“A promise must never be broken.”

-Alexander Hamilton

I strongly do agree with this quote from Mr.Hamilton because you should always keep your word no matter what. You need to be mature and take responsibility for yourself to keep a promise. Keeping a promise is a big responsibility because a person is giving you their trust and respect. Once you break a promise you will lose it. You are giving your word. If you say you’re going to do something or keep a secret then you have to do it no matter what comes in the way of that. Although there are times when I break some promises but I didn’t think it was a big deal for me but it was sure a big deal for the person who was trusting me. There are times when you should NEVER break a promise when that promise is really sentimental or deep. But in general you should never break a promise if you’re giving your word for it.

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau

What this quote defines is that when you try everything and nothing seems to work out, goodness will be by your side. If you try out something with goodness, it will never fail. Henry David Thoreau says that it will always be by your side. If you invest in bad things then they will fail. If you invest in good things then they will never fail. Investing in good things is choosing the right. If you CTR 24/7 then you will be on the right track and be happy. If you CTW then you will not be a very good person. CTW will never leave you to good investments. Henry Thoreau was a CTR man. This man knew what was right and fought for people and took a stand for them.

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they are popular; you make them because they’re right.”

By: Theodore Hesburgh

(Former President of Notre Dame)

It doesn’t matter how you judge the option. What matters is that it is correct. Your decision can mean anything but just make the correct one is what this quote is telling us. Take responsibility of your decision even if you stand alone and everyone goes against it. We shouldn’t make decisions by what others think or by popularity but we should make decisions by what we know is right. We should not go with the cheap way or the easy way because it will only hurt you in the long run.We should be taking the right way because it will benefit us in many different ways.
