"I won't cheat"-Dale Murphy

  This quote means that I won’t cheat because cheating is very wrong and it can lead you down the wrong path. If you don’t cheat ever you will be choosing the right and this will lead you to success. You will not ever have to feel guilty and worried about the consequences if you choose the right and avoid cheating. If you do cheat you will feel guilty and it will lead you to worse things than cheating. It is important to avoid cheating it will help you later on in the future to not cheat.

    There are many examples of how cheating can affect your life. For example, you are caught cheating at a competition and from then on no one feels able to trust you. This will affect you because people won’t look at you the same way as before because of a simple mistake. Another example would be you cheating on a test and you never getting caught. This can also affect you because you will be so use to cheating you will do it all the time and not be able to stop yourself from this. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Dale Murphy.

“Character matters most” - Dale Murphy

This quote means that character is important above all. With character you can be lead to do so many great things in life. Without character you will be dragged down in life not being able to accomplish anything. Character helps for others to see you as a good person and make you stand out from the crowd. Good character is what matters most because character is displayed through everything.

There are many examples of how character is important. For example, if you didn’t study for a test but the person next to you did what do you do? Well someone with character would not cheat and just try to do the best they can. Someone without character wouldn’t care if it was right or wrong and go ahead and cheat. This can affect you because you will feel guilty and there is always consequences for every situation. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Dale Murphy.
