Life doesn't sit around and wait on you. Many times it's best to throw caution to the wind and just go. Sometimes, things in life come too quickly to be thought about before acting upon. If you have a feeling it's right, then go for it. If it's not right, then you'll find out. If it is...well, all the better for you.

I agree with Denise ,next time someone offers for you to go out for a social event, a job offer, stop and think. This time, go forth with the intention to learn, and to experience .

In life you aren't always going to get a reward or consequence for your actions. Your actions sometimes go unnoticed. You have to do right because its the right thing to do and to have integrity not for a reward. Life gives you many opportunities and if you cant do whats right you're wasting your time and others. Doing the right thing can take you very far in life.

JeDarion Lyons 4th Period

I agree with Rodney's response because in life some people choose to do what they feel is right at the time.Not everybody that does right get rewarded because that's really what you suppose to do and if you are doing wrong you don't necessarily always have consequences.But no matter what you do you always have to answer to God at the end of the day.

Déyzya Hardeman P.4.

9/10/2015 07:47:01 am

Having that thought in the back of your head, "I will probably get some thing good from this!" is usually the main reason people feel exhilarated when they think about a generous task they'd done. When you're instinctively generous and positive all "nice" acts come naturally, you won't expect anything in return from anyone or anything. Going on with being positive, sometimes you get these "gut feelings" telling you should do something, never hesitate to do it. All it's doing is leading you in the right direction. For every positive there is a negative, therefore being "too nice" or generous can be taken advantage of. You just have to know when to put a halt to your actions toward certain individuals.

Mihagony Gill 1st period

Tyrell Alexander 3rd.

9/12/2015 12:12:05 am

In life you will accomplish both good and bad things. When doing the wrong thing you should suffer the consequences. I feel that rewards are irrelevant when a person does right because you are suppose to do right. When you complete a long term goal or accomplish something that hasn't been done before, an award should be giving. People in our world worry about bragging rights and get the wrong message to stuff.

Cuarderes Mitchell 1st

Jessica Reaux

9/12/2015 10:07:18 am

I believe that Tyrell spoke the words right out of my mouth; rewards are irrelevant when a person does right and the wrong renders a consequence. Sometimes people neglect to forget that everyone's a person, and not another obstacle for appraisal. For instance, famous celebrities donating to charities in hopes of emotional appeal to fans, not to help out- that's just a plus on their sides. Not saying that all celebrities are seeking awards from everything they do, just that they know their life is constantly recorded and a ride on the bandwagon.

Erika Boyd 1st period

9/10/2015 09:35:02 am

Sometimes making choices is a challenge. You have to weigh your options by consequences and rewards. The time to act instead of calculating what is right is easier to do when someone is in danger. If your friend is texting and driving, the best thing to do is tell them to stop. When you text and drive, it becomes a danger to you as well as your friend. This can be applied to other things like drinking, drugs and other unhealthy behaviors that can be a problem for you and to your peers as well.

Jacolby Pemberton 4th period

9/11/2015 10:15:18 am

I agree with Erika because this world we live in today offers a lot of opportunities . Sometimes we tend to sit back and relax when we could be doing something progressive for our life or maybe in the future . As you live life , you tend to experience different situations that may cause you to think a different way . When you been through a obstacle or trial in your life , and you run into another sometimes you may over think about what you should do . Also though you get that instinct where your mind is telling you what you should do and you know its the right thing to do , so just do it if you know for a fact it's right .

Paige Holland 4th period

9/11/2015 11:28:43 am

Giving without any anticipation of recieving is when you'll know you have gave for someone else's better good . No one wants to look back on life to realize everytime they did something for somebody, they were in on something for themselves . In which it would have been a failure by default because there was no intention to only satisfy the other but oneself too. Being selfless will make you more prone to being an recipient of more good-deeds , it's all a cycle of playing it forward .

Keylon

9/11/2015 09:00:18 am

I agree with Terryon . People make mistakes but they should know when to do things right . For example if you see someone getting bullied the right thing to do is tell someone . Sometimes people don't want to take that risk of being a snitch . The right thing could help that person because you don't know what going on in that person life . It's easy to get in trouble but hard to get out of . Best thing to do is to do right . Get you far in life

Things you do in life should not be for an reward. I learned that early in life. If u do something with the intention "oh I'll be rewarded if I do this." You won't be applaud ed for the action you made.You should be a good individual just because it's the right thing & you will be rewarded even greater.

