"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, and fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."-B.C Forbes
My interpretation of the quote's significance is: The quote is attempting to convey the importance of the implementation of honesty within the life of an individual. Honesty is considered the best quality by numerous individuals, honesty is important within the study of ethics and moral character. An aspect that i have found interesting is the compensation aspect, the segment of the quote truly provides us with an illustration of the importance of honesty within our lives and the benefits it can presents us with. Honesty can reward the individual financially or morally depending on the situation, suppose an individual describes a crime scene after he had described the scene he was financially compensated. Now suppose an individual was honest while conversing with his friend, this individual's honesty had prevented his friend from committing an illegal action, so therefore the individual was compensated with the reward of the "peace of mind" or serenity. The rewards gained through the implementation of honesty can allow you to live a peaceful life.

"Stop worrying about whether you are going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what is happening right this moment."-Phil Jackson(11 world championships-coach, 2 world championships-Player, 2 High-school championships-player.)
The quote is attempting to convey the idea that an individual must focus upon their present objective in order to succeed. The present represents our current events, the decisions we abide by during the present can severely effect our future. Many individuals who are preoccupied with several unimportant aspects within their objective usually cannot devote enough of their time in order to properly complete the objective, these minuscule preoccupations can manifest themselves as obstacles within our lives if we are not able to prioritize and devote our efforts toward our present goals. Suppose a child is intent upon winning a certain competition he cannot properly cooperate with his teammates during the competition, this ambition therefore creates an obstacle within the life of this individual. Therefore we must be able to prioritize and devote our effort onto the present objectives.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Jackson

Time Management 8 Of 10

            Time Management 8 of 10
Learn to properly manage your time and you will benefit during the time in which you are overburdened with demands- classes, homework, and activities- at times you may necessitate your family’s assistance. University provides you with a greater opportunity in order to expand your time management skills by managing your time in solitude. This is the beneficial aspect since most tasks require multitasking. You might need to provide for certain clients while you are attracting new clients, respond to emails while constructing a presentation, or you may need to order produce while you are managing several orders.
Someone once stated “Wherever you are, be there.” The quote is instructing us to focus on the present objective. Do not allow yourself to become inattentive and not be able to properly concentrate. You are not able to repair your mistakes, so you must devote yourself to the present objective! Conquer the present objective


And you will conquer the future objective. Work continuously through the action of devoting your time toward the present objective.

"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon."-Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
The quote attempts to convey the idea that truth can harbor us throughout many situations. The truth will always prevail among all the situations that intervene within our lives. Through my own interpretation truth can be equated to that of a protective lair which can allow us to succeed if we distribute the wonders that the shield offers us. No one can assure their moral stability without being truthful and evaluating themselves. Many of us believe we are truthful, maybe we are? but have many of us truly evaluated ourselves and considered the perception of other individuals, once the evaluation concludes we may be sure. Suppose a child is being questioned if he were to lie he would be jeopardizing his safety and the safety of the community, but if he were to tell the truth he would conserve the serenity within his conscience. One of the most important aspects of the idea known as truth is the serenity it offers us.

Examination Of The Details 7 Of 10

Examination of the details 7 of 10
When you observe and evaluate your mathematical calculations or when you retrieve information from online sources in order to write a paper, you are examining the details within the information. This skill

Can assist you in the workplace environment, whether you maintain a database, record the number of hours you have spent with clients or when you are composing an e-mail.
John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led the team into ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success toward. Among a number of things, he mentioned that examining the details and revision were one of the most important qualities that must be implemented into coaching and within your own pursuits. He even examined the shoe-tying method his players utilized. If their methods were deemed incorrect he would instruct them upon the proper tying technique.
Details may seem minuscule  but from minuscule ideas great things can arise, therefore you must attempt to examine details and with the implementation of this skill you will experience substantial excellence within your academic career.

"Everyone is the architect of their own learning."-Claudius
The statement is attempting to convey the idea of the importance of a student's involvement within their own education. A student will always be responsible for their absorption of knowledge. A student is the individual who determines the amount of knowledge they want to absorb and the complexities behind the knowledge. If the student is self-initiative he or she may guide themselves onto a proper future through the construction of an appropriate academic foundation. An academic foundation is created through the experiences gathered by the students once they are stimulated within an academic environment, this is the moment in which the student decides whether or not they will display effort within their academic studies. Other factors may effect the construction of an academic foundation, but a student will always be responsible for his or her displacement of effort within an academic environment regardless of the situation. Suppose a child is first brought into a learning environment he decides he enjoys the environment, as the years pass his enticement grows because he has realized that he can allow himself to become interested within his education.

