The Ultimate Choice

Of all the choices you will ever make, one choice supersedes all others-the ultimate choice. This one choice will help you to always make correct decisions for the remainder of your life. This one choice, The Ultimate choice, is your keystone for being the best student and person you can possibly be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other choice. 

THE ULTIMATE CHOICE is: 

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

Making the right decisions is important, only for the fact that, that determines what your whole life will depend on. A person who constantly makes bad decisions and has no plans ahead of himself/herself will end up in a place that not so many people will enjoy being at. Your life depends on the decisions you make, because if you take the right decisions then success will come into your life, followed by many other good things that will benefit you throughout it. If you take the wrong choices, you will not get where you want to be and the only thing that will come into your life is failure. I believe everyone is capable of achieveing what they want, but they just need to work hard enough to reach that goal. Some people may have better abilities, but if someone really wants something, abilities dont matter. Choosing the right, hard effort and dedication will get you what you want.

“If i’ve got correct goals, and if i keep pursuing them the best way i know how, everything else falls into line. If i do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.” -Dan Dierdorf

Knowing how to do the right think right is very important. For example, if you are suppose to wash the dishes but you keep pausing and taking breaks every 5 minutes, the you are doing the right thing wrong. The reason for that is because you are doing the right thing by washing the dishes but the wrong thing by pausing every so often, which will make what you’re doing take even longer to finish up. Doing the right thing wrong will take up to much of your time and will unfocus you from your main focus. Doing the right thing right will help you get things done much quicker and better because you will only be focused on your main focus. Keep yourself focused on just one thing because the rest doesn't have to matter if you want to get things done the correct way. It is important to make the right decisions because that will lead you up to good things and not bad.

"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem." Dr. Laura Schlessinger
The reward of doing what is right doesnt have to be an object or something given to you. The reward should be you feeling better about yourself. If you feel good about yourself and you feel like you did the right thing then good stuff will come to you. Karma willl always get back to you if you do not do what is right. Point is that you dont need no reward because life itself will reward you with great things. Helping others will help you aswell by making you a better person and someome who can be trusted. It is a great feeling when someone can trust you and it is also a great feeling when you know you did the right thing and that everything will be perfectly fine. Do what is right so right can come to you. Do what is wrong and wrong will come to you. It all depends on your decisions and how you want life to come back at you. Think about what you are doing before you do something that will bring you repercussions in the future or at the moment.

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing." -Theodore Roosevelt
        A decision is something that will not be easy to do if you aren't sure of what you want. Making decisions can be risky. They can either turn out bad, or maybe good, but you never know and that is why you should think about the decions you make before you regret them. For example, making a bad decision and losing your parents trust. Your parents will constantly be worried about you even if you aren't up to nothing bad because now they doubt you. Your parents doubting you, and not trusting you enough is the most horrible thing ever, but if you did wrong then you earned it. If you want trust, and if you want good things to come your way you must do the right thing. Bad influences are not good and those type of people will convince you to do wrong. The best thing you can do when making decisions is the right thing, because that will lead you to good opportunities and anything that makes you happy. Making the wrong decisions never gets you what you want, infact sometimes those decisions can take things away from you, things that are valuable and special in your life.

"I have been asked what i mean by 'word of honor.' i will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever sp high , ever so think, reaching ever so far into the ground - there is a possibility that in some way or another i might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk lin around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can i get out of that circle? No, never! I'd die first." - Karl G. Maeser
 This quote is talking about keeping your promises or what you have said. If you keep your word on something, you should keep it because if not you're someone that cannot be trusted. Keeping your word of honor is important because you must always tell the truth and be good so you could earn good.

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails” -Henry David Thoreau

Goodness can be an example of being able to cooperate with others, always telling the truth, treating people the way they want to be treated and etcetera. Goodness is the only thing that will never fail, meaning that being good will always lead you through a good path. Being good is important because it is also a very important part of your personality. People who know how you are would not want to be  near you if you were a person with bad desires. If you are a person with goodness, positive people will come into your life for the better rather than for the worse. Being good can lead you to many more things that will help you succeed, rather than being bad, which will lead you to nothing but failure.

