Learn to Resist Temptation

   The world is full of temptations. Some people are tempted to make money in an illegal way. Bombarded by clever advertisements, a consumer tends to buy what he or she does not actually need. Students are tempted to indulge themselves in computer games so much that they give up their studies. To pass the exams, they turn to cheating tricks on tests. It seems that all men are tempted and many of the temptations are hard to resist because many people are not trying to discourage the temptation; instead, they yield to it.
   Yielding to temptation leads to corruption. In many cases greed for money is the root of evil. We have read many tragic stories about how people become the slaves to temptation. A good citizen turned into a robber because he could not resist gambling. A promising government official ended up in jail because he took bribes from profit-hungry business people at the cost of their bright career. Temptation may ruin a person, a family, or even ruin a company or a government. It's something that we must be always on our guard. If we are determined to stay away from the temptations, we will surely be winners in fighting against them by discouraging the temptations completely.
