“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”
Peter F. Drucker

This is an amazing statement by Peter F. Drucker. Many things are viewed as correct by many, but are morally wrong. What is correct is not what is viewed as correct, but what is morally correct. For example, you are at a school board meeting and the head of the school district wants to reduce the amount of profit that is provided to our schools. For many this seems atrociously evil, but for the employees at the school district this may seem as an “acceptable” action that will ensure their sustainability. Unlike the employees, many of the citizens view this as unacceptable because this will lead to a decline in the conditions of our educational institutions. What the employees should ask themselves is if this decision is morally correct? Which it is definitely not!

“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.

“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”
Robert E. Lee
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee

If you commit an action that will lead to the benefit of many and is overall good in nature then you will be rewarded with immense satisfaction because you did what is right. Doing what is right will be progressively simple if you commit the correct actions more often and it will become much more simple that you would not be conflicted by a proper and by an improper choice. If you commit a proper action then you will not feel any guilt or confliction that would be felt if you committed an improper action and therefore you would be rewarded by your conscience with the satisfaction and approval of your decision. Though committing proper actions can be viewed as a responsibility becuase it sometimes is responsibility that is benefiting for you and for those around you and with practice can soon become an idea that you will always strive for.

“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.

“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.

“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”
Marcus Aurelius
Roman Emperor from 161 AD to 180 AD

This is an amazing quote from a Roman Emperor! If something is wrong why do it? This amazing quote conveys what is correct and what is incorrect. If you commit something wrong why did you even do it in the first place? The answer is that you did not thoroughly elaborate on the possible consequences therefore making your understanding of your action meager. Once you realize that you have committed an improper action then you start to realize your mistake. If something is not true then why mention it? Many like to indulge in “Gossip,” but it is improper to even mention something that can destroy a person’s reputation and that is not accurate.

"What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right."

Howard Cossel

Howard Cossel is indeed correct. Things that are popular are not always the best things, they can sometimes be attrocious, but since they are alledgedly popular people go ahead and do them. When you do something you know is the correct thing to do, but others do not find it popular or they believe that it's not the correct thing to do, but in reality it is the correct thing to do then go ahead and do. You should not let peoples desires cloud your judgement because those people might not even know right from wrong and will influence you to do something that you will later regret. Many youths today are influenced easily, most youths today are weak they are consumed by others desire that they are influenced into doing what is wrong such as if someone asked you to change your apparel/style of clothing and you are tempted to, but then you notice that you have an interview for a prestigious program and if you wear baggy pants and clothes with violence associated images then you will be less likely to be accepted.
