"If it's not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it"
Marcus Aurelius

What this statement means to me is that you shouldn't do or say things that are not right. Lying is one example, because you can get caught and the consequences are not going to be positive. You should do good things like always be honest, because good things will come out of it

I have three messages:

1) We should never, ever give up.

2) You are never too old to chase your dreams

3) It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team.

Diana Nyad, American Swimmer

If there were people who gave up easily they wouldn't be able to meet their goals and they will have some kind of guilt of not finishing what they started. I think Diana worked really hard to accomplish her goal and what people should learn about her is that you shouldn't give up because really good things will come out of not giving up, so always do the right thing.
