I would not like to work as this because it seems like a pretty difficult job

“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 are popular; you make them because they’re right.”

By: Theodore Hesburgh

(Former President of Notre Dame)

It doesn’t matter how you judge the option. What matters is that it is correct. Your decision can mean anything but just make the correct one is what this quote is telling us. Take responsibility of your decision even if you stand alone and everyone goes against it. We shouldn’t make decisions by what others think or by popularity but we should make decisions by what we know is right. We should not go with the cheap way or the easy way because it will only hurt you in the long run.We should be taking the right way because it will benefit us in many different ways.

Be True

“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 part with him when he goes wrong.”

By: Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was an honest man. He was known for a good name. He was known for Honest Abe. He always did what was right and avoided what was wrong. He was a CTR man. He was one of the Presidents of the United States. He had worked so hard and his hard work really did pay off. He certainly did not expect to win what he was trying to win. But he did try to do what was right as much as he could. One day he was working in a store as a clerk and  a lady gave him 6 ¼ cents by accident and when he noticed the error, he closed the store and walked 6 miles to return back the money to the lady. He was kind, generous, respectful, and true. He was one of the most appreciated and adored presidents to ever have and date. Many people doubted him and disliked. He abolished slavery and was honest no matter what the consequences were.
