"if you do what's right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of."

          "If you do what's right, if you live the 
             right way, you'll be taken care of."
                        By: Rachel Castillo

This quote means that if you live and do what's right, people will always have like an urge or feeling of helping you and having your back. For example, if you lose something that belonged to you and you live and do what's right, people will be worried for you and will most likely help in whatever you may need. But if you're someone who always or mostly chooses to do the wrong thing, people wouldn't really care or bother to help you and be nice to you. It's not that people are being to you just because they want to, but your actions/decisions define the kind of person you are. So if something bad or unfortunate happened to them, people would think that they deserved it or something. Unlike someone who's always nice and respectful and has manners, they're the type of person that people will most likely like to associate with. Being that kind of person will give others the choice of helping you or being extremely nice to you when you don't need it or ask for it. Most people wouldn't want to associate with someone who's disrespectful and rude. I mean if you had the choice to help and be friends with someone who's rude and mean than someone who's generous and respectful, you'd obviously choose the nice person.

"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where goalposts are."

         "In life as in football, you won't go far,                     unless you know where goalposts are." 
                      By: Arnold H. Glosglow

This quote means that without your goals you won't get far. When you know your goals, you'll get far trying to achieve them. It's like when you're playing football. Without the goalposts, you won't know where to go or throw the ball to, so without them you won't know what to do or where to go. Your goals are what give you motivation to keep going in life and work hard to reach them. Without them, you won't know what to do and you wouldn't be so happy about going to school or working.  

"Only those live who do good."

              "Only those live who do good."

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

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

This quote means that when you choose to do the right thing, it isn't always going to be the popular choice. If you decide to be a follower and choose to do what everyone's doing, you're not choosing between right and wrong, you're choosing between popularity. For example, if you have the choice between hanging out with your friends and studying for the big test and you decide to hang out with your friends because they're not going to study, then you're choosing b

Poverty or Prosperity

"I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than     anything else, and I can change that. It depends        upon how hard I want to work, and I decided                             that I would change it."
                             By: Ben Carson

This quote means poverty is something that can happen to anyone depending on the choices they make. But, anyone can change that state of living if they decide to work hard. I agree with him since I hate poverty as well but anyone can change it. People can choose to work hard and get out of it. But there's people who are to lazy to work so they stay in poverty for a long time, even forever. Those people decided to not try to work. In most cases, people themselves have the blame for being in poverty. As sad as it can get, people decide to stay like that and not work to get out of it. They rely on people to help them out or blame others for their situation but yet they never work or try.
