"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all."
                      -Benjamin Franklin

  I believe that this quote is saying that you don't need to look good to make the impact on the world, you need to be kind to others and that will truly impact the world. If you have good looks, strength, and riches, how long do you think they are going to last? Not very long because in reality none of those things are necessary. When you have good looks you tend to make others feel down about themselves because you think that they want to be like you. When you have good strength you tend to make fun of others because of how weak they may look. When you have riches you treat others as if they were your slaves because you think you have all the power in the world. Well news flash. There's something that can break down all of that. A right heart. A person who has a right heart doesn't need to have good looks, strength, or riches because they know what they are capable of when they are being kind to others. A right heart means you have a kind heart, it means that you treat others with respect despite what they look like or how they act. A right heart as so little power but they use to shine brighter than those who have strength, looks and riches. A person with a right is the light that guides everyone out of the darkness because they don't want others to go through pain. A person with a right always does the right thing. For example if the strongest person in your class did more push-ups than you and they started laughing when you were struggling a person with a right heart would come over an tell you that there are many more chances to do more than others. But you always have to believe in yourself. Everyone can have a right heart, you just have to make the right choices and believe in yourself and others.
