"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”
-Dr. Laura Schlessinger
What this quote means is that when you do good, good will come back to you. Sometimes you will receive an award but all that matters is that you are doing the right thing. When you do the right thing you will feel good about yourself. For example, the guy that Mr. Haymore showed us on the clip was a CTR man. He found an iPad packed with $13,000 in it and returned it back to the authorities. He was rewarded by the owner with $60. He wasn’t greedy with the money and gave some to a homeless lady whom he cared about. That displays that he is a man who has a good heart. If you choose the wrong then you will lose your self respect from others. Your self-worth will drop and your self-esteem will drop also. You should always be kind to others and they will be kind to you. This kind of refers to the Golden Rule because the rule is to treat others the way you want to be treated. If you treat someone with respect then they will respect you back.
