1.  Have the courage to say no.
2.  Have the courage to face the truth.
3.  Do the right thing because it is the right.

These are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity."

-W. Clement Stone

This statement means that in order to be responsible in life, you have to follow these three things. Have the courage to stand up to someone and not let them drag you all over the place. Be brave enough to say no and not let others tell you what you should do. Have the courage to stand up to your own friends when you know they are doing something they shouldn't. Be brave to stand up for yourself and do what you want to do, not what others say. You also need to have the courage to accept the truth, even when it hurts. Sometimes we love someone so much that we don't want to see the bad that they do to others and yourself as well. People try to tell us the truth and even when it hurts and it is just unbelievable, we have to learn to accept it. We have to open our eyes to those around us and see that at times you are better off without a certain someone, no matter the pain. Finally, the third magic key is to do what is right even in the hardest times. At times we want to do what we want, but it isn't the right thing. We need to have the courage to not let our wants be stronger than our needs. We have to always do what is right because that is the best way to live your life. Even if your friends are doing a certain thing you have to be strong enough to not do what they are doing if it isn't the right thing.
