"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want the most and see it often." -Peter Vidmar

What this quote is saying is that don't give up on the thing you wanted the most. This quote is most likely referring to those people that gave up on their dream easily. For example, a lot of people gave up on their dream that they really wanted to achieve like a dream job or work at/make a company. But then they do something else they never wanted to do, like a dangerous job or working at a really bad company. What Peter is trying to say is to not give up and try what ever you can to achieve that dream.

"A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life"-Coach K AKA Mike Krzyewski

What this quote is trying to say is being a good person is better than anything you can achieve in this life. Just because you achieve something really hard, will mean you're a good person. For example, a lot of celebrity worked hard to get to where they are now, but a lot of those celebrity are not good people. It's because a lot of them get in trouble with the law or they do something inappropriate. Another example is when a team wins, but they were being unsportsman like the entire time.

"If your so called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right , even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow."-Thomas S. Monson


                       What this quote is saying you don't have to do something even if everyone is pressuring you to do it. For example, a lot of kids will get in trouble because most of the time they are hanging around with the wrong people. Bad friends will pressure the other friend to steal something from a desk or a store with them. Bad friends will pressure the other friend to throw something at the teacher. Bad friends will keep asking you to let them copy your homework when there might be a chance the teacher will notice you let him copy it. Bad friends will pressure you to ditch school with them. Bad friends will also want you sneak out of your house so you can hang out with them. Bad friends will always pressure you to do something that will most likely end up with someone getting hurt, physically or not. What Thomas is saying don't do things you know is bad even if your friends are pressuring you, and even if you stand alone there, have the courage to say no.
