When you tell a lie - Paul hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, oh brother

You’re in trouble in your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won’t suspect you

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect

A life filled a life with worries and fears

‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies you've told

And half the things you say aren't true

And sometime you’ll slip-up, you’ll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep multiplying

‘Till the whole wide world will know you’re lying

Then you’ll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you’re closing the door

On everything good.

"Good thoughts bear good fruit. Bad thoughts bear bad fruit."-James Allen


Reflection: This quote is as direct as it can be, when we have bad thoughts even if we don't say them we are still hurting ourselves and if we have good thoughts we will fulfill ourselves. They is no good coming out of bad decisions or thoughts just bad memories and regrets. We all must have good thoughts to bear goodness in our hearts in any situation we are in. Always choose the right.

“CTR connects you to happiness and success- CTW disconnects." 
                                       -Mr. Haymore

 Reflection: When choosing to do right, it will bring youhappiness which will lead to success in your life. When choosing wrong it will bring regret and no success to your life. Everyone is placed in a road, where there are two arrows, one pointing to the left with a sign that’s says WRONG WAY!! , and the other arrow pointing to the right with a sign saying RIGHT WAY! But it’s our decision to choose which way we want our life’s to lead to destruction or success.

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company”- Anon

Reflection:  I personally believe that at moments of our life we must choose between being alone or being with someone that is going to influence us to do the wrong decisions.  It might seem hard to let go of that person but at the end we won’t have to suffer the consequences. We have to step up and be brave and know what’s right between wrong. We need to learn how to choose those who will become our friends because we all need real friends not fake ones. For example I once had a friend in 9^th grade and she told me to go with her because she wanted to smoke a cigarette and I knew if I went with her she might get caught and the principle would of thought I smoked too so I told her no and I left her. I preferred to be alone than to be with her influencing me to do wrong. We should always choose the right in every situation we are in.

“I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences.” – Robert E. Lee

Reflection:

It’s better to do what’s right than to do wrong. When doing wrong it’s easy to do and even to get away with, but even though there might be a consequence you will never forget it, it’ll always be in your conscience, you’ll have that bad feeling that you will want to regret but it’ll be too late. If you choose the right then you will have a good memory of the right choices you made and a good feeling about yourself. It might seem hard at times to do what's right but everyone has courage. Always choose the right.

Summary of 4 college boys being Honest

In the state of New Jersey 4 college boys walked into a store thinking it was open because the lights were on and the front door was open. When seeing their was no clerk to attend them, they got the items they needed and left the money that was due for the items at the register and even left change incase of tax. They left the store calmly with their items knowing they did the right thing.

Reflection: These young men gave everyone the example of what being honest truly means. They could of simply taken advantage of knowing no one was in the store and they could of stole what they needed but they did the right thing. By making this decision they didn't expect anything in return but at the end they were rewarded and they deserve it.
