Is the short term gain worth the long term pain?

Cheating: Is the short term gain worth the long term pain?

"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."

What this quote by George Mitchell means to me is that many people believe that being satisfied for a short term, guarantees you will be on the long term. Overall, we must never cheat because in a way we are cheating ourselves on sports, school, or in life in general, and these are habits we want to prevent. Cheating is down right unacceptable, but when it comes to sports, there is nothing worse than a cheater. It is way better to lose or win knowing you played fair, and were true not only to the sport, but to yourself, your teammates/team and to your competitors.

I won't do what?

"I won't cheat" - Dale Murphy

What this quote by Dale Murphy means to me is that, in order to be truly successful in sports and in life, we must never cheat ourselves towards success. Yes, winning in sports and in life is a huge bonus, but it means nothing if we got to were we are today by lying or cheating. If you don't cheat or you don't lie you will become a more respected person in society. Remember, cheating is like taking the easy way out, wouldn't you like to feel accomplished by actually trying to reach your goals or win without cheating or lying, not only will you be a good person, if you choose to not lie or cheat, you will be a person with great character.

What matters most?

Student Success Statement

"Character Matters Most." - Dale Murphy

What this quote by Dale Murphy means to me is that in sports and in life as well, we always want to have money, have that recognition, the fame, so people can remember us by, but in reality it means nothing if we have no character. Its okay to want some of these things, but we should pursue good character in sports and in life. Good character meaning being a good sport, always telling the truth, respecting others, recognizing your own mistakes, this will get you a better self image, which a whole lot better than money, fame, or possessions.

What exceeds all?

Student Success Statement

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

What this quote by Benjamin Franklin means to me is that you don't have to be born rich/poor, beautiful/handsome, strong/weak, because having a right heart exceeds all, saying, we as humans can be born in any way but if we are kind, respectful, always choosing whats right, that means we have a good heart or right heart. You may be poor or whatever the case may be, but if you have a good heart you are sure to live a better, more happy life than someone who is rich, but does not have a right heart.
