Abraham Lincoln 

 

" I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong."  

As simple as butter on bread, this quote shows how many of us think winning is the limit in a game, but it isn't. The point of winning is when you play with good character. When you are being a game piece in this world the others are looking for your qualities and what you have to master the spot you want to earn. If I want to be someone in life I have to be true to myself and true to others, because I wouldn't be a bad person to get what I want. It is all one you do good, be good, get good, life is good. But if you do the opposite the world will come rolling on top of you like dominoes. I mean it is not hard to be a good person, when you are surrounded by good people and good thoughts. Be a good example for others and you'll see a change in the world by the act of kindness you provide.  

     " When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad I feel bad."

                                                - Abraham Lincoln

                                          

     This quote by Abraham Lincoln says it all, even the line says it all. When we do good for either a person or for ourselves, we feel good about it. We have this feeling of happiness that fulfills our soul and tells us "High five, you did good." Like when we do good in a test because we studied until 3 AM last night or when we gave money to a homeless man in the streets. All those are examples of when we do good and we feel good about it. in contrast when we do bad the opposite happens. We have the sensation of guilt and stress because we know sooner or later the truth will come out. Yup, we have all been through a situation of whether or not we should be condor and tell the truth once and for all, but we know if we tell the truth we are going to get more into trouble if we tell a lie. So that's probably we all take the easy way out a lie. But later on in life we still go back to the situation and we keep thinking about it over and over again. Yes, we feel bad and guilty although it might have not gotten no body hurt it still makes you feel bad. So that is why we should choose the right and do good most of the time. If we know something we are doing is bad, simply take the other route and leave situations that would lead you to trouble alone. Because when you do bad you feel bad. So you should always try to do good things for people and for yourself because what you get in return is something more valuable than money can buy.
