Be confident in yourself and never cheat! (Post #4)

Macbeth says, “If good, why do I yield to that suggestion/ Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair/ And make my seated heart knock at my ribs,/ Against the use of nature?” (Macbeth, Act I, Sc.3, 138-141)

Macbeth says that if becoming a king is a good thing, why does he find himself thinking about murdering King Duncan. The thought is so horrifying that it makes his hair stand on end and his heart pound inside his chest.

The quote relates to playing fair to achieve your ambition. Macbeth’s vaulting ambition is making him think of killing King Duncan, which can be related to in our world as cheating to become successful.

To achieve your ambition, cheating is never the solution. You can cheat on tests to get high grades in schools and begin your career; however, cheating always results in consequences and we should all know that by now. Also, you would feel no self-pride because you know that you did not accomplish your goal with your own will. So how can teens achieve their ambition without cheating? The answer is confidence.

If you believe in yourself that you can do it, you will succeed! Just put your mind into it, work hard, and be confident. There is a saying that nothing is impossible. Like I have mentioned in the previous post below, I have an ambition to become a social worker. Sometimes, I get a feeling that I cannot succeed. Silly, I know. And of course, I would never cheat in any shape or form to succeed. When I am down, I would remind myself of this quote by W. Clement Stone, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” This gives me self-esteem.

So here’s the key to success: play fair by being confident and do not cheat like Macbeth.
