Charles states and believes that only we can choose what way our lives end up. We make choices and we live by those choices. So if we set good choices for our future we should be expecting a great future ahead of us.

Maybe right now you don't see much importance of anything but you can set goals for yourself right now that you might want to follow later on in life and you'll see how that will benefit you in a great way, you probably weren't expecting. Right now since we're still in the present most people don't see the necessity right now, but later on good outcomes can come out of this, thats why life planning ahead on time is a good thing.

"To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice" - Confucius

This quote has a meaning that if you know or see something being done and is wrong and you stay still and do nothing about it because you're afraid or scared, that's one of the lowest things you could do , it just shows how weak you really are. Even by seeing wrong things being done and staying quiet doesn't mean you're doing right, it shows your weakness. This quote really falls under the category of "choosing the right" .
