“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

Well I don’t know much about ships but I do know that without a rudder the ship can’t go anywhere. And this is such a good comparison because without a goal in life there is no point in living. The whole point of living is to look forward to your life and so something that you love but keeps you busy at the same time.

 Thomas Carlyle

“The Six Pillars of Character”

Fairness

I believe the Six Pillars of Character are very important. All of these traits will help you in life. They are used to teach good character and are composed of six ethical values everyone can agree upon. The Six Pillars of Character values are not political, religious, or culturally biased

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.”

Sophocles

This quote is saying that you should choose the right no matter what. Even if it causes you to lose or to fail at something at least you did it with honor and not by cheating. The message it I s trying to get across is that you should never cheat no matter what.
