"Courage is being scared to death and doing the right thing anyways."

-Chae Richardson

We should always do what is right, even when things get hard or scary! One should have courage and face their fears. A big part of having courage is to always doing what is right even if one is scared. It was my last basketball game and i was scared to death! I didn't want to play because i was afraid to mess up but i knew my team needed me. They were counting on me! I could have easily not showed up but even if i was scared to death i did the right thing and showed up!

I don't really understand this quote but i believe it is true. I think we should always do well so we can have honor. We all have a roll in life and i think this quote is saying one should be able to complete it and have a good live. One should not have to worry about once honor if we do what is right.

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

-Sophocles

I strongly respect the people who believe this but i personally believe that honor isn't all that great. Sometimes it can be the reason for your death!! I'm not saying you shouldn't have any but you have to be careful  and not take it to far. Learn when it's okay to give in.
