"If your so-called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right., even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow."
-Thomas S. Monson
I think that Mr. Monson is trying to tell you to make the right decisions eve if no one takes your side. If you stand alone it makes you a figure for people to follow because you made the right choice. Let us say you are at a party and your friends start drinking. They tell you to take a drink but you refuse to because you have to drive back home. They tell that it's not a big deal because it's only a little sip but you still say no. With this said you made the correct decision therefore you saved your life from getting in danger. Now if you would have said yes and you took that drink think about the consequences. You could have gotten a DUI, you could have had your license suspended or worse you could have been in an accident. Even if your friends tell you to try always think about the pros and cons before you give them your final response. In the end if you made the right choice your actions will prove it. Everything matters so choose the correct path even if you're the only one choosing it.
