What this quote means is that you have to keep your word and never break a promise. A promise something that you must stay committed to and not break. If you break a promise then that’ll mean to the person that you will probably not have your trust anymore. Keeping a promise means that you are choosing the right. Having promises keeping it to you and that person means that you’ll gain their trust. A promise can mean anything to that person and if you break it then it’ll be hard for them to keep promises for you and them. A promise must never be broken because it means something to you and that person. People need to live by trust and kindness not by breaking promises. The promises that I make mean something to me it’ll be a shame if someone broke them. A promise has to never be broken,it must be kept.

"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it."- George Mitchell

Cheating is not a good thing to do. If you cheat then the guilt will lie deep inside of you. Using something for an advantage is considered cheating. Anything that will help you do better than you usually do is considered cheating. A cheater just ruins the sport and makes it hard for other teams to do good because there is a cheater. For example, If you cheat on a test then it'll be like lying to yourself. Cheaters are people who ruin the game and reputation. The guilt is something they'll have until they can come clean and say what they did. It's true when there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. It matters in best to not cheat.