People care about risks and rewards because their raised to believe rewards are given when you do something good, you might risk something and get no return when you've actually done a good deed. Being raised on stereotypes many things can go wrong it's time to just do the right thing whether you get a reward or not. Rewards are a mind thing you can reward yourself by just being happy with yourself instead of letting someone else bring you happiness by "rewarding you". Separate yourself from stereotypes, the "if I do this or that maybe I'll be rewarded" stuff because you don't nor won't always get things for being a good individual. The more you expect things to happen the less it happens and also do things out the kindness of your heart not just because your expecting something good.

I agree with mihagony 100% . Today generation does live life off of stereotypes and misconceptions . We are too worried about what the next person will think and not worried about if the decisions we make is right or wrong . Being rewarded isn't going to always come in the form you want either . It's really more of the thought and effort that counts , and that's taking a risk

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Taking opportunities can be scary, some of them definitely are. To achieve anything in life, we need to take a chance. The beauty of taking chances, is that anything can happen. You might fall, get hurt, or be embarrassed, but what if you could experience something that is completely mind-blowing and changes your life forever.

Jaquan Adams Period 2

9/11/2015 11:50:10 am

Everyone has made a huge mistake in life but you have to get pass that and never make that mistake again. Most people love rewards but life isn't always about that. You have to make life fun, there's a time that you will not be rewarded, you have to accept that and go on with life. Being a positive person can bring you greater opportunities and the reward will be bigger than you imagined. When you do the right thing other people monitor you and they get influenced to do the right thing too. It can get tough down the road but you have to fight through it and keep your head up.

William Lacy 2nd

People should stop worrying about what others might think about them and do what the heart tells you to do. Don't focus on the glorified praise or the humiliating shame it may bring you. If it's really what you think is best all the extra wouldn't even effect the least. You will do it because its what you choose to do. Your the leader of your life. Your life would be a happier experience achieving your goals your way.

A famous quote says that time waits for no man, if you sit around calculating "what's it gonna cost me, or what's in it for me" then many opportunities in life will pass you by. Many times in life it's best to just look at situations and say why not, and just do what is, or feels right. In some situations it is best to buck the system, or what everyone else is doing, just because they are doing it doesn't make it right. Another famous quote "Carpe Diem" Latin for "Seize the Day",words of wisdom from the past telling us again not to stand by idly. Sometimes it is best to do something, anything, because doing something even if it is wrong is better than doing nothing at all.

Librado Rodriguez

9/12/2015 05:15:19 am

I believe that is a good way to look at it, but I think that would be in a way reckless. If you don't take the time to consider your options, then you could be more likely to make a mistake, or regret something in your future. We're still young, and shouldn't rush into things, we should live life good, no regrets, just rewards.

Librado Rodriguez

9/12/2015 05:07:04 am

One should always take the risk and reward of a situation into consideration. If someone just made decions without thinking about it, it could cause a huge problem they didn't want to begin with. Everyone should see through the choices they have and the results that can come from each one. For example, if a person has to do many things in a certain amount of time and has to choose when to do what, not considering the risks and rewards could cause that person to not finish what they had to in time.

Breanna Perry 2nd

9/12/2015 05:15:10 am

There is never a time or place when people will stop thinking about the goodness and risk of doing something that benefits them or not.The only thing is when that time comes around it pours pressure on to that person which makes them ask should I do it or not?People should just go along with the flow because you a rr going to do OT anyways.Steadily asking your self weather this will benefit or not seems a little doubtful.Everyone should just do something even if for better or worse because you never know how that can affect you later on in life.

Making your own decisions shouldn't be based on if your going to get rewarded or not. Sometimes your decisions might go against someone else's and you could be right. Just because you did something good doesn't mean your going to get rewarded. When thinking for yourself and not waiting for someone to always tell you what to do could put in at a risk of consequences. A reward in life should be knowing you did something because you felt it was right, not because someone told you to.

Don't do something if everyone else doing it and you know it's wrong because at the end of the day you won't be happy with yourself. Do what you know is right cause at the end of the day you got to live with the decision you make and you don't want to reget them.

Try your hardest, don't you ever give up.Even thought the small thing may seem easier take the big challenge. If you think small you'll be small, think big nothing will be small. Go out and try what seems difficult and hard. Don't try and easy task go risk it.

Now and days helpless people of harmed and starving . Because of so many people needing a helping hand ,the time of the fortunate to stop calculating the risk and rewards had arrived. Sometimes doing the right thing may only benifit the person in need and not the benefiter. For example a no body is getting mistreated ,but because a more popular person stepped up for him , the nobody was relieved. The more more popular kid did the right thing ,but his consequence was losing a couple of friends. In all actually they really wasn't his friend so the consequence wasn't that bad. It all depends on a persons moral and what they truly believe is the right thing to do.

