“Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain,but it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don’t do it.”

By - George Mitchell Senate Majority Leader, Presidential Medal of Freedom, Disney Chairman of the Board

This quote is advising us to not be cheaters and to keep going even though it gets tough. We have to keep going because cheating is never the answer to the things we want to accomplish. Meaning if we want to do something we have to do it for us and not cheat we have to be able to learn and do things no matter how hard things get. For example if we know we are going to have homework and a lot of it we should stay home and do it instead of going out with our friends. Once we decide we are  going to go out then we forget about our homework and we tell our friends if we can copy and cheat. That is not correct because there is nothing worse than a cheater not only do we affect ourselves but we affect the people around us. When we cheat not only are we getting into problems we might get others into problems too by dragging them into it. George Mitchell gives us a great example telling us that there is nothing that will ever be worse than a cheater because it's true once we are known for being a cheater people will start to not trust us and the people who we surround with will be looked as a cheater as well. We shouldn’t cheat because we need to work for ourselves and not cheat on the things we like to do because that will make us look bad.

“ Act well you part; there all honor lies”-By;Alexander Pope

                       

This quote is telling us how we shouldn’t lie we have to act well so we don’t make a fool out of ourselves. No matter the consequences we have to always be ourselves and act right because if we choose ctw then we will end up looking bad. For example if we are winning as a school there will be no reason to cheat because we are not acting well. It will be a tragedy if we do an achievement and then later on people find out i achieved but because i cheated.  There is no reason to cheat because we can always make it better if we act the right way. Many of us think that if we do things by cheating we will be more successful but is that true? For a moment we will believe that we are really getting it and people will cheer us on but when everyone finds out the truth they will only see you with bitter eyes. If we act well in life there is a higher chance of more success. For example if a kid cheats on an exam when he is asked to explain he won’t comprehend what he is talking about and that is when people will know he cheated and he will look like a complete fool in front of everyone. But on the other hand if we produce our own work we will  be able to explain the things we did and people will be very proud of us.
