“Stop worrying about whether you are going to win or lose and focus your attention on what’s happening right this moment.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Jackson

This is an amazing statement by Phil Jackson. If you prioritize your current objective than it will be much easier to indulge yourself into the objective than if you begin to think about the possible consequences which will cloud your thinking. For example, suppose a kid is preparing himself for a soccer game, but is distracted when being told the routine in which the game would be played because he is thinking about whether they would win or lose the game. When he begins to play he does not remember the routines and causes his team to lose the game. If the student would have prioritized his current objective (the soccer game) then he would have not been preoccupied with the game’s outcome and would have played more efficiently. If you devote yourself to your current objective while slightly disregarding the aftermath then you will succeed because you will not devote yourself into formulating possible aftermaths which will lead to failure.

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”
Claudius

This is an amazing statement by Claudius. Like our future our education can be manipulated by us and molded to our standards, but like future consequences we must be held accountable for our decisions. The statement above utilizes a superb figurative example conveying the student as the architect and their education as their building. For example, say a student attends all of his classes and completes all of his work while another student does not complete his work and when transported to school does not actually enter the premises. Which of these students will likely have a more promising future? Well it is obviously the one who is setting up an adequate foundation for himself within his education. Let us compare these two students to two managers; the adequate student always instructs his employees on the proper procedures if a fire ever occurs inside of the building while the inadequate student vaguely explains the procedure to his employees. If there was ever a fire then the adequate student’s employees will most likely exit the building without sustaining any mortal injuries. As said before the consequences derived from our decisions will impact many as well as yourself.

“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.

“Be quick, but don’t get into a hurry.” John Wooden

This is an amazing quote by former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden. Almost every human being makes a decision every day. To make a decision you must be diligent not urgent because when someone makes a rash decision they do not allow themselves time to think about their decisions and the possible consequences therefore their decision is inadequately formulated. Even tasks of minor importance require diligence when decisions are made that can contribute to the task. If you make a decision when expressing urgency you will not think of the consequences and this will provide undesired results.

“Your future is created based on what you do today; not tomorrow.”
Robert Kiyosaki

This is an amazing statement by author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” Robert Kiyosaki. If you decide to do something then that action will formulate an outcome/ consequence that will be your future. You can never predict the future because there are so many consequences that are all derived off of your choices today. For example, if you were to become a successful business executive you would begin to learn more about the position therefore you became interested in the career position and let’s say you just currently researched it and did it today not in the future. Our actions today (the present) determine the consequences of our future.

“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.

“I think that it is better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, that to incur the reproach of our consciences and posterity.”
Robert E. Lee

You should always do what is right no matter what ordeal it presents. You should never try to avoid the consequences presented with doing what is right because those consequences while beneficial or not are the only ones presented with doing the right thing and it is better to endure then to avoid. However, those who do avoid the correct choice do not prosper feel conflicted because of their choices therefore making the future consequences much more severe instead of diminishing the severity of any kind of punishment.

“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”
Rosa Parks

This is amazing statement by the profoundly inspirational Rosa Parks. When you commit something that is considered morally correct and that will benefit you and others you do not fear the consequences. When you commit something that is morally incorrect you are overwhelmed with shame and guilt which then manifests itself into other emotions. Rosa Parks was an African American fought for the civil rights of other African American individuals and did not feel any guilt or shame because she knew that her cause was just and she and many others will benefit from it. When you commit a morally correct action you will feel at ease, but when you commit something that is incorrect you will never be at ease.

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.” - Albert A. Montapert

This is magnificent statement by Albert A. Montapert. No one can ever commit an action without a consequence being manifested by the action “what goes around comes around.” When our judgment and moral sense are clouded by greed and evil ambitions we ignore the consequence(s) that accompany. Any and I mean any action no matter how miniscule or tremendous will always manifest a consequence often mirroring the proportion of the action. A few weeks ago my friend was talking about how he did not complete his homework and how he was going to complete it during advisory. What my friend did not understand was by not completing his homework he will now have to complete it in advisory and he might not comprehend the subject that well. Consequences can either benefit or affect the individual and will always manifest themselves no matter what the action may be.

"If you do what's right, you have no need to fear."

ANON

If you do something wrong then you will be shrouded by fear and guilt. If you do what is right on the other hand you will not be worried nor feel any guilt instead you will be serene and have no worries what so ever because you have not commited anything wtong therefore you will sustain your freedom. Those who "Choose The Wrong" are not free they are opressed by themselves they are not bestowed with freedom they are worried about the consequences for their choice, they fear their parent's disapproval, the authorities, society's judgment, and so on.
