Moral of the Story

 


MORAL OF THE STORY

Moral: a lesson, especially one concerning what is right or prudent, that can be derived from a story, a piece of information, or an experience.


Opening Exercise - Pick a “Moral of the story” from the list provided. Try to tell a story that supports the message you chose.

  • If possible, use a true story from your own life or from someone you know well
  • If you cannot think of a true story, then make one up or else use a story that you got from TV, a movie, a book or from somewhere else

 

LIST – “Morals of the Story” to choose from

Honesty is the best policy

Don’t judge others

Quitters never win

Keep your word

Treat others the way you want to be treated

You reap what you sow

To forgive is divine

The price of success is responsibility

Think before you act

When in doubt, leave it out

Patience is a virtue

You’ve got to give respect to get respect

Don’t judge a book by its cover

A friend in need is a friend indeed

Don’t make promises you cannot keep

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive

Pride comes before a fall

Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up

Common sense is not all that common

The best things in life are free

Lost time is never found again

Fall seven times, get up eight

Stupid is as stupid does

Your past does not equal your future

You make mistakes; mistakes don’t make you

Happiness is wanting what you have not having what you want

If you keep on lying long enough eventually, you’ll start believing your own lies

Often when you think you have everyone fooled you are only fooling yourself

Slow and steady wins the race

Brains over brawn

Look before you leap

One good turn deserves another

You become who you spend your time with

A fool and his money are soon parted

Lead by example

To thine own self be true

Nothing worth having comes easy

Its hard to fail but its worse to never have tried

Do what you always did, get what you always got
