"Nothing is ever gained in doing whats wrong."

-Wilford Woodruff

When you decide to do something that is not right, you dont gain anything. But you can lose things such as friendships, relationships, respect, your reputation and etc. If you decide to steal, theres a 50/50 chance youll get caught. If you do get caught, itll stay on your record and your reputation will go down the drain(if you had a good one before this) Many people wont hire you because of that, it follows you. You might lose peoples respect if you do something like drink so much that you pass out. You also lose your reputation as a "scholar" "straight a student" or whatever they call you. You have to ctr because if you dont, youll start loosing many things little by little. Maybe even your life. Drinking can end your life.

"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches."

- Proverbs 22:1

Your reputation is worth more than gold and all those expensive things. You might have all the money in the world but if you dont have a good reputation, everything will go down the drain. People tend to define you based on your reputation. If you have a bad reputation, you're a bad person. If you have a good reputation, you're a good person. Your reputation is very important. It takes years to build, maybe even a life time. But it only takes a few seconds/ minutes in destroy it. It is very hard to rebuild your reputation after you've destroyed it. It stays with you forever, people look at it all the time. If you destroy it, people dont look at you the same and you make yourself look pathetic. Your reputation is yours and only yours, only you have control over it. Choose the path you want to walk upon. Choose it wisely.
