Comedian Groucho Mark said, “Those are my principles. If you don’t like them, I have others.”
You and I have principles and we also have
31 . I have opinions about what I think is right or wrong or good or bad. But they’re only opinions —I could be
32 ! I won’t try to build my life around my opinions,
33 I’ll try to keep to my principles.
A 15-year-old boy learned a valuable
34 about life principles. One day, he found a wallet that
35 $127 as well as a woman’s
36 . He jumped onto his
37 and went to her house. He told her he found her wallet and she gave him a big
38 . She also gave him twenty dollars.
That evening the boy told his parents about the
39 and his father said, “I don’t think you should have
40 $20 for doing what you should have done. A person shouldn’t be rewarded for being
41 .”
He considered his father’s statement and
42 that he would return the money. He
43 biked to the lady’s home and gave her back the money. She didn’t want to
44 it, but he told her she had to — that his father
45 something to him that he had
46 realized before.
When ideals such as honesty and a personal standard of always doing the right thing guide our every action and decision, we
47 develop a good character. These great principles
48 our lives and make us into a person of
49 . They teach confidence. That boy is
50 to be raised by a wise father who had the wisdom to say, “Those are my principles.”
