"Righteous community starts with ONE upright soul, whether it is a community of family members, students, neighbors, teammates, or business associates. Unity conquers worthy pursuits more quickly and with less effort than individual effort alone."

Mr. Haymore

This means that it takes one person to make a difference and one person to lead others to do the right thing. In other words, one person has the capability to make an impact on a large amount of people. What this is trying to say is that it is easier to things together than alone. That one person can influence others to do the right thing. Unity cause an even bigger impact. For example, in the video that was shown, it took one man to start a trend.

For example if you have knowledge about what drugs do to you and still do it, you have no character but full knowledge about the consequences.
