Student Success Statement

“Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy.”

David A. Bednar

Reflection:

In this class I learned that you won’t be happy if you have a bad conscious. So yeah you won’t be a happy person if you know you’re doing things you don’t have to. Some people have all the money in the world and they think that having money is everything when things aren’t like that, why is it that billionaires end up killing themselves even though they have all the money in the world? Same thing it’s because they don’t have a clean conscious! Nothing will make you feel good than just doing the right thing because you can’t buy what you have to do!! The right.

“When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irrational; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block.”

James E. Faust

Reflection:

Well this statement is really true because obedience is a goal you have to put in your mind in order for you to live a good life.  

Student success statement

“Obedience is the great test of life.”

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection:

  I think this quote is really true because to be obedient takes lots of courage and responsibilities. Why? Because not anyone is obedient and yeah maybe you won’t be as popular but it’s worth it for an example if they are telling you to do something bad in school they might pick on you for not doing it but you are doing the right thing so it shouldn’t matter.   

Student Success Statement

“Obedience… Is the primary object of all sound education.”

Elizabeth Missing Sewell

Reflection:

 I think this is true because if you want a good education you need to follow all rules and be obedient. You can’t be successful in life if you don’t listen to others comments and opinions. Some people think it’s better to be on their own but they don’t know is that all the people that have been successful in life listen to others and help each other.

Student Success Statement

“The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have.”

Reflection:

  I don’t agree with this statement because the government doesn’t care if you do right or wrong they just want money. They aren’t really on your side because they really don’t care what you think. Most people in this country are loyal and do the best they can. They pay their taxes they aren’t criminals, but yet they get treated unfairly. Not only the US citizens but people that come to this country for a better life they get treated really badly. They don’t have to get deported because they haven’t done anything wrong.

Student Success Statement

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

Benjamin Franklin  

Reflection:

I think this statement is true because the harder you work the harder you will succeed in life. My teacher always told me that if you get well sleep the more you will think because you mind has rested already.

Student Success Statement

“A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.”

Hippocrates

Reflection:

  I think you need to be mentally healthy and physically healthy. It is the most important thing because it will determine how healthy you are and for how long you will live because if you don’t eat healthy you will get sick more often and if you are a healthy you will live a longer life. 

Student Success Statement

“Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do right thing because it is right.”

W. Clement Stone

Reflection:

 It is important to say the truth because you get to ovoid lots of problems. You don’t have to lie if you choose the wrong. You should be different than others and not do the things that they do. 

Student Success Statement

“Courage is being scared to death and doing the right thing anyway.”

Chae Richardson

Reflection:

 Well it takes lots of courage to do the right thing because most people will judge you for being different than others. Most people now a days expect you to be like them or than they will judge you. It’s better to be yourself no matter what they say or do because you want to be different and prove them wrong. Lead yourself and don’t let other people lead you.

                              Student success statement

                   

Reflection:

This statement is very true and it has a strong meaning to it because it can paint any color of the situation. I think that your attitude describes what you really are because that you can’t fake it from no one. Some people might pretend they are someone else by their attitude but at the end of the day you will find out.

Student Success Statement

“He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

A Proverb

Reflection:

Most people believe this and I agree with it because most likely if you have a bad influence you will end up doing what they do. In my opinion I think it’s up to each one of us to choose their path and choose whether they want to be winners of failures. People will always tell you to hang out with the best people and not to get involved with the not so great ones, I think it shouldn't really matter and that it will be best if you don’t hang around with the wrong crowd but it’s also not bad hanging out with the bad one because at the end of the day they won’t force you to do the things they do but you will choose what you will do because you might look really good but when your alone you make your own choices.

Student Success Statement

“You can’t hire someone else to do your push-ups for you.”

Jim Rohn

Reflection:

 This statement is very true because the success you want can only succeed if you accomplish it, you can’t tell someone else to it for you or else it won’t be you success no more. People always told me the harder you work the more result you will see. They also told me that the lazy person always works double so might as well do things right the first time. For an example if you want to be a doctor might as well take all the years you need and don’t go to those programs that offer you a career in just 8 months.You also cant make other people study for you if you ant to become a doctor. Work hard for what you really like and there will be a good payback.    

