“The most important thing you will ever have is good values.”- Dennis prager

I agree with this quote by Dennis Prager. An individual should always have good values no matter what. Values are the set of rules we go by in our lives. It is important because our personalities will greatly depend on the quality of our values. Values are things that signify the core aspects of our self. Values will help you recover a clearer sense of what's most essential to you in life. Our values are important because they help us to grow and develop. They help us to create the future we want to experience. Without values in our lives we will not have a civilized society and we will lose all sense of meaning in our life- the two can’t be separated unless we lead a corrupt life with no sense of meaning. Good values are what make up our character and contribute to our daily lives.

If you use steroids to enhance your performance you could get into a lot of trouble. You even run the risk of getting kicked out of the team, and to take back trophies you cheated for. Cheating is not an honest thing to do. It could have many consequences. You should always be honest even in the toughest situations in life.Always be honest and CTR 24/7.

“I WON’T CHEAT”

-Dale Murphy

What this means is the pretty obvious. Not cheating. If you cheat that’s wrong, so wrong. Like cheating on a test is bad. Just cheating to get it done or just because you don’t really want to work it out is all wrong. Getting caught doing that would be even worse, you get a nasty gut feeling when they catch you. And denying it will make especially worse. Unlike not cheating. Not cheating is very helpful. You don’t get caught doing anything bad, you already know what to do just on your own. It is better that way. You don’t feel anything when you’re doing something right. You just feel great about it like you just accomplished something impossible. But it really isn’t impossible. Choose the right for yourself so other around you know what is best. Work hard and you can prove that you better than others not by taking drugs or doing other stuff DON’T cheat yourself thinking you can’t do it. Dale Murphy showed us that we can do it we don’t have to cheat BE A CTR PERSON!!

This quote means that you could never go wrong by choosing the right. Choosing the right is a motto to life. If you CTR 24/7 you will be happy in your heart & successful in life. If you choose the right you will not have feelings of being guilty. You could never feel good when you do something bad.When you do something bad and try to make it into something good, the final result will still be bad. You should think twice before you act on doing something that you should not do.Another example of this would be if you are stealing money from your parents.

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy, I was trying to do what was right"- Dean Smith 

Dean Smith was a very special college basketball coach who was and continues to be admired by so many people. He had a great impact on his players and on his students. He has a total of 879 wins and two national titles, his wins were surpassed but he is ranked 9th place in college basketball wins. I believe he has a great impact on everyone who is interested in this sport, not only that but anyone who is able to define good character. He was a very humble man he did all that is done just to do the right thing and as he did following his own conscious. Long after his players had graduated he continued to yearly write them a letter to keep in touch. He was a great man and truly inspirational. He thought of himself unworthy of the items others wanted to name after him. After each win he would console the other coach before celebrating and congratulating his own team. His players did not only see him as a coach but as a father figure as well. He was looked up upon by the majority of people he knew. He was truly loved by all.
