People who make good choices get ahead in life.

To make good choices, you need to understand your values. Take time to figure out what you stand for and what you stand against.

It is easy to make the wrong decision. It is tough to be brave and step in and help someone who doesn't have the same influence you don't have.

In the long term, it will pay off to stand up for what you believe in and do what is right. Making an easy decision may benefit you in the moment, but there is no benefit later. In fact, it will hurt you down the road. If not with other people, you will erode your confidence in yourself.

We all have influence. If you speak up you never know who is listening. If you take the right action you never know the impact it will have on the people watching.
