Harmful effects and consequences of drug abuse
I think the video was shoking. It is sad how people change after consuming drugs. Drugs affect not oly the one who consume them but also everybody around them. It scared me when the boy got up and walked after his father. People who do drugs dissapoint their families because their behavior change, they become wild and start to steal things with value around their homes. Once you start drugs control you and you no loger control them. Drugs will have power over you if you let them get inside your body. You will stimulate your friends to try drugs and all of you will end up dead. 
Stay away from drugs, live a healthy life, do not let drugs control you.

Have the courage to face the truth.
Do the right thing because it is right."

I think this quote means that if you have the courage to follow what your heart says is the best thing to do you will do the right thing. For example, if someone is asking you to ditch school with her or him, say no because you know it is not right. Have the courage to do what you like to do and not what someone else is expecting you to do because that is not having courage.

The salary is pretty high and they do not have too many responsibilities and that is what makes it better. I think the methods they use are interesting. I would like to try some course just to be sure if it is my type of job.

"I would prefer even to fail with honor 
than win by cheating"
Sophocles

I think this quote means that it is better to fail by choosing the right, than winning without our own merits. For example if you are on a marathon and there is a chance to cut without anyone noticing do not do it because if you do you won't feel like a winner, you will feel ashamed, so do what is right even if you are not getting something material because the best reward is peace. Do what is right without looking at the reward because by choosing the right you will never get something bad out of it.
