“The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self- respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.” - Dr Laura Schlessinger
This quote means that it is important to choose the right in all situations. This is important because choosing the right is what leads you to become a better person in life. If you choose the right then you will get a positive impact not a reward but something much better like respect or integrity. You will start to feel good about yourself and choose the right more often. Choosing the right won’t always just affect others around you but you as well. This is why it is so important to choose the right all the time.
There are many examples of why you should choose the right in every situation and not just because of a reward. For example, If you are to find something like an ipad with money in a case somewhere , what’s the right thing to do? Well the right thing to do would be to turn it into the authorities so that the rightful owner can get it back. The wrong thing to do would be to keep the ipad and money for yourself when it wasn’t yours in the first place. You might not earn a reward for this good deed but at least you've earned self-respect and integrity. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Dr. Laura Schlessinger.
