“ I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.” Abraham Lincoln
What this success statement means to me is that in life you will not always win and that is okay. As long as you stay true yourself then at least you win there. This quote by Abraham Lincoln has told me that we must always choose the right because it will never go wrong. To stand by others only if they are right and to learn to let go if they are doing wrong. This can be hard sometimes to do because sometimes we are blinded by what we see because of what we feel. I understand what this quote means and the intention of it is to make people see that they have a choice. Their future is impacted because of the choice they make today. People can choose to stick to it or stay away from it and it all depends on how you see it, your judgement. Choosing the right or doing the right thing is something that we must learn to follow because it’s the key to close most of our problems. An example of this would be The hunger games. Katniss does what she believes is right and she was always on the side that was doing the right until they wanted to do the wrong. She left them to do what was right and to stop it all.

"when i do good, i feel good. when i do bad, i feel bad ." Abraham Lincoln
To me, this quote means that whether you do good or bad determines the way you feel. I think that everybody tries to be good but occasionally there's a time when we decide to be bad. When were bad we have the guilt of being caught and the tormenting thoughts of the problems that may arise.In other words you can't feel good of doing bad because you know the difference between right and wrong. you were raised to know the difference and to try your best in being the best person you can be.I for instance always try my best to be good because i feel good about it and i have less worries. i have less worries because i know that i did good and the only consequence of that turn into a positive outcome. I get what abraham lincoln is trying to say, and it's so simple to understand. so, overall  be good because you will feel good about being good. yes, there may be a time when you are challenged to be bad but as long as you have perseverance , you are bound to overcome it. Do good because it's the right thing to do.
Example: i feel good when i do good.An example of this is i study hard and i get a good grade. a good grade makes me proud and makes me feel good about my hard work.when i do bad i feel bad an example of this would be that one time when i forgot to study and i got a bad grade.i felt terrible because it isn't like me.
