Sophocles

“I WOULD PREFER TO FAIL WITH HONOR THAN WIN BY CHEATING.”

SOPHOCLES

THIS MEANS THAT IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU LOSE WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU DIDN’T CHEAT TO WIN. NOT CHEATING SHOWS YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER AND YOU’LL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE YOURSELF BETTER. CHEATING CAN HELP YOU WIN A RACE OR HELP YOU PASS A TEST, BUT NOTHING FEELS BETTER THAN WHEN YOU WIN SOMETHING BY YOURSELF. I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO CHEAT ON A TEST AND PASS IT WITH A GOOD SCORE. ONCE YOU GET BACK YOUR SCORE YOU WON’T BE AS HAPPY AS IF YOU WOULD’VE GOTTEN IT BY STUDYING HARD AND DOING YOUR BEST. HAVING HONOR IN EVERYTHING YOU DO MATTERS AND IF YOU DON’T HAVE HONOR ON WHAT YOU DO BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU DID SOMETHING BAD THEN DON’T DO IT. IT’S BETTER TO DO SOMETHING THE RIGHT WAY BECAUSE YOU’LL HAVE A GOOD CONSCIOUS. NOT LIVING IN PEACE KILLS YOU. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AT ALL TIMES.
