''we learn to do by doing''
i think this means that when someone learns it is when they keep doing it or trying it all the time. people make mistakes all the time so they have to learn from the mistakes they make. a person has to learn from their mistakes so that they won't do the wrong thing anymore. they have to keep trying in order for them to not do the wrong thing and do it right.

i believe this quote means that if you stay being obedient then you will stay happy all the time. i also think that not all the time that you are following directions and doing what you are told that you will stay happy. i think that also by being being obedient you can feel sad or disappointed.

choosing the right thing is always the right thing to do 
making the right decisions is the right thing to do.  you choose the right because you have chosen the right. i believe this quote means that you have to do a good thing so that i can be right. you have to help others because that is the right thing to do. you have to help out when they dont get something or they need something. once i gave my money to my brother because he needed it more than i did so i knew i did the right thing that day.

what you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player''
the way that you act as a person is more important than the way you play as a basketball player. people act more different as a person than when they are playing basketball. it's more important to not do bad things as a person so that it won't affect your basketball career. sometimes what a person does when they are not playing they go out and drink or they also do drugs. if they they do things like that then they can cause damage to their health and wont be able to play anymore or not play good at all.
