They’re Right

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”

Theodore Hesburgh

This quote mean that you should always be aware of the decisions you make because you know what is right and you should always choose what is right and not what is wrong. You should be able to make the right decisions because they are the ones that you think will be right for you. Don’t make bad decisions and do the wrong thing because that will only bring you trouble. When you make decisions because they are easy or popular, do it because you want to do the right thing and challenge yourself. For example, if you had to make a decision whether you had to be irresponsible and not follow directs or choose to be able to get things done and then do what you want. The right thing to do is to choose to not get into any trouble and do what is right instead of picking to do what is wrong. When you make wrong decisions you are aware of what you are doing and you should be smart enough pick right from wrong. You choose to pick the right decision because you know that somehow it will benefit you.
