“ Always Do Right”

                                   

Nowadays most people and children are growing up using bad words and being disrespectful because of society. But this is because they way people educate and act upon certain things. When you use violence in front of a child they would grow up to be aggressive themselves. So it is better to do the right thing and teach them good qualities when they are young before it is too late. Always doing the right would not grant you regret because when you choose to do the right thing you are becoming more humble and kind amongst others rather than building up rancor. Like I said today many people are not choosing the right so it is quite astonishing when you see someone doing the right things and being generous. Some people admire these types of actions and even if others don’t what your choices are is what makes you who you are. It is rather great to have quality than quantity. All others may be falling off track but it is never too late to start doing what is right. The best things come out of good actions.

“It’s better to be alone, than to be with bad company”

Being alone can mean a lot of things, you can be alone but have a lot of people around you, or you can be alone but have just that 1 person, or you could be alone and have nobody. Whichever the problem is, it is always better to be alone than with bad company, because later on in life having bad company includes fake people, and bad reputations. If you hang out with people who drink and party all the time people would see you as one of them even if you don’t drink. Having bad company can influence you to do the wrong choices you can not take back. So instead of having bad people surrounding you, it is a lot better to be alone or associate with good people who actually want to see you succeed in life. However, you cannot be lonely if you like the person you are alone with. I mean if you are happy about yourself you can have fun by yourself. You can become a better person by choosing the right and be with good people.
