“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton

This is an amazing statement by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Lies cannot harbor an individual from any danger; lies only induce more danger and chaos. The truth will always be a much more prosperous decision then lying because the truth while it cannot harbor you from any physical danger it is the most secure decision there is. For example, if you need to attend a birthday celebration, but have also accepted an invitation to another celebration and you lie to the person who arranged the celebration and inform them that you are currently feeling very ill (which is a lie because you are not feeling ill.” After doing such you decide to go to the other celebration with a sensation of guilt and doubtfulness. later that evening the person who person who arranged the celebration brings you a slice of cake from the celebration just as you are walking back from the other celebration with some associates and  you are seen by the person that you deceived and that person is now angry and disappointed. Would you rather have told her the truth and arranged a plan where you could attend both celebrations? I believe most will answer yes because the solution was too simple. You could have arranged to go to the first celebration for an hour and then relocate to the other celebration without deceiving anone.

“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.

“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.

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

This is an amazing quote by one of the most memorable president of the United States. A decision is being formulated every second of everyday. In a moment of decision we consider many outcomes and whether our next choice will be proper or improper. Doing what is morally correct when making a decision will manifest the best possible outcome because you are not doing anything wrong. Sometimes you make a decision that you know is wrong, but you benefit from it and therefore think that it is okay to “stretch the truth”, but in reality it is wrong and later on all you will only feel guilty because you either injured your moral or others (either physically or emotionally by your improper desicion.)

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
Habit 1
(by Sean Covey modified)

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for his/her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters: they don’t wait to be told what to do; they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take initiative.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
