To be a CTR Person-to Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT 24/7!!!

Mr.Haymore

Reflection: I agree with what this quote is trying to represent, the best thing to do is the right thing. Whenever you don’t know what to do the best thing to do is what you think is right. You will never regret doing what is right, and you will always feel good about it. Even if people don’t agree with what you have to say or do it doesn’t matter because you know you’re doing the right thing. By choosing to be a CTR person you are opening a lot of doors for yourself. People are able to respect you more and trust you a lot more as well. When you always choose the right not everyone is going to agree with you but it doesn’t matter because you know you’re doing the right thing. By becoming a CTR person you will attract a lot of new friends. Not only friends but friends that are respectful and trustworthy.

It's better to fail with honor than win by cheating

It's better to fail with honor than win by cheating. After all, if you fail with honor you are still a winner

Malik Stewart is known as a good person because of one act he did, in the other hand Roman Chapa is known as a bad person because of how he cheated. In Malik Stewart’s story we learn that you should always do the right thing even in rough times. Even though he lost the match he decided to be a good sport and congratulate his opponents dad. Instead of being mad and walking away he did the right thing. In the other hand Roman Chapa and his story, he decided to cheating. Roman Chapa chose the wrong because he thought it could benefit him, which it did but not for long. He got caught and now he looks like a bad person because of one bad thing he did. Now he got his privilege to race taken away from him. Even though Malik didn’t win he will still be known as a winner. And even though Roman won he will always be known as a loser.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”- Sophocles

I would have to agree with Sophocles, the best thing to do is be honest. Because then you wouldn’t be able to forgive yourself for winning by default or by cheating. You’re victory sure wouldn’t feel as good or the same than if you would have just did it the right way. For example if you were to cheat on one of your finals, and you end up getting 100% on it. You won’t feel as good as if you would have just studied and not cheated. More than likely you won’t be able to get that guilt out of your head. Just like Sophocles i would rather fail but do it the right way. Then cheat and win it all because then i would just feel guilty. Sophocles is also trying to say that the best thing to do is the honest and right thing. It will make you feel a lot more better than being dishonest.

Eight great reasons to tell the truth

Eight great reasons to tell the truth

Barbara A. Lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There’s less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed  or punished.
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get in less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying (and getting caught).
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don’t have to tell (and remember) more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain a reputation for being truthful- a trait most people value.
8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful. Inside.

I agree with Ms. Lewis with some of these reasons, like reason 3 is just plain dumb. But i do like reason 5 because i do think that people do trust you more when you tell the truth. I also think you should always tell the truth even if you know it can hurt the other person. Reason number 6 is kinda true as well because once you lie you more than likely going to keep having to lie. Number 7 is also true because people can start notice that you lie to much. Then they’ll never want to hang out with you or even talk to you. Maybe because they think you’re just going to backstab them or you’re going to do something behind their backs. Number 8 i think is just mental and internal, if you think you’re trustworthy than you wouldn’t think like that even if you really aren’t trustworthy.

A promise must never be broken

“A promise must never be broken.”

Alexander Hamilton

This quote indicates that promises should never be broken because then no one would trust you. If no one can trust you then you won’t have any connections. You can’t do certain stuff without other people’s help. You will also be losing friendships with people and also trust. If you don’t keep your promises then it can get you fired from a job. It could also get some of you privileges taken away from you. People will also stop depending on you to do stuff for them. That can lead them into replacing you.
