“Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.”
Herbert Kaufman

This is an amazing statement by Herbert Kaufman. Persistence is an endearing quality that is of great importance when trying to achieve an ambition. Courage, diligence, initiative, and persistence are all important when trying to achieve an ambition, but fail. What is failure? Failure can be defined many ways. In our case, failure is the ill attempt in completing an ambition. If you do not complete something then should you overlook the ambition and move along? NO, failure allows us to better ourselves and evaluate the aspect(s) that made you unable to complete your ambition the first time. With all of the qualities listed above will serve as a figurative rehabilitation center where courage would inspire you to persist in the completion of the action and where diligence and initiative along with your ambition will generate motivation and allows for victory.

“To see what is right and no to do it is want of courage.”
Confucius

This is an amazing statement by Confucius. If you were to participate in an improper action knowing that it is not the correct thing to do you are lacking courage and desire courage because it is something that is not abundant inside of you. For example courage is expressed when you do not commit any improper actions even though others would ridicule you for not following their “example”  and that you are aware of the negative consequences that the action can convey. If you are aware of the severity of an action, but proceed and commit it because you are afraid of being ridiculed then you are deficient of courage and yearn for it even if you are not aware of it.

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”
Matt Biondi

This is an amazing quote by Matt Biondi. Persistence will always prove a formidable adversary for failure. Although in some cases failure can assist others, most of the time it is useless it will not aid you in accomplishing anything. Persistence is as valuable as hope itself because without persistence of an action there would not be any hope of accomplishing it vice-versa. For example, let’s say you currently have a bad grade in your history class and you are currently beginning your second semester and would like to maintain the A that is prearranged to all students in the beginning of each semester. To accomplish this feat you will have to evaluate what aspects of your life endanger your grade and attempt to ignore those aspects and focus on you studies. Development is only accomplished through perseverance, but failure is accomplished through feebleness.

“Never, there is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil.”
Ayn Rand

This is an amazing statement by esteemed Russian novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter Ayn Rand. There is never any justification for committing an improper (Evil) action. We must never attempt to justify an improper action because no matter how much effort is exerted into justifying the action it will never be deemed correct. Society is an important factor in the decision of whether an action is correct or if it is not. Would you expect the justification of an action that caused the deaths of many? No the action will never be justified since it impacted society negatively. Differentiation of right or wrong is different with every person, but the perception of an event that impacted the world will affect many profoundly.

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it’s ended up not being right.”
Mario Cuomo

This is an amazing quote by Mario Cuomo the 52^nd governor of New York. When you feel as if what you are about or the action that is currently in progress is wrong then the consequences manifested by your choice will affect you in an incorrect manner. When you decide to not participate in an action that you know is incorrect then your consequences will be positive. Incorrect actions also affect you psychological state in where you will feel guilt and know that the action that you committed was incorrect and then therefore will manifest negative consequences that will gravely affect you.

“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”
Davy Crockett

This quote expresses the concept of reassurance of ones decisions. You should always be sure of your decision and be able to justify your motive for any action that you are about to commit. Many have their own definition of a correct action, but should understand if others see it as correct. Many fail to recognize the beneficial and correct aspect of their motive. For example, if a boy hit another boy and is punished and when asked for his motive he tells the teacher/ caretaker that the boy took his pencil will that really justify for his violent action? I believe an action should be correct and not done for the benefit of one sole person, but should be beneficial for many.

“Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.”
Woodrow Wilson

This is an amazing quote by Woodrow Wilson. This quote describes invigorated activists who would assertively ask for change that many will benefit from and that is correct. This quote is not inferring that those who want change should physically engage in conflict, but should rather assertively propose and defend their cause. When confronting an issue you are never supposed to use any force on any obstacle that arises, but if you should take action then you should be ready to justify the motive of your actions.
