''If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail'' by Lou Holtz If I always do what's right with out people telling me or reminding me then that makes me look mature and makes me gain peoples trust.

''Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly''  by Otto Graham, Jr. When you know something is wrong then you shouldn't do it even if you think it will benefit you. For example the video of the homeless man shows that you should do the right no matter what because if he would have exchanged the ring for 4 thousand dollars it wouldn't have been worth it because instead the kept the ring and the lady that owned it helped him get money because people wanted to donate.
