“Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.”-Benjamin Franklin

I strongly agree with this quote because it is true if we have everything and don’t have a nice heart then you really don’t have anything.  For example if you have everything but have a bad attitude towards people then really don’t have anything because your friends wouldn’t want to be around you. Having a nice heart is way better than having everything else in the world because what’s the whole point of you having everything if you are going to have a nasty heart. What I mean is that people think they have everything but in reality they don’t because a nice heart is what really matters. If we have a nice heart then everything will come out good for us even though we don’t have the riches. There has been many occasions where believe having riches is way better than having  a nice hart but that isn’t true because they end up all alone. The reason they end up alone is because people don’t want to be around them because they have an ugly heart. If we want to be different then we have to have a nice heart because it will make us feel better about ourselves and people will notice we aren’t as shallow as they may believe.

Summary

This video related to our quotes because when we recreate in a good way then we will manage how to do good. For example when the UP team cheered for the prisoners they did good because they felt that someone always needs someone to cheer them on. Even if they were criminals the UP team believed that they should be cheered on either way because they might want to recreate themselves in a good way. Sometimes we believe that we shouldn’t be nice to people because they aren’t nice. But the truth is we need to make them see that they can recreate themselves and be better than how they actually were. The high school of pennsylvania did good because they felt bad that the Tornados didn’t have the same oppurtunities they had. The high school students stated that “they always need someone to see their mistakes that it isn’t always perfect.”
