“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Image result for right choice I agree with this quote by Theodore Roosevelt, because it is 100% truth full. Choosing/ doing what's right is never going to go wrong. Doing so is a win win, for everyone involved. When you choose the right, or to do the right thing you are showing you are a person with great character and self respect. Everyone makes choices on the daily, but not everyone makes the right ones but those who do, are more successful. An example of making the right decision is say you are shopping and you find a phone. You can make three choices 1. Take it, 2. Leave it, 3. Take it and return it. You mustn choose the right one because you don't know what type of information a cell phone contains, how important it is to someone, and you must do what's right because it right. Number 1 is simply just not right because it doesn't belong to you. Choice number 2 is not so good because someone else can come take it but there's a 50% chance they won't give it to the owner and 50% chance they will. Ans number 3 is totally the right one. Always do what's right no matter what because it important. You get what you give.

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”
Wilford Woodruff

Image result for wilford woodruffI agree with this quote because it is true. When you choose the wrong no one learns anything. To begin with, You already know it’s wrong so when you do it you don’t learn it was bad because you knew that from the start. A perfect example of choosing the wrong and not learning is cheating. Everyone knows that cheating is bad, and when you do it you don’t learn anything because you won’t be able to improve yourself when doing so. Cheating is the perfect example also because you don't affect no one but yourself. You don't get to learn and grow as a person. Although it may seem like the easy way out but it is CTW. CTW is never right. If you choose to do the right then you will grow, you will improve yourself and become a much better person. You don’t gain nothing from doing what's wrong, simply because it’s wrong and you must’n known it was wrong from the start. Doing will get you nowhere in like, unlike choosing the right. Choosing the right will open new doors for you and help you grow.

"It's a GREAT MOMENT when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time." 
Pam Knox


Image result for choosing the right at the right moment              I agree with this quote by Pam Knox. I think this is right because one should always do the right thing at the right time. If one chooses to do this, because indeed it is correct they will show their value and that they are CTR people. If you choose to do right things at the right moment you won't be CTW, if you choose to do opposite than that though, you will be CTW. An example of doing something at the right time is say you go out and spot someone being robbed. Then you have the perfect time to stop it and you do so you are being CTR and showing your good character. Now, say you just let it happened in front of your face and didn't do nothing, that is CTW and you are showing how selfish you are and how you have no good character.  Being Ctr will never go wrong and there is never bad timing to do so.

“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in  some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I'd die first.”
Karl G. Maeser

Image result for word of honorWhat this quote means is that word of honor is saying you will or will not do something and keeping it. I'd like to think of it as a promise. When you give your word of honor you are promising to do as you say. You are saying you won't break it and you will achieve what you said you would. An example of giving your word of honor is telling your mom you will do something and THEN YOU DO-DO IT. If you break it your word of honor won't mean anything but if you keep it, you will be valued. A word of honor is important because if you don't have one, or you break things you say you will do constantly, and give your word for it; then no one will take you seriously. People will see you as nothing but a liar. Now if you do opposite than that you will show your good character and that you are a CTR person. Keeping your word of honor is very important. Having a word of honor is valuable and not having one will suck.

The 10 Indian commandments

  1. Image result for 10 indian commandmentsTreat Earth and all that dwells therein with respect.
  2. Remain close to the Great Spirit.
  3. Show great respect to your fellow beings.
  4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
  5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
  6. Do what you know to be right.
  7. Looks after the well being of mind and body.
  8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
  9. Be truthful and honest at all times.
  10. Take full responsibility for your actions.

I  believe these are really good commandments. I can relate to most, but not all. These commandments are very important. I say that because the 10 Indian commandments can help one become a better person. The commandments I can relate to the most is commandment number 6,  9, and 10. (Do what you know to be right, Take full responsibility for your actions and Be truthful and honest at all times.) I say this because when you are a CTR person you must do all of these the most. You must try to always be honest and truthful also always choose the right. Who ever came up with these commandments must be very proud because they are really good, and useful. If one follows these, they will be sure to become a better person or remain one. These commandments relate to being a CTR person because when you choose to follow them, you are doing what's right in all the ways possible and that's what being a CTR person id about. The commandment I liked the most was number 4 because when you allow others to help you do something better it is good. You'll find new things you had never before and you will enjoy them.

“Greatness is the only investment that never fails.”
Henry David Thoreau

Image result for henry david thoreau To begin with I agree with Henry’s quote. I say this because doing what's good can never go wrong. Any time you choose the right no bad outcome will come from it. An example is you see someone getting robbed. Later you find the robber and you think “should I report him or not.” The right thing to do is report him. Why? Because if you see him and let him slip, he will continue doing what he did over and over again. Now if you report him you’re actually helping him, they  can change for the better and you're helping others around you stay safe. When you choose to do right, and you know it's right never second guess yourself because doing what's right is right. Doing something that doesn't have goodness in it is not correct. Choosing to be a CTR person will never fail one unlike CTW. When someone chooses to do right they are helping lots of people and preventing lots of other things. If you choose something that you think is right, But it fails, then it really wasn’t right and one must learn from their mistakes. Good doesn't fail, bad does. 😆😁😃

“My basic principles isn't 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
(Former President of Notre Dame)


Image result for theodore hesburgh I believe this quote by Theodore is right. One must always choose to make the right decision because it correct. When making a decision one must not look into it and see whether it's cool, or not. They must just look and see then think “is this the right choice." One should not do things to fit in but to stand out. Choosing the right isn't always easy or cheap or popular but what always matters is that it is right. An example is cheating on a test to look smart. To your teachers you may look super smart but that is not right, to cheat and look smart, and receive a good grade. Rather try your hardest and study and do something correctly and honestly because that will pay off. You'll get the help you need and in the future you'll know it all, unlike if you cheat. Your teachers will assume you go the lesson and you'll never learn. A lot of people do things to look cool or look right. When in reality they are doing things wrong and hurting themself. Choosing right from wrong will come with many obstacles and things, but if you do right in the end it will pay off.
