These are the 3 magic keys that Stone has spoken to us about. By following these 3 special advices, we are establishing ourselves to have integrity. What is integrity, integrity is when you live your life choosing to do the right. The first key is telling us to have the courage to say no. This key is very important as by saying no we can limit ourselves to doing bad things. If someone offers us something that we know is wrong, we can use our words and power to express that we are saying no. The second key is to have the courage to face the truth. This key has to do with honesty and how we show it. We should always be honest, even if it may affect us in a negative way. By being honest we are always choosing to do the right, as honesty is the best policy. Lastly the last quote is telling us to always choose the right. This quote is, for the most part, self explanatory. It is telling us to do the right thing simply because it right, you may not like the outcomes of your decision but never the less you should still do it as it is the right thing to do. The last key is the most important as having integrity means doing the right thing, so in order to have integrity, well you have to do the right thing.

The first quote can be used as an example. If you are offered drugs or other illegal substances, you have the power to say no. By choosing to say no you are breaking away from the negative outcome and thus you are showing integrity as you are choosing to do the right thing.

“The best recreation is to do good” William Penn William Penn is right about the words he stated. Recreation is something you do to relax yourself and make you feel better. Examples of recreation could be things such as swimming or playing sports. Well what better way to make yourself feel better than by choosing to do good. There is no negative outcomes when you choose to do the right thing. So by choosing to do good as your recreational activity, you will feel better than ever before. If your recreational activity is something bad such as smoking or drugs or something to that effect, than you will feel bad. This all traces back to choosing to do the right and always opting out for the good instead of evil. Penn was a Quaker, an early religion in America, and his religion often stressed the importance of good such as banning slavery and equality for women, so it makes sense that someone like William Penn would come up with this quote. I do agree with what William Penn is sayi
