“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

Reflection: I agree with this quote because that’s a good way to succeed and accomplish your goals and everything else will get better. Doing the right thing is as important than not doing the wrong thing, its good for you it’s healthy and can help you live better and happier in life. If people did the right thing as much as they did the wrong thing then their life and everyone else's life would be better and more successful.

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

 

Wilford Woodruff

Reflection: I agree with this quote because if you do something wrong like cheat you will think you gained something when you really didn't and doing something wrong in no way benefits you or the people around you. To gain something you would have to do right and you will feel good which will benefit you unlike guilt from doing something wrong.

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

 

Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Reflection: I agree with this quote because if you do something right you will feel better rather than look better and it the more important thing is how you feel. Doing the right thing can benefit not only yourself but other people around you which can make you feel better,

Forgiveness

Forgiveness
Prisoner Eric Smallridge was convicted with a DUI and Manslaughter for drinking and driving; killing two girls Megan and Lisa around the age of 20. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison but when Megan's mother Renee asks the judge to cut that sentence in half the judge does. Megan's mother (one of the girls killed in the accident) forgives Eric because she doesn't want to hate him forever and she sees that he is really sorry for what he did to her daughter so she forgives him for what he did. They both talk to kids at school about drinking and driving and Eric gets out early from prison and gets to be with his happy parents eventually the other girls family forgives him to.
