“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau

Investing in goodness is starting in a great path. You can never fail when you invest in goodness because it will always pay off. When you invest in goodness you will always get satisfaction out of it and a good consequence. For example if you invest time helping out in your community, that is investing in goodness. Only positive things will come out of your future because you are helping the community you live in. You will make a better environment for yourself and your family. How is that a failure? Always invest in goodness because it will never fail.

“What’s right isn’t always popular: What’s popular isn’t always right.”

        Howard Cosell

The right things, what is right it not very common because people don’t often do it. Some people are afraid to do the right thing because they will get maked fun of or considered unpopular. The popular things usually involve making bad decisions, decisions that people think are “cool”.  For example many teens in the generation smoke marijuana, a bad decision but they do it because its popular. They think if they make the right decision and walk away from it they won’t be popular they won’t fit in. Another example is helping others out, in high school this is a big problem. Many students don’t help other students in need out because that is not popular; you are considered “weird” or a “nerd” the unpopular thing. Whether the right decision is unpopular or popular you should always make them!

 “You will never regret doing what’s right.”
        -Anon

I strongly agree with this statement. You will never feel bad for doing the right thing. For example, if you help an elder cross the street you will not regret it you will actually feel like a better person. On the contrary when you do something bad like cheat on a test you feel guilty and always have it in your conscience. When you do what’s right you always seem to feel better , to life a happier life.