Andreina Garcia period 1

9/12/2015 09:24:52 am

There is no such thing as a no body. Everyone has a soul, a way of being, different thoughts, options, beliefs. Just because a person doesn't fit in a certain spot doesn't mean he/she is a no body. If that guy lost friends because he stepped up and defended another person he should look for actual friends. Friends that will defend people and not make them feel worthless or bad. After all doing the right thing is not about being rewarded, is about doing the right thing just because and not looking for a reward.

I believe that you should stop calculating risk and thinking about what could have happend at a very young age. Time waits on no one so while you saying maybe, and I could have, or next time , time is passing you by. If you are told to saw someone else doing something a type of way you should copy knowing that its wrong. You should walk on faith and take a risk of your own. Depending on what another person is doing what you know you can do but decide not to cause its not what you we're told is Impecable.

Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you can get. Taking risks can either have a positive outcome or a negative outcome. But I believe that in certain situations you should be able to listen to your gut and do the right thing. Taking one bad risk can affect the whole structure of your life. In my life I want to be able to have no regrets so in certain scenarios I avoid Making a decision based off my impulses. But I also believe that you should be able to take risks in certain circumstances life is too short to not live to the fullest extent.

Most of us are stuck on the if i would of, I could of, or I should of. But they do not exist, they are scenes of the past that never happened and will not come back around. Is time to live in the now and do it the right way. So later you won't regreat anything and just be proud of your results. Yeah there are things we have to put at risk but sooner or later it will pay off. Yeah friends, family, and others will try to make you do what they want, but its your option. You decide either to follow what they say of you do what you think is the right thing just remember that you don't get second chances.

Jessica Reaux 3rd

Risks and rewards should not be calculated when situations are pertaining to people. It is a given that when you're helping a person in kind of your heart- it's not thinking, it's an instinct. For example, imagine having to walk pass a homeless person everyday, then for once you help him without any repercussions. No rewards are entailed and no congratulations emerge but you get the immense feelings that you made his/her day. It's time to stop expecting gifts when you know it's something you do.

Zamyria Hambric

9/12/2015 09:57:51 am

In today's society majority of the people believe that once they give they shall receive. Doing what you know is right doesn't always result in a positive outcome . Its more so of just knowing what you did not only helped you but helped someone else . Life is a challenge , and making the right choice is the biggest one. Being rewarded should not be your only motive to doing something good .

I Believe that's it's ok for you to take risks.Everyone is not perfect so when you make make mistakes you learn from it. I also think that taking changes is a good thing because it can get you in a better situation.

I don't really think that there's ever a time that a person stops thinking about the risks and rewards of the choices that are made in life. Although, not everyone is given free will to make choices majority of people are. Life is short. Whether it's known or not every decision made revolves around the Positive effects A repercussions. Overall,I think that you should do it makes you happy at the end of the day because you're the one who has to live with the choices you choose to make.

It is time to stop calculating risk and rewards and do what you know is right when you realize that you don't get rewarded every time for doing the right things . If you have that mindset , then everything you do would be for show . Your life would be a movie. You would expect people to applaud you every time you do good verses you doing the right things just because its morally right . Oprah Winfrey said " Real integrity is doing the right thing , knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not . " Doing the right thing doesn't always mean your going to like the aftermath that happens but your conscience should be uplifted knowing that you did do the right thing . You might do the right thing and lose a couple friends ,family members , money , etc , but may the good outweigh the bad because at the end of the day you did a good deed .

I believe that you don't always need a reward for everything. A lot of great things go unnoticed because a person doesn't need a pat on the back. If a person knows what right then they should automatically do it. Just doing the right thing will make you feel better in the inside. No one is going to right there when you something wrong or right. Follow the rules will be the best thing that you could in a situation.

It is time to stop calculating risk and rewards and start start doing what's right is when you every time you does something right, you don't have to be rewarded. Its good to get noticed for doing the right thing but you shouldn't expect to get rewarded all the time. You don't need a pat on the back to know that you are doing something right like having good grades. People are not going to agree with every choice you make as long as you know that's the right thing to do.

You should never look at the risks or reward. If it's right go ahead and do it. You'll dwell over it and miss the opportunity to change your life or someone's just by not looking to see if you get something for helping someone. Capture it the moment even if the risk could mean the worst. Stop counting the things you get and just give for the change.

A huge problem that we have in our society is that most people are very selfish and care about himself more than others. In their surroundings such as when someone throws a bottle on the floor not caring that's they are slower destroying our planet, On the other hand another person may pick that bottle up knowing they won't get a reward, but pick it up because they know that's the right thing to do. I also agree with Erika because every choice you make could change your future, I also like when who brought up texting and driving comment because everyone knows that's not right but others still do it.
