"Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly."
                                              -Otto Graham, Jr.

I believe that this is quote is trying to say is that before you decide to do something you should ask yourself if it is right or wrong then if it is right, go ahead and do it but if it is wrong then forget it. There are only paths in life the right and wrong. If you go towards the wrong path then you have been choosing the wrong answer your whole life. If you decide to go down the right way then you have been choosing to go through the correct path. Think about this. It is after a school game and you and your teammates want to celebrate. One of the guys suggest that you guys go to the bar and another one suggest that you guys just go and get some food. Which one would you pick? The bar may seem like a reasonable selection because you deserve to relax and have a drink or two right? WRONG! If you go to the bar then you are only putting your life at risk because one drink can already determine that you are in for a DUI. But if you go and get some food then you can go home and have a little after party with the team. The food is the better decision at this point. When you come across questions like these you have to ask yourself if it is the right or wrong thing to do and then think about the aftermath. So when you ever get asked hey let's go get a drink. First you need to think about it then you must determine what could happen if you do get a drink and finally you reply with what you think is right which would be no because you have to get home. Everything counts in life so make sure that you make the right choices.
