“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in the determination”

-Tommy Lasorda

Nothing is impossible when you seek the goal with an almighty force of willingness to work and longing to achieve. If you really want something you will work for it. You will try and try again and look at the failures as experience. Never say never. Please don’t think about Justin Bieber okay? This is about Tommy Lasorda and his encouraging words that took the Dodgers baseball team to great victories c:

“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.”

-Roberts E. Lee

If we continue to do the right it will eventually become second nature and we will have the wonderful feeling obtained by having a pure conscience and no regrets or remorse. All we need is to practice our values to get a sense of righteousness. It’s easy. All you need to do is return that $20 bill you found or open the door for that young lady. Then you will begin to feel fulfilled.

“Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity”

-W. Clement Stone

Integrity is something I personally am proud of. Being able to say I do what is correct is one of the best feelings in the world because I know I am not hurting anyone with what’s right. I am a human being with faults but I shall not let anyone else influence me in such a way that can jeopardize my values and I need to be strong-willed to resist any of the temptations I may face. Honesty and courage can take someone so far.

Caught Doing the Right!

Four football players unknowingly entered a store that was closed believing it was open. They showed absolutely all signs of integrity by showing all intent on paying for the merchandise . Given the opportunity to steal, temptation didn’t even touch these wholesome teenagers. They knew how to be honest and practice their values. The act of integrity was caught on camera, and they were tracked down. Instead of being punished for breaking in and trespassing they were praised and given a $50 dollar gift card. They had no idea they would be offered such a prize for something as simple as doing the right. Nowadays it’s rare to find people with values as good as those. It goes to show that going the highway will pay off. We can learn from these four young men. They are simply wonderful and honest people.

I have three messages:

                       We should never, ever give up.

                       You are never too old to chase your dreams

                       It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team

-Diana Nyad, American Swimmer

Let not the outside forces of life get into our souls to hinder our spirits. Let not the tick and tock of clocks and time decide whether to hang up your dreams and wildest expectations of the fruit which you reap from what you love. Let not forget the wonderful people who have helped and scurried us so, that they have not let us thrown in the towel when we wanted to most.

-Janeth Preciado Vargas

“Always do Right”

Mark Twain

The simplicity of this action and complexity of its meaning make practicing good values both the hardest and the easiest thing to do.  What does it take to do right? Well, just follow laws and practice goodness. It will take you to the successful path in life. Then again, if we explore its difficulty we remember that we as human beings have all had experiences where we did not follow that rule. Maybe sometimes it’s easier not to do our homework and not do what is told, but will it benefit you in the long run? No, it will not. Life will be made harder for those who choose to do wrong. That’s why one should always do the correct thing.
