As has been pointed out you need to use a boolean expression 
(a combination of tsts using and / or ) to get the result you need.
In fact if you describe what you really want in English you will find 
it forms a boolean expression.

You want it to print one message if the user types Good or Well or Fine
else print another message. Now translate that directly to code...

Python cares abourt indentation level.
align the else with the if that it matches.