                                                     

Student Success Statement

                             “Kindness is the essence of greatness.”

                                                   Joseph B. Wirthlin

Reflection:

 

This quote states that kindness is the essence of greatness, this means that if you do good things, good things will happen to you. It is important to do good things to others because you don’t want to be known as a bad person, you want to be known as the good person. Whatever you do comes back to you. Sometimes it’s not all about trying to receive something in return but to know what is right and doing it. Some people have all the money in the world and pretend they are happy when they aren’t. Life isn’t just about having and having it’s about giving to other that most needed. If you have money that’s great but you will feel even better if you give to others and that I will guarantee you will feel great.     

Student Success Statement

“Action is the foundational key to all success.”

ANON

Reflection:

  If you act on it you will achieve it. With no action you won’t know how things turn out. For an example Cesar Chavez had a dream and that dream was that everyone including farm workers should be treated equal and he took action on it. He started on his own and a couple of people and ended up with the president of the United States. If you put your hard work into it and all dedication you will achieve it.

                   Student Success Statement

“Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and       wrong, even if everyone is for it.”

William Penn

Reflection:

 

This statement is trying to say that most of the people will choose what’s wrong but our job is not to do what others think it’s good but to think for ourselves on what is really right. Some people think that by doing the wrong thing they will be like others, that’s just trying to be someone you’re not. It’s very hard to be different than others because there is a chance they might treat you different. Do what you think is right not what others tell you to do. 

                  Student Success Statement

Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’

Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politic?’

Vanity asks the question ’Is it popular?’

 But, Conscience asks the question, ‘Is it RIGHT?’  and there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor population, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that is right.

Reflection:

 This quote has so many things I can talk about. Cowardice will always ask if it’s safe. Most of the time we don’t really care if it’s safe or not and we just do it. Expediency, will always ask if it’s political or not. Most people don’t even care if it’s political. Now a day people do what they believe is right and they don’t sit down and think if it’s the best thing to do. Vanity is one of the big ones because at this time it’s all about looking right for others and do what others do that’s why it will always ask ‘If its popular?’. People prefer to see other people satisfied on the things they do. For an example, you go to school and you are an okay student but you star hanging out with the wrong crowd, most chances are you will start doing what they’re doing because nor you want to feel left out or they keep telling you to do bad things with them. The only one that will end up bad is you not them. When your all grown their won’t pay your rent or pay your bills right?? No they won’t because a true friend wouldn’t tell you to do bad things like smoke. Conscience is the best thing because that will ask you ‘Is it right?’ that’s the best question because you get to think what’s right.

“Let us have faith that right makes right, and in that faith let us to end dare to do our duty as we understand it.”

                                Abraham Lincoln

Reflection:

  I think this statement is saying the truth because you have to believe in order to do things. Some people don’t make the best decisions in life but they try to get back on their feel and achieve. If you believe you will do it. If you do what’s right. Right things are going to happen, nut if you don’t make the best choices you won’t get very far and be ashamed of yourself.

                  Student Success Statement

  “The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon:

 Self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.”

                 Dr.Laura Schlessinger

Reflection:

This quote is very true because you need to have respect for yourself and have dignity, without that you won’t get very far.  To have integrity is to be honest and have ethical principles. Self-esteem is a term used in psychology to reflect person's overall emotional evaluation of his or her own worth.

                  Student Success Statement

“That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.”

                            Ralph Waldo Emerson  

 Reflection: 

  If you’re having problems with something work hard to try to get better at it and not give up. Some people just give up and not accomplish what their dream is. They think that the best way is to stop trying but no that’s just being a failure.If you want to become a professional doctor you have to be persistent and work hard for it.

“The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in DETERMINATION.”

Tommy Lasorda

Reflection:

   I think with determination you can archive anything. You have to be determined and make sure what you want. You will go far if you put yourself a goal and work very hard for it.
