Student Success Statement: Thomas A. Monson

"You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right" -Thomas A. Monson

  This quote means that when you are doing wrong it can never be a good thing or right. It also means that when you are doing right it can never be a bad thing or wrong. When you do something right you will always be able to recognize it as correct. When you do something wrong you will also always be able to recognize it as bad. You just have to have the ability of always choosing the right in order to know and understand the difference between right or wrong.

  There are many examples of how right will always be right and wrong will always be wrong. For example, if you stand up for someone who is being bullied you know you did it because it was just the right thing to do other than just standing around. Another example would be you getting a bad grade in a class and you not wanting to tell your parents because you know that it is wrong and you don't want to get in trouble for it. It is important for you to know the difference in order to be successful in life by choosing what is right instead of wrong. This is basically what I understood from the quote above from Thomas A Monson.
