" Dare to stand alone." By Thomas S. Monson

What this statement means to me is that if you are trying to do what you know is the right thing to do then stand up for it even though you are standing alone. An example of this may be, when you are at a party and every one is smoking and you don't want to but everyone else is doing it. it is better for you to stand alone because if you try to smoke then that can lead you to a road that is not so successful compared to the road that you decide not to smoke at the party. Even though it can be very difficult to stand alone, know that you will most likely will not stand alone in some cases because their are people in your life that will always support you no matter what side you stand against and what side you stand for. It is up to you to make your own decisions than letting others  decide for you . You have the right or privilege to do so. some people don't have that privilege because if they do so then they would die or be killed. So with the privilege that you have, use it to help those that don't have the same privilege.
