"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don;t do it."

"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it."
- George Mitchell

Cheating is never worth the repercussion. I dislike cheaters. Also liars. I totally do agree that in sports
cheaters are the worst. How can players dare cheat in a game and end up disappointing their friends, family, and family. Cheating is simply not ok or ever. Cheaters do not improve themselves by cheating. When cheaters cheat, they are not improving themselves because they are taking easy shortcuts to find success or accomplish something but they are not doing it fairly. If you were to keep trying without cheating you would improve every time you perform. Steroids are the worst drugs you can use in a sport. It is tricking the person's muscles and they are being tricked by being stronger but in reality when they wear off their muscles start to shrink and they become soft and weak like they were before. Cheating is not leaving yourself as a good character. When you get caught, you will always be known as a cheater and your reputation will be ruined.

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it."

"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it." 
By:Marcus Aurelius 


This quote means that if you feel that something is not right, you shouldn't do it because after you'll feel guilt and it is the wrong thing to do. It's also saying that if you hear anything like for example a rumor about anyone, you should not say it because it is not true. You wouldn't want anyone to say anything about knowing if it's true or not. You shouldn't do any of these things because that is choosing the wrong and you will have to go through some bad consequences if you get caught. There are many consequences when you choose the wrong and you don't want to go through them because you will regret it. If you choose the right you will be rewarded. You shouldn't be doing something that isn't right and making up stuff if you know it's not true. This quote is amazing because it's showing us that we shouldn't pay attention to the bad decisions people have said, put to correct those people on their own mistakes. If you know what you're doing is wrong, do the opposite and do the right thing. Doing what is right and saying what is right is always the best thing to do. The reason why is because if you choose the right, good comes your way and you will always have success in your life. In my opinion, this is a good quote from Marcus Aurelius. People should consider it because talking what is not true and choosing what is not right can affect your life.

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."
By:Chick Moorman
This quote means that doing what is right, fair and honorable is way more important than winning or losing. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it only matters if you do what's right. Winning can be a good thing but when you lose it's ok because there is always a next time and you just need to practice. You should never give up on what you want to accomplish. It's best to be a good sport than winning or losing. In a game it's mostly important to be fair and honorable. This is like a good sportsmanship.You're being fair and not being a inaugurate. And rather than winning or losing it's best for you to be doing the right. Most people will see and notice the sportsmanship that you have and it doesn't care if you win or lose it's about choosing the right.

Integrity

"1. Have the courage to say no. 2. Have the courage to face the truth. 3.Do the right thing because it is right. These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity."
By: W. Clement Stone

What W. Clement Stone is saying that you should always have courage. You always need to choose the right even though you don't have the courage to do it. You also need the courage to face the truth and blame it on somebody else. You need to choose the right because it's the right thing to do. When you choose the right, you'll feel good. In order to fulfill a truthful life, you need to live by these rules. For example, if a friend offers you drugs you should say no and walk away. You want to avoid yourself from choosing the wrong. Whatever you choose to do, you will face the consequences. You either will face good or bad consequences by choosing the right or not. And another example is getting caught when you are cheating on a test by copying someone elses, you should own up and tell the truth. At the end you will feel relief and better about yourself because you were being honest. Following these useful steps will help you live with a lot of integrity.
