Comedian Groucho Mark said, “Those are my principles. If you don’t like them, I have others.”

         You and I have principles and we also have  31  . I have opinions about what I think is right or wrong or good or bad. But they’re only opinions — I could be  32  ! I won’t try to build my life  around my opinions,  33   I’ll try to keep to my principles.

         A 15-year-old boy learned a valuable  34  about life principles. One day, he found a wallet that  35  $127 as well as a woman’s  36  . He jumped onto his  37  and went to her house. He told her he found her wallet and she gave him a big  38  . She also gave him twenty dollars.

         That evening the boy told his parents about the  39  and his father said, “I don’t think you should have  40  $20 for doing what you should have done. A person shouldn’t be rewarded for being  41  .”

         He considered his father’s statement and  42  that he would return the money. He  43  biked to the lady’s home and gave her back the money. She didn’t want to  44  it, but he told her she had to — that his father  45  something to him that he had  46  realized before.

         When ideals such as honesty and a personal standard of always doing the right thing guide our every action and decision, we  47  develop a good character. These great principles  48  our lives and make us into a person of  49  . They teach confidence. That boy is  50  to be raised by a wise father who had the wisdom to say, “Those are my principles.”
