"When i do good, i feel good. 
When i do bad, i feel bad."
Abraham Lincoln

I think this quote means that your conscience is always there, you know what's right and what is wrong. 
If you choose the wrong you are going to feel bad maybe no one cares about what you do but you know you do care about yourself and if you don't, then that's sad because it is your life and you only have one, don't waste it. And if you want to have a clear conscience you have to do what you think is right. Your inner peace is the best feeling ever.

My favorite singer

Miley Ray Cyrus is an American actress and recording artist. She was born in November 23, 1992 in Tennessee. She is a role model to many people, because she follow her dream and now she's successful and really famous. 

What i love about her is that she doesn't care about people's comments because her videos and music are about her life and every time she record a new one people start hating on her but she doesn't really care about them because is something miley does for her fans not for haters.

Miley won 57 awards out of 122 nominations. She was report by "Parade" magazine as the richest teeneger.

I think the first quote persuade people to follow their dreams and the author is a role model to all people who has dreams. I like this quote because it happens in real life when someone feels like they can't do something and they give up without trying. The second quote talks about old people because no matter how old are you, you can always follow your dreams. I think the third quote means that it's a whole team event when just one person is training.