"Character is higher than intelect." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your character counts more than your words, more than what you promise. Character is what gets you to the places you want to be or the places you stand on right now. Someone who has a bad character usually doesn't go so far or get what they want in life. Having a good character is important because character is what describes you, character is what makes you who you are in life. When you have an excellent character, peole see you as a good person and you earn the respect you deserve. You achieve things youve once wanted and great opportunities come your way when you have a good character. It is your choice whether you want to ahve a good character or bad, because as the end of the day, it will always affect you and it only determines who you really are.

" I wont cheat " -Dale Murphy
Cheating is unffair and not the correct thing to do. When cheating, you are always scared of getting caught and you may recieve repercussions. Doing wrong might get you what you want, but only lasts for a while because the truth starts from a lie. Doing things the right way can help you achieve goals in life that you are striving for. For example getting in the basseball team at school. If you take something to make you faster or better and you get cought, you will probably not be able to play at all and you will not be doing what you wanted the most.

“Character Matters Most.” - Dale Murphy

Character is what counts when it comes to anything having to do with yourself. For example, being able to connect with people in your team. You can be a good player but your character might sucks which affects everything else you might be. When having a good character you know how to interact and get along with people you encounter with. In order to succeed you must have a character that enriches you. Character counts when being with family, with friends, at job interview, and even discussing a simple situation or arguing. Having a positive attitude towards things and a clear mindset is also very important. The reason why it is important is because having a clear mindset will not get you moody and cause you to have a different attitude towards people. Being positive will push you to do better and character will lead you to open doors and great opportunities.

"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly." - Otto Graham, Jr.

 If you know what is wrong and what is right then why would you choose the wrong. Ask yourself if what you are doing is right, because doing what is right will lead you to success. Knowing what you are doing is wrong should make you chose better decisions to act accordingly. If you know what you are doing is correct then continue acting the way you are to be able to strive for more. Success is not handed, it is earned by being hard working and maing the right decisions. For example, playing in a team you are not suppose to, or not being eligible to play, but you play anyways. You will eventually recieve repercussions, and all that yo've done will not count as anything. If you choose the right and play in a team you beong in or are eligible to play, then everything will be fine. You dont have to worry about anything if you make the right decisions.

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." - George Washington
When Having friends who are bad influence, it is better to not have friends at all and be by yourself. Bad influence will make you do thing you do not want to, which can cause you to have troubles. Associate yourself with good friends who will lead you to nothing but good. Only you have the decision whether you want to choose what is right or what is wrong and where you want to be in the future. For example being with a crwod full of people who do nothing but bad decisions. You will feel left out or forced to do the same thing they are, just to fit in the social group. That will only bring negative repercussions that will not benefit you on anything. If you hang out with a crowd who only does good, then goood things will come your way alomg with those people. Do what is right and you will be rewarded. It is all up to the decisions you  make, no one else but yourself. Wherever you end good or bad, you only have youself to blame. Make the incorrect decisions to end up in bad places. Make the correct decisions to end up in a succesful place.

"Right is right only when entire." - Victor Hugo '
Right is only right if what you are doing or saying is comletely right. For example going to a place your parents do not want you in, but not smoking or drinking. You still did what was wrong even though you did not do anything bad at that party because you attended it without your parents permission. When saying the truth you must tell the whole truth because changing a slight little thing is still a lie. That lie can cause a big problem between people, like your friends family, or etcetera. The truth must be entire because if not then what is the point of even atempting to say the truth if all you will do is stack lie over lie over lie. Honesty is something that should be considered and done. If you knwowhat is correct then do what is correct to avoid trobles. Telling a lie is just the beginning of the truth and that will get you nowhere good, or nowhere where you want to be. Suffer the consiquences or just choose the right and tell the truth. Telling the truth does no harm but lying does. Its your choice.

"If you do what's right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of." - Rachel Castillo
Knowing what is right, and doing what is right is something that everyone should consider doing. Everything around you will take care of itself, and you will also be taken care of by achieving anything you've wanted. For example not being able to do somethng you want to do or want to get, has a reason. A reason might be because you didn't do what was needed in order to recieve that, or maybe you made bad decisions. There will always be consiquences in your life if you do not do what is right, and most of those consequences are not really satisfying. If you want to be taken care of, and achieve your goals, you must do what is right. Another example can be if you always take care of the decisions you make. Making good decisions leads to success and accomplishment. With accomplishment you can get anything you want. Only you can prevent yourself from getting what you want, by making bad choices. You'll be taken care of if you make the right moves.

