"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 This quote is being said by former President of Notre Dame, Theodore Hesburgh. He is saying that all the decisions we make should be driven by the concept that the choice you are making is what is right. Many times people don't make decisions bcause it is the best choice but some people make them because it is what everyone else is doing. Just because everyone else is doing something it doesn't mean that it is automatically wrong, sometimes the popular choice is the best choice. There have been many times when people have chosen something because it is popular and I don't think that is right. I feel like this quote is something many people should think about when making choices.

" I trust that my hard work will pay off " - Tyler Haws This quote is being said by a formal BYU student. He played basketball for the school team and was very successful. This quote was said by him when talking about him playing. I agree with this quote because when you are optomistic and positive about something, like hard work paying off, it will happen if you trust yourself. I work hard for many things like school and while I was playing a sport I would but all my effort in. I always made sure I had a good minset about everything and that i trusted myself and God. When I began trusting myself I noticed I had more success, so i started doing that more often. After a while I started noticing the long term affects of me trusting myself.

"True independance and freedom can only exist in doing what'a right" - Brigham Young This quote is being said by the founder and creater of Brigham Young Univeristy. He was a very virtouis and rightful person. He was a CTR person and passed that onto the students that attend BYU. This quote, to me, means that in order to be free of everyone you need to make good decisions. In a way that is correct but at the same time the quote contradicts itself because this quote is saying that the only way to have freedom is making good decisions. If you had the freedom to do what you wanted you would not have to make the right decision. Therefor, the only way to have freedom is to have the right to make your own decisions that you want to do. For example, if I didn't want to go somewhere but knew I should be there , this quote is saying I should do what is right and go and I will be free and independant but if i dont go i am not m,aking a good decisions. But inrealiy making my

"They're only truly great who are truly good." - George Chapman This quote doesn't really make sense to me, i guess it was supposed to say "Those who are great, are truly good." When the quote is put that way then i agree. I agree because when someone is good that has to mean that all aspects of them are good. If someone is good but lies then they are not good. For example, a good baseball player. If they are good on the field but a bad husband, they are no longer good. Also if a good baseball player is good on the field but uses steroids then they are no longer good. You have to be completely good to be considered a genuinely good person. I aspire to be a good person, I am not a bad person but I am neither a genuinely good human being.

"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it." -George Mitchell This quote is being said by the Senate Majority Leader. This man should know a lot about the effects of cheating because if he were to cheat it ould affect several people. I believe many people dont understand the consequence of cheating which is why they do it. They dont realize the harm they are inflicting on themselves and the people around them. I think that the short term gain is not worth the long term pain. I believe that cheating is extremely wrong and should never be done because it not only affects the person doing the act but also the people around the person.
