An internal phenomenon

"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem." - Dr. Laura Schlessinger 

In my interpretation of this quote from Dr. Laura Schlessinger, she implies that we should all do what
's right and what are the steps that follow. For instance, in order to become anything you will have to follow the regulations and the steps into it, in this case, a CTR person. She states that to become a CTR person you will need to have self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem. THese all play key roles in an internal phenomenon. If you were to follow the key roles then you will lead to success and minor failures along the way. Because not everyone is perfect. Listen to her and to your fellow colleagues on how you can become an internal phenomenon even in the smallest areas.

It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today,"- James freeman Clarke

James Freeman Clarke is trying to infer that when you do good or bad or something that one day it can affect the rest of your life and others. No matter what the consequences are or the rewards are, you will get some sort of recognition of your deed. For instance the movie shooting of Colorado, he was sentence to 12 life sentences for the death of 12 insist people. Before he committed this, he was a scholar who had many doors open for him to be successful. Until that one day where everything took a turn and he the complete opposite. Like the quote's message do wrong today it may make a difference to all eternity. Another example is, in Michigan a kid had cancer and died, the family decided to do what his son would of wanted. So they thought that by them celebrating the holidays and his could of been his 9 birthday. They also payed for the person behind them as a good deed and didn't realize that it would make such an difference.  Soon after the word was spread out and everyone started to do it, even across the world. In these two situations you can see where the good and the bad are displayed and affected. And whether or not they were choosing the right and the wrong. So think about your chooses and learn how to appreciate them and learn that no matter what choice you make it will effect you.

"Ask your self is it right or wrong and act accordingly."- Otto Graham Jr.

In many people's eyes and thinking as the quote above states your have to ask your self the important question and act accordingly. In some cases, well to others they might say no or in all cases you have too. Which may be right or wrong and we all don't think alike, we all have our own mindset and choices which is what make me, me and you , you. For instance, the homeless man was asking for money on the street because he needed it for food or for anything, and this women gave him some spare change that she had. And accidentally she dropped her engagement ring in the cup with the change with out even realizing it. She went about her day and she didn't even know she lost it and dropped it in the cup. The homeless man saw the engagement ring and went to the nearest jewelry store to see how much it was worth and it was worth $4,000. He could of easily exchanged the ring and got the money and ended up the same way he started like two weeks later. But instead, he asked him self the important question and he decided that he would return the engagement ring to the lady and do what is right. And so he waited and soon turned it in to her when she came back three days later. She was so grateful that she even started a fund for him so he can gain more money to help him get back on his feet the right way. And lead to him gaining triple them money that the ring was worth and reunited with his family. By him the homeless man following the quote above and choosing the right he felt good and ended up with him getting taken care of. It could of gone the opposite way and he would of felt guilty and chosen the wrong. But he didn't and the turn out was phenomenal.

"What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't right." Albert Einstein.

In my personal opinion, in a way I agree with what he is trying to imply to others. For instance like the video that was shown to us on how people in Australia are drinking and binge drinking ans they think is cool since it's popular and they don't think it's wrong. And another video that was shown to us was a retired real estate agent and barber is cutting hair and giving free hair make overs to homeless people at the park. And this might not be popular but is right. So this example of both parts of the quote that no matter what even if majority rules you stick to your opinion or your mindset if you know its wrong or in any way causing harm to you or to others. Another example is when you are in a relationship and you think it's right since everyone is doing it and your not ready for one and you are in a wrong toxic relationship. In other words, you are not mature enough or it's not the right time and you think your ready so you go through with it and you get in to a relationship. Well not all of them are perfect so you get in to one and guess what it's toxic and you think it's not since your friends and almost everyone you know is in one and they seem cool. And IT"S NOT COOL because you are in danger and you shouldn't be in that position, nor should anyone for that matter. Back to the quote just because it's popular doesn't mean it's right. Follow your gut and think about your actions before committing them.
