"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem."
By: Dr. Laura Schlessinger
What this statement is trying to state is that, if you do good it doesn't mean you'll get money or a new car. Doing the right things gives yourself all the things that are above this. Self-respect and everything is way better than just you wanting something in return. Sometimes people will give you a reward in return but its not always going to be the same. For example, like the guy that found an iPad and $13,000 he could of kept it but he didn't he decided to turn it in. He got a reward back and he didn't even think about himself he thought of other people that needed help and were in need of money. All he knew was that his reward was going to be self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem. That was his big award for him and for other people they saw this guy like that because he didn't think of himself at all. Another example is you standing up for yourself or someone else. What this will give you is respect etc... This is why you always have to choose the right and never think that you'll get money in return.
