“ 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 by Theodore Hesburgh is very inspiring the reason for that is because  when you are making decisions you need to make good ones. Everytime I make decisions I think about them and see how they are going to have an effect in my life. It is always best to make good decisions because you will end up regretting your bad decisions. Never forget that bad decisions have serious consequences in your life.

“ I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and apart with him when he goes wrong.”

Abraham Lincoln

This quote has made an impact in my life and the decisions that I make. The reason for that is because when you do right you will be successful it does not matter if you win or lose. When you are with your friends and decide they decide to make wrong decisions it is best to simply apart yourself from them and if you want to help them then do so just as long as you are being careful. The reason that so many people get influenced by others is because those people decide to be followers rather than be leaders. Choosing the right not only brings peace to your life it also brings assurance in yourself. I choose to make right decisions not only for my myself right now but also because I know the decisions I make now will have an impact on my future as well. It is not always going to be easy to make right decisions and walk on the right path but you have to sacrifice things right now to get to where you want to be in the future. Work your hardest and do not let anything or anyone put you down of who you want to become. There is no difference between a successful person and others the only difference is that those successful people are willing to sacrifice their time and are willing to put time and dedication into what they aspire to be. A person who chooses the right is responsible, respectful, kind, productive, hardworking, and is ambitious to reach their goals.

       “Character is higher than intellect.”

                             

                                           Ralph Waldo Emerson

This statement has a deep true meaning , the meaning of this quote is it does not matter if you have advanced knowledge , if your character is wrong then your intellect means nothing. In order for you to be an outstanding person you need to focus on the kind of character you have. There are many reasons why no matter how smart you are you end up ruining great opportunities and chances because of the type of character you hold. It is always important to have a good character with those around you because the type of character you send out is the way people will want to treat you. I have experienced a time in which a student wanted to work part time in a job , he was very smart he knew math very well and also did very good in English. The problem was he had a nasty character he would always like to talk back and he could not control his temper most of the time. He ended up ruining everything he had just because of his bad conduct of character. If you try your hardest to have a good character with yourself and with the people around you , you will make the difference in your life and may even change the lives of those around you in a positive way. I try my hardest everyday to have a good character for those around me , The reason I do it is so that I can have a better life for myself .

    “I trust that my hard work will pay off “

                                           Tyler Haws

                           

This statement by Tyler Haws is a very inspiring statement the reason for that is because when someone is determined to work hard for what they want they will succeed in what they do. I work hard because I know that by working hard I will achieve great things and in the end it will all pay off. When you dedicate your time into something you love you will end up being the best at it. I know by studying and completing all my assignments and homework I will have good grades and that will all pay off once I get accepted to a university. For example, a girl who studies and works hard in all her classes will get good grades and get accepted into many good colleges and universities but a girl who lacks skills in the class and does not complete any assignments or homework will not be successful in life or in what she does. You need to work hard and be determined to reach great things. It is easier to say that you will do it but to actually set your mind to it is difficult. Just think when you are struggling with work and you stay for tutoring , study all day , practice a sport all day , all that hard work and effort you put into it will pay off in the end.
