“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

Henry David Thoreau

I think what Henry is trying to say is that many other investments may fail but the only one that doesn’t is goodness, I guess everything you do with good intentions and with goodness never fails. Everything you put hard work into, and dedication will come out positive and not negative. I think maybe he’d try to encourage people to do things with good intentions. Out of all investments that you make, goodness is the only one who won’t let you down. 

World Records

1. A World record would be the oldest gymnast, she is 87 years old and still performs. She performed a floor and beam routine on the set of Guinness World Records; Tallest teenager in the world.; Worlds tallest water slide.
2. Johanna Quass, the oldest gymnast. Rumeysa Gelgi, tallest teenager.
3. September 13, 2012
4. My favorite world record would be the highest tight rope record with walk across Swiss peaks.
5. I am fascinated with this world record because it is absolutely terrifying and fascinating because how could someone attempt that, it is amazing.
6. I think I would like to break a world record but theres really nothing special that I can do and capable of doing, so it probably wouldn’t happen. 

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”

Theodore Hesburgh
I think what Theodore is trying to say from this is that your decisions aren’t based on influence, they are based on what you think and feel is right. He is saying you aren’t going to make a decision just because it is popular, or cheap or easy; you are going to make decisions because they benefit you. If a decision you think is wrong he’s saying you shouldn’t make it because only you know what is right.

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound (not good).”

Joseph Smith
I think what Joseph was trying to say by saying this is that every human being can tell right from wrong, and that what everyone should be doing is giving attention to what is sound and good. To what is positive and impacts us in a positive way. The negative and wrong things should have no attention and no popularity. I think he is trying to encourage us by doing what’s right so everyone can know the positive things that are going on.

“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.”

Brigham Young

I think this quote means, that you don’t necessarily need to ask for freedom or independence, you get through doing the right things. You have the right, independence and freedom to do what’s right and make the right choices. I think people confuse what freedom is because they think freedom is doing whatever they want and being rebels but being free is much more than that. Being free is being able to make right choices and helping whoever is in need or the community or something.
