“ 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

This statement by George Mitchell is extremely useful for  us in sports or anywhere we go. Short term gain is what you get in that small moment. It could be a bad thing like cheating. If you cheat on a test and get a good grade, then that will be a short term gain. However, a long term pain is the bad feeling of pain after what you gained. George states that several people think the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it doesn’t. Furthermore, George explains the usage of steroids is cheating and he states that nothing in sports ( or anything) is worse than cheating. For example, if you are in a sport such as baseball, and to get more strength, you use steroid. That is cheating. With the use of steroids, you might be really good in that sport. However, that is the “short term gain”. It won’t last long until the long term pain will come to you. You will be filling bad and regretful of what you’ve done. And George is right. There is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. You are doing the wrong thing. Dale Murphy once said that if you make a promise of not cheating, you will be grateful that you made that promise. And that promise will help you throughout eternity.
