“True independence and freedom can only exist in what’s doing right”

This quote represents the right thing to do. If you do what’s right you will be “free” and “independent” and that is the only way it can happen by doing what is right. The only way to do what right is to know what the right thing is. If you don’t know what the right thing is then you will not do it. You must realize when you’re doing right and when you are doing wrong. You must know when the right thing to do is needed and when the wrong thing to do is needed. The right thing will always be needed and the wrong thing never will. True independence and freedom can only come from choosing right. If you choose the right you will be free to do as you please if you do not then you will be imprisoned. It does not matter if you gain your freedom by doing wrong things, then it would not be true freedom. If you escape from prison then you are not truly free, you will have to be taken back because you chose the wrong thing to do. If you do the right thing then you would not be in prison in the first place because you will have chosen the right things to do.

“They’re only truly great who are truly good.”

This quote tells you who the real greats are in life. In life you could be good at many things, great even but you must only strive to be good at one thing. You must strive to be a good person, this is because those who are truly good are the only ones that are truly great. If you are the best basketball player in your team and you always make your team win the you are great. You are a really good player but that doesn’t mean you're a good person. If you are a really good player in the court but outside of the court you take steroids then you are not truly good because you are cheating and choosing the wrong. If you want to truly be good you need to always choose the right thing and never cheat or commit crimes. This is the only way you can. There are no shortcuts and no cheating you cannot use steroids to become a good person. The only way you can truly be great is through hard work and dedication on being truly good. You cannot do wrong and expect to be good it doesn' work like that.

“Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn’t . In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don’t do it.”

This quote is telling straight up, do not cheat. Cheating is wrong and should never be done under any circumstances. Even if it is the championship game and your teammates offer you some, you can not take them. It is not okay to cheat, in sports or in anything else. There is nothing worse than a cheater. In life you must always do what you know to be the right thing. If you work hard and do your best then you do not need steroids to win. All you need is your own will, strength, and righteousness to win. What Mr. George Mitchell is telling everyone is that many people believe it is better to go the easy route and to take a short cut. But in the long run it will not be worth the trouble. If you truly want to be a winner and accomplish your dreams then you must do it the right way.

“I won't cheat”

This simple three word statement by Dale Murphy is telling straight forward do not cheat. You should not cheat no matter the circumstances. You must always choose the right or else you will always be looking over your shoulder. No matter what even if you don’t get caught right away you will eventually. Even if you think you got away with it you didn’t the pain and guilt will rot inside you and turn you into a bad person. There is no situation where it is okay to cheat or that cheating is the right thing to do. Doesn’t matter if it makes you better, stronger or faster it is not okay. If you are offered steroids by your teammates because they're scared they can't win without them because you are facing a strong opponent. You must tell them “No, I don’t need any drugs to win. I only need my own strength”. It is because you can never truly win if you doing it by cheating. You must work hard and practice or study or do whatever you need to do to win by yourself.

"character matters most" Character matter the most because you need to be good when it comes down to business. This quote means that you need to be a good person or you wont truly be a man. Whatever you do you must choose the right. You need to stand up and be better than the others. You don't need to get drunk to have fun at all. You don't have to do anything that will endanger your life. When you are choosing the right you automatically become a good person with good character. You don't need tattoos to look good that's what Dale Murphy said. You can be a good person no matter what. If you do wrong you will never be a real man. You must do good in order to be a good person and have character.
