There are many things in this world that I believe to be valuable in life but one of the most valuable things that I believe in would be to always do the right thing, even if no one is watching. Many people go through there lives doing stuff to just get noticed or don’t do certain things because they know people are watching.. Very few people actually try to do the right thing when no one is there, and I admit that I do not always follow this but I try my hardest to do the right thing every time. Lets say that while at work I see that someone has left a wallet in their shopping cart. I always will take it to the customer service with out taking anything because I know that I would feel guilty if I did not do the right thing and stole the money …show more content…
I believe that when someone decides to not do the right thing just because they know no one is watching is one of the worst things that a person could do. I believe that a persons morals are measured by what they do when they know that no one is watching. If a person decides to do the right thing then they will not have a guilt but if a person decides to do the wrong thing they might have guilt for what they’ve done, I know that it is definitely a hard decision to make but that is part of the challenge making you a better person. Another part of doing the right thing all the time even when no one is looking is that even if I ever do end up doing the wrong thing then the feeling of guilt is always there and I know that if whatever I did this time was wrong then I will try to correct this wrongdoing because I believe that everyone does the wrong thing sometime but that if they truly do feel remorseful for what they have done then the next time that no one is watching then they will do the right thing. And now I leave you with this. Whenever you feel that you can get away with something just because no one is watching, the guilt is not worth

Essay On Bill Of Rights

bill of rights or not. I firmly believe we do not need a bill of rights. Bill of Rights would only make people think they have no basic human rights as the bill of rights consist of specific individuals rights and freedom of the people. It’s very to say the least useless. The Constitution itself is good the way it is. The reason I state that the adding a bill of rights is absolutely unneeded for is the idea that “Publius, Federalist No 84” has stated in his letter, “For why declare that things shall…

Essay about Management Discussion

perspective, what do you think about this practice? Is it ethical? Why or why not? Is it good business? What is the impact of this practice on the various stakeholders?

Anyone can pretend to be something they aren’t for an interview, but social media and things they post on the internet can bring out the things they hide in front of you. I do not think that…

The Circle Of Life, By Victoria Braithwaite

Even if animals are like us, human rights for them sound a bit too unrealistic. I guess we should just let all animals roam free and make the whole universe go vegan (nothing against vegans though). In 3 articles, either written by Yong, Braithwaite, or Rifkin, there are solid topics that slowly reel their way into the ongoing and serious debate: Should animals have the same rights as humans? Where I stand is a difficult position. Animals should definitely have rights, but only to a certain extent.…

If the life is predestined - There is no such thing as right path or wrong path because you cannot even choose the path.
