come back. Doing the right thing will not only be helping others, but it will also happen to you and you too will receive good things.  This is why it is never bad to do the right thing, Doing the right thing has a lot of positive things that can happen.

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."
- Dennis Prager

Good values are really important in human society. As the video suggested, most bad things come from people who don't have good values. And the people who do have decent or good values are happy. Some people just don't value good values, no pun intended. When you have good values you are capable of controlling yourself and being a decent human being. If you can't set and have good values you are most likely a trash human being. This is why values are important in life. Values can help you find some of the most important things in life. It has more importance than anything in the world and in life. You must always have those values high and treasure them over everything in the world.

"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self esteem."   -Dr. Laura Schlessinger

I agree with this as it is true how there is not many actual physical rewards for doing good or what is right. Most of what you gain from doing good happens to yourself. You probably won't gain money, or fame, even though it is a possibility, it will probably not happen. Sometimes, doing the right thing might not even be worth it. But that's okay, as long as you did the right thing. Most of the factors described will probably happen when you do whats right. This is not bad, and might make you feel good, even though you won't always feel good. But, in conclusion there is next to no physical reward that you get out of doing good. There might be some "internal" rewards, and this might make you feel better.

"Being a C-T-R person isn't always easy, but it's the best person you can be."
Diana Beltran

This is very true, as it is never easy to be a ctr person, but it is the best type of person you can be. It may be very hard, a struggle, but it is the best you can be. You cannot be better than a ctr person. A ctr person is the best person you can be, and there is no better than best. You may go through difficulties and struggles but it will be worth it. Being a ctr person is always worth it. You must always have the strength to be able to go through those difficult times and choose the right. This will strengthen the ctr person inside of you. It will become the best person you can be. You will become the best person you can be.

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong." - Wilford Woodruff

This is very true as you never are able to gain anything positive by choosing the wrong. You don't gain anything, and if you do you gain something negative. You should never choose the wrong as it will never help you in life. You must always choose the right, 24/7. You should follow and obey all laws, and by doing so you will be choosing the right. If you do something wrong and bad, like doing drugs you will not get anything good from it. Just like in the video, you might get a fine or maybe even something worse. Choosing the wrong is not worth it. It will never be better to do the wrong than to do the right thing.

"It's a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time."
-Pam Knox

I can see why it is such a great moment. It can be so emotional and so significant to someone and it is really nice to see it happen and stuff. It can be very emotional not only for one person but for the whole team and the coach and stuff. Everyone has a different character whether its good or bad. Character can be interpreted differently as well . If someone sees you do one bad thing then automatically they may assume you have bad character. Even though you may have just doesn't one thing wrong. You may have good character other wise but may just be on a vacation and resting. Character is also what many people immediately look for.It doesn't hurt to be a good person. Life is always better when you choose the right. You should always be a CTR person like everyone in this game and like the one and only Charles Haymore because he chooses the right by being right and when he is right he becomes right. Choosing the right is fun is it is right to be right and choose the right.

S.S.S.

“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you. Place me behind prison walls–walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground–there is a possibility that in some way or another I may escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No. Never! I’d die first!” - Karl G. Maeser

I agree with this statement, you should always keep your word. But Mr. Said that if you give your word, not word of honor. I think these 2 are 2 different things. If you give your word of honor it has a much higher weight than your word. It is still important to give your word and do it, but it doesn't have that much weight on your shoulders than saying you're going to give your word of honor. It is a very noble act and sometimes it is tough to follow through, but it is very important for people to trust you and for yourself. In conclusion it is very important that people keep their word of honor, so that you can trust in them and they can trust in you. If you say you're going to do something in your word of honor, than there is no backing out. That is why you should also only keep things you know for a fact you can keep and you know that you will keep.

The 10 Indian Commandments

1. Treat the Earth and all that dwell thereon with respect.
2. Remain close to the Great Spirit.
3. Show great respect for your fellow beings.
4. Work together for the benefit of humankind.
5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
6. Do what you know to be right.
7. Look after the well-being of mind and body.
8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
9. Be truthful and honest at all times.
10. Take full responsibility for your actions.

I think that these 10 commandments are really good and stuff because, they're really good. They are good because by doing good you are being good and giving good to good. There is not enough good in humanity and by giving good you contribute to that good. It's good to be good, because your being good. By being good you also help other be good,and that's good. The word good shouldn't be used so freely either. Some people say good like if it was always good. It's not good to say good for everything that's good. Good can only be found in good people, and some people don't see that because they are not too good at being good. Some other people say good like five times in a sentence just to fill up space like if it was good. That is not good, that is great. Good is good and I see good in these commandments so that is good, and these commandments are also, good.

***Do what you know to be Good***

" A promise must never be broken" - Alexander Hamilton

I can agree with this quote up to a certain degree. I believe that you need to make a promise with all your heart as if this doesn't happen, the quote contradicts other beliefs. So this quote can contradict other things and can sometimes lead to "Choosing the wrong". For example, if someone promises to hide the truth about something bad, like selling drugs or killing someone, according to this statement you must never brake that promise. But that would be considered not "Choosing the right" so it is stupid. So this quote, like many other quotes we have in this class needs adjusting, in my opinion. You should only keep the promise if you actually believe it is not wrong. Then again, I could be missing some details or not taking into factor other things, but that is why this is my opinion.

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails." - Henry David Thoreau

I agree with this quote as I do believe that goodness is the only investments that never falls. If you do good, then good things will come back to you. In the video we watched all the people that did good got or are going to get good things in return. It might be in something physical or it might be just the happiness that you will get when doing these things. Unlike these, the teens in jail are going to be sad, and regret what they did for the rest of their lives.  They will never get anything good because they never took the time to invest in goodness. They never did it, so instead of being happy they will be sad and angry at themselves forever. This is why you need to make the decision to invest in goodness. In MY OPINION you should always take the time to invest in goodness, because if you do you will always have some type of compensation.

"My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they're popular; you make them because they're right.”  -Theodore Hesburgh

  

I agree with this quote as you should do everything to choose the right. You should always make the decision to choose the right. Choosing the right is everything you'll ever need and more. Choose the right all the time, 24/7 forever. Its the best thing you can do. You don't need money to survive, so long that you choose the right its the best thing. Choosing the right is the most important thing to do. Its the only thing you need. Choosing the right is choosing the right, which means that your choosing the right and this can lead to choosing the right, and so on. And all of this because, like in the quote "... because they're right."
