Be True

“ I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong”

Abraham Lincoln

This quote means that you are always going to stay true to yourself and others and you don’t care if you win or lose. You will always know what is right and what is wrong and you will stand with someone is is right and if stand by yourself for what you believe. Being true makes you a honest, trustworthy person that anyone go look up to. If you always do what is right then you then in return you will get a good life because you stay true to everyone around you. You make good decisions because you are able to tell what is right and wrong and you will always choose what is the best. For example, if you cheat on a test and get a good grade, you shouldn’t feel good about yourself. You need to stay true and tell the truth, be honest. Even if you know it will result in consequence then you will stand for what is right even if it may hurt. If you choose to not true nothing good will result from it that is why you need to always be true.
