Brigham Young

"True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right."-Brigham Young once said. This quote truly has a good meaning in the sense that you have freedom in doing what's right. For example lets say that you want to go out with some friends. You ask your parents if you can go out and they say yes if only if you can run some errands. You do what they ask from you and go out doing the errands for them. When you return from them they let you go out with your friends since you did was right and listened to your parents. Now lets say that you did the opposite of this. You ask your parents if you may go out and the same scenario accrues. Instead of doing whats asked you decide to go to sleep and freshen up to go out. When your friends come for you, you are not able to go since you didn't do anything so you can't go out. So do whats right.

Count Leo Tolstoy

"Only those live who do good."- Count Leo Tolstoy once said. When you do good things you feel good about it. This is because you don't have to live with guilt of doing something bad. for example lets say that you see someone who just got robbed and they where robbed lets say $50. You feel bad for that person and you see that you might have that much . You hand the money to the person and tell them why you gave it to them and most likely they will be grateful for you doing that. Now lets say that you where the person who committed the crime. You then have to worry about getting caught by officials and hopping that they don't track you down.

The 3 questions - Lou Holtz

The 3 questions we should ask ourselves to live a good life are. Can people trust me to do the right thing. Am i committed to doing my very best. Lastly do I treat people the way i want to be treated. If you can live by these rules I am positive that you can a live a good life. Also these rules were presented and said by Lou Holtz who was a football coach and would use these rules not only for his team but also for himself. Lou believes that if you can follow these rules you are able to live a better life as well as one which you are happier in. Believe or not it is true i live by these rules as well and you know what it makes me happier to be in this world we live in because i live by these rules. I would suggest that you try living by these rules everyone in a while or every day if your ups to it and see how much better of a person you can be and feel as well. Overall I think that this is an outstanding statement from Lou and I believe that everyone should live this as well.