"In life as in football, you wont go far, unless you know where the goalposts are" 
                                                                      - Arnold H. Glasgow 
How can you get to a location without directions? How can you bake something without ingridients, or ride a bike without the wheels? In life you must have plans that will lead you to your goals in order to achieve them. If you know what you must do in order to get what you want then you will reach that goal. Not knowing what you must do or the decsions you need to take, will get you nowhere good. Not having plans to achieve your goals will lead you to absolutley nothing, which is not something you'd like. If you know what you are looking for, you will find it. For example, wanting to become a doctor, knowing what you have to do in order to be a doctor and actually doing what you are supose to, will lead you to becoming the doctor you want to be. Everything depends on the decsions you make for your future, if you really work hard for it, and if you know the direction you are headed towards to. Only you can make the decision of accomplishment or failure.

"Only those live who do good" - Count Leo Tolstoy 
Doing good is a major role that follows you through your life. Your decisions, right or wrong determine your future. Good decisions lead you into a good life. Bad decisions lead you into a bad life. A bad life is fulfilled with negativity, and regrets. For example a person who does bad will forever be scared of getting caught and will never feel good about what they've done. A Person who does good will enjoy looking back at their achievements and what they've come to accomplish. There is always a point where everything you've done comes back to you, and only you have the decision of whether you want good things to come your way or bad. People who live doing good will reach higher things than people who don't manage the actions they are taking. Deciding what you want determines what you want in the future as well. That is why it is important to do good in order to live good, in order to live with accomplishments, and reach your goals.

"I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and i can change that (poverty). It depends on how hard i want to work, and i decided that i would change it." Dr. Ben Carson

People can make the decision of either failing in life or succeeding in life. They have the choice whether to do good or bad. Education is the key to be anything you want in life. Without education no one would have careers. Poverty is something you decide to have, because if you decide to make the wrong decisions its like you are choosing what is bad for you. MAking good decisions will make you a successful person in life that will be able to achieve anything they want. No one could stop you from doing what you want other than yourself, because if you really want it you would do anything in your hands to get what you are looking for. Education is the main focus, because education is what gets you to be a person with value. You could not be valued if you are not educated.

"Enthusiasm makes the difference." Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Having Enthusiasm pushes you to do stuff you wouldn't do if you were always dull and depressed. It is important to be happy and confident with yourself to achieve anything you put yourself up to. For example, passing your classes with good grades. If you believe in yourself to get good grades you will achieve it,but if not you will get nowhere due to the negative attitude you have. When people have enthusiasm they are energetic, and full of ideas/thoughts that could help them out through their journey. When you lack interest is when you start to close doors on your self. When you lose confidence and energy to continue what you are working on is when you mess up. Enthusiasm is an important role that should be part of anything you want to achieve. Without it their is no fun, no movement to where you are reaching for. Progress is due to your attitude and how cognizant you are on what you must do to move forward.Moving forward it is not just about smart you are.

" It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma (destiny, fortune, goodluck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you." - Dr. Randy Pausch

Living life the right way leads to being able to achieve your dreams. Living your life the wrong way only brings you bad karma which prevents you from achieving your goals. It is important to not only go towards your goals but go towards how you live your life in general. The reason for this is because not living your life the correct way will bring you obstacles and closed doors. For example, a person who makes bad choices and whose life is a total mess might not be able to work towards or achieve a goal because of all the bad habits and mistakes he/she has done. Your destiny is based on only your actions, and the choices you decide to make. Only you can prevent yourself from achieving anything you want, and that is by making the wrong choices. If you lead your life the right way you can achieve your dreams. The dreams will come to you if you make good choices for yourself and always do the right things that you know are correct. Karma comes back.

"Of all the work that is done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation." - Theodore Roosevelt

What this quote is making you understand is that the body, mind, and character all go together. If you do not have one or the other it will affect you. If you have a bad mind it affects your character which affects your body which is affecting you. You have to make the decision to either educate all those three things or not. Having moral and spiritual training is important. Without these three things it can affect you in a way.
