“Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular.”
— Roy T. Bennett
Simplified Meaning:
Choosing to do the right thing often means facing challenges and going against what most people think or do. Imagine you're part of a group at school, and they decide to bully another student. Standing up to your friends and defending the student is hard and might make you less popular, but it's the right thing to do. Simply doing what’s easy could mean staying quiet, and doing what’s popular could mean joining in, but both of these choices hurt someone. This quote reminds us that making the right choice is important, even when it’s difficult or not supported by others. In life, this can mean speaking out against unfair practices at work or helping someone in need even if others don’t join in. By making these tough but right choices, we help create a fairer, kinder world.
