Success Statement
“Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’
Expediency asks the question ‘Is it
politic?’
Vanity asks the question ‘Is it popular?’
But, conscience asks the question, ‘Is it
right?’ and there comes a time when one must take a position that I neither
safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience
tells one that it is right.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Reflection: Everyone in the world has a conscience
that they do or don’t follow. The biggest problem I see now days is the problem
that instead of people following what they know is right or wrong they follow
what the world offers them. What Dr. Martin Luther King Jr is trying to tell us
is that there will be a time when we have to choose to do the right thing no
matter how unpopular or scary it might be. It might not be safe, might not be
political, it might not be popular, but it’s always right. The world offers you
drugs and offers you money and offers the worst things sometimes. Why should we
take up that offer when we know that it is wrong? I know that in my heart if I was
ever offered drugs I would say know because I know in my gear that they are
wrong. Now some people don’t care if it’s wrong they just want to look cool.
The conscience is always right, I know some say that we should follow our
hearts but our hear t can deceive us and will tell us what we want. It wants us
to do the right thing but our conscience looks out for us and says ‘No’. I’m
not saying the heart is bad but don’t always follow it because the heart can be
deceiving. Just always do what is right no matter what.
