“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

Reflection: George Mitchell’s quote, “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.” is phenomenal because it is an inspiration to all people to remember than in a short moment of cheating, using drugs, and doing things you are not supposed to do is not worth the long term pain that is caused by what you did. Also this quote gives a little example about athletes using steroids and how it is wrong to use steroids for a short period of time and then being hurt because you did cheat using steroids. Another example that can be related to this quote is that if you cheat on a test sure you’ll feel good at that moment because you passed it with an A but once you go home you’ll start to regret what you did and that regret will build and build for weeks and weeks causing long term pain that you most likely knew you were going to have if you cheated. “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 that a cheater. Don’t do it.
