right

"If your so-called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong,you be the one to make a stand for right,have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow."
Image resultThis quote was said by Thomas S. Monson. What he means by the first part of his quote is that if you know that something is not right and you know that they are doing wrong you should be the one to do right. You should not let others bad acts influence what it is that you do. Like people say."If your friend jumps off a bridge are you going to do the same?" Dont be a follower. Be a leader and you will succeed. Those who are doing bad are not going to succeed. What the second part of this quote means is that you have to lead the way. Also it means to not be afraid to stand out even if others think its weird. You know what is good for you and therefore you should do whats going to keep you on the right path.

"Obedience is the great test of life" pt.2

 After watching the video of Thomas S. Monson i learned that by disobeying to the smallest of rules you can en up in a really bad situation. for Monson when he was a kid he disobeyed his parents when they said "don't play with fire" and he lit up one match...just one match and that disobedient act could have caused lives and homes . if it wasn't for the other people in his household he and his friend could have caused a lot of trouble and all due to a small act of disobedience. this tough me that even the smallest things can affect your life drastically.

"OBEDIENCE"

                                                "Obedience is the great test of life"- Thomas S. Monson
In my opinion to be obedient means to follow the rules. What i think this quote means is that in life we are put in many tests and basically everyday we have a new test. This test is to follow the rules. There will be consequences for those who fail to follow these rules and can lead to major problems . But by "obeying" you will never fail.when you follow the rules you will feel good course you know you are going to do good. Unlike when you fail to obey. For example our school has a strict rule of wearing uniform when not obeyed one person who chose to disobey will have detention during lunch or after school. But if they were to  obey this rule they would not have to worry about being called out or getting detention.
