"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do."-Alex Linares

 Alex is saying that choosing the right is always the right thing to do. It is what everyone needs to do all the time. For example, if you are not popular and they tell you if you smoke a cigarette you will be popular you have to say no because that is still the right thing to do.

I would not like to be an electroneurodiagnostic technologist because they have to deal with instruments that sound complicated. It does not go into the type of medical field I would like to be.

"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company."-Anon

 This quote is saying that it is better to be alone than to be surrounded by people that are bad examples. People that are bad influence are not good to be around so if you do happen to have bad friends that say inappropriate jokes, do drugs, or are in gangs you should stay away from them. For example, if you have a friend that is telling you to try drugs you should say no and walk away from them because they are no longer your friend.

"You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."-Ezra T. Benson

Ezra is saying that when you do wrong it is absolutely not possible to feel good. Every time you do something wrong there will be a negative feeling behind it that will not let you feel happy. whether it is guilt or sadness it will be there if you do wrong. For example, when a girl stole some candy from a store and left she did not get caught, but she didn't enjoy that candy either because of the guilt she felt and she was also afraid she might get caught. Doing wrong will always make you feel bad.

"I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences."-Robert E. Lee

I think this quote is saying that even if it takes a little suffering it is better to what is right than to do what is wrong and have to live with a dirty conscience. For example when you don't study for a test it is better to take a FAIL then to cheat because that causes guilt and you feel bad.
