"The reward for doing right is mostly on internal phenomenon : (Self-Worth), integrity, and self-esteem." - Dr. Laura Schlessinger

We are often raised and used to be rewarded for the good things in life. There isn't any doubt that everybody is selfish for specific things in life. When it comes to doing great gratitude for others before yourself , the best kind of reward of just simply feeling good. This statement itself says that the best kind of reward is the same exact feeling you get when you help out your mother, or sibling , etc. Knowing you did good for someone and made them happy is the biggest and most special reward of them all. You feel better about yourself, you feel proud and most importantly , a greater will eventually come in the future. The man in the video shows a great example of that.

Born Cassius Clay Jr., Ali changed his name in 1964 after joining the Nation of Islam.

“I trust that my hard work will pay off.”- Tyler Haws

If we put enough effort and work into our dedications and motivations it will be a guarantee that with it, will come many rewards and the hard work will eventually pay itself off. As a wrestler, i know that the extra time and work is always the worst, and it feels like a never ending time of pain and frustration. The time extra that we put in eventually shows out on the floor when you perform. As long as we continue to keep persevering and pushing ourselves to the highest limits in order to succeed. There is a saying that goes “Do today what others won’t and do tomorrow what other can’t.” Tough times never last, only the tough people do and there isn’t anything in the world we aren’t able to accomplish. All we need is a little push and a bit more time than anybody else.

There is without an argument that people believe we are meant to live for a purpose. Our reason of living will eventually be found in the future point in time. Many might say you need to become famous as a point in life, or even  become president. Some might also say that only the talented are the ones that are noticed and published. Sometimes only doing the right thing will be what people will be remembering you for. Leaving behind your knowledge. wisdom, characteristics, energy and most importantly your LEGACY. Examples such as Martin Luther King Jr, is a form of example of how he was doing the right thing. His actions of taking a stand and proving points with his powerful speeches and refusal acts caused him to leave a legacy behind. People will grow memory of you by the way you treat others and project yourself to others. You must always do whats right and always treat others the way you like to be treated. If you do so, rewards will definitely come your way and people will remember.

"We need the courage to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the courage to STOP what we shouldn't do." - Richard L. Evans

Our own morals and pride often get in the way of our actions and sometimes even often take control of our emotions. Unfortunately, our well being were produced to not endure the bad and only the good. Too much of the good stuff can eventually be bad for us in the future. When we do things that seem right and good at the moment we can never know when enough is enough. It's almost like the way Dracula transitions a victim. Dracula has enough courage to start the transition by sucking on the victims blood, although he only must suck the victims blood enough to still be alive to change. Dracula loves the blood so much and only focuses on the up most delicious taste of the warm blood he doesn't have enough courage to stop. All explaining the same way life would work. We must learn and continue educating each other about right from wrong and within each action reveals a reaction to it whether it being a consequence or a reward.
