“Always do right.”
-mark twain
Always choose to do good in life as it will make you a wonderful person. Doing what is right will get you far in life as it is doing what is right that people like the most. When one chooses the right he chooses a life of ease and free of worry. As Voltaire once said “a man is always guilty of the good he did not do.”

More Tips
Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.
  • Read the website's home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.
  • If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author's education, profession, and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the web.
  • Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.
  • Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.
  • Avoid sites that are pornographic vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive and falsifying.

“Gold medals don’t make champions… hard work does.”
-ANON
Ones status as a champion is not determined by the things that say he is but by the things he has worked through to achieve that witch he has gained. Hard work triumphs over any recognition one might receive for what they have done. It is hard work that defines one as a champion not some reward they receive.

Read between the lines
Make a judgment about the sit’s and responsibilities based on your own analysis of the site on the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:
-Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.
-Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.
-Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.
-Check the links of the source that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writings, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography

“The right way is not always the popular way, standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.”
-Margaret Chase Smith
People may not always believe that the right way is the best way but what does it matter if it is your choice? When one chooses the right even when that choice is socially unpopular that is when you know you are strong and that your morals mean much more to you than what a bunch of people think about you. To choose the right over all that is wrong that is the hardest thing to do but it is worth it.