            Calm under pressure 6 of 10
Very few alumni enjoy taking an exam. Yet functioning properly while you are participating in a strenuous situation is crucial for future success. Attempt to think of the pressure behind a test as practice that will allow you to better adapt yourself to the spontaneous events with in your life. Maybe one day you might have be confined toward a certain deadline, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemical compounds.
The most effective method to curtail pressure and to even eliminate pressure is the method known as preparation. Implementing the motto known as “Be prepared!” can deliver appropriate results the first time the motto is implemented. Prepare for an exam in order to avoid the stress associated with an exam. During an exam the implementation of this motto will allow you to exhibit limitless potential

"Start with what is right, rather than what is acceptable."-Peter F. Drucker
The author is attempting to convey the idea known as what is acceptable within the terms of society is not always correct. What may seem acceptable with in society may not always be the correct action, these "acceptable" actions are usually created through the preference of the populace and their own obscured perceptions of the world. Beliefs among a community is a perfect example suppose a community does not accept individuals who ingest chocolate, and suppose you are being raised with in this community so you are repeatedly taught to uphold these beliefs, but once you explore the world you perceive that the exterior communities accept individuals who ingest chocolate, so at this point you can ask yourself "the shunning of these individuals was deemed correct with in my community, but was it the correct action to participate with in?" So you must never subject toward populace opinion and actions which are "acceptable".

Initiative 5 Of 10

                     Initiative 5 of 10
Initiative can be compared to creativity, inventiveness, ingenuity, originality, or imagination. Every occasion in which you respond in class, every time you select a research topic, every time you transcribe your own interpretation of a literary piece, you exhibit initiative. Future employers value professionals who exhibit initiative, those who create new ideas and initialize new projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant individuals are self-starters who do not procrastinate. They are aware about the duty they must accomplish and they accomplish their duty. They do not have to be repeatedly instructed. Succeeding in High-school, University, and in the world of careers requires initiative.

"To be great--Concentrate."-Orson swett Marden
The statement is attempting to convey the idea that concentration is essential toward success. I believe the claim of the statement. Concentration is the ability to devote your effort upon one activity or multiple activities. The word concentration is mostly utilized with in the confines of an academic institution and in order to evaluate the learning patterns of the alumni. In order to succeed many essential traits are required and one of them is the ability to concentrate. Concentration allows and individual to completely devote himself upon a goal he or she is attempting to achieve, concentration is different from determination because concentration is usually attributed with visual perception of your goal and your physical involvement. A method in which concentration is evaluated or observed is through the use of children, suppose you are attempting to evaluate the concentration skills of two children, so you observe the time in which they can solve a puzzle with in a noisy environment, when one child finishes the puzzle that child is declared the winner and therefore is assumed to have the greater amount of concentration.

           Cross Country: My favorite sport

 I have recently joined the cross country team with in my schools i was rather exciting since i have been running seriously for about 3 years, my fascination with running started when i was Ten years old during my physical education class when we ran the mile, i was astonished that i was the first one(the second person was my twin Carlos), and i realized that i enjoyed distance running so i proceed to practice and improve. My school did not have a cross country team so i decided to train. During winter and spring vacations my older brother who is attending university visited us and we accompanied him to run in our local park, we ran about 3-4 miles every day, during these instances my running improved dramatically. When i joined the cross country team with in our school i was intimidated by my older teammates i thought that i would not be able to finish a race in first place, during our first practice i finished  in first place with my twin behind me. During the subsequent practice i have been challenged due to the longer distances and the obstacles that are placed(Stairs and obstacle courses), but these challenges has allowed my fascination with running to expand. I have also improved drastically and i am very thankful for the opportunity that i have been given to run for the cross country team within my school, i also immensely appreciate my two running partners my twin and my older brother.

"Education is not a marathon--not a sprint."-Anonymous
My interpretation of my quote is, the author is attempting to express the importance of a constant pace within your education and the effort and time consumption that are attributed with your educational efforts. I believe education is valuable aspect with in the life of an individual. The author compares education to a marathon because education requires a constant pace and continuous effort, compared to that of a sprint which does not require a constant pace and when you sprint you are exerting all of your effort upon a small track. During a marathon you must exert a continuous amount of energy and maintain a constant pace, a marathon consumes time but compared to a sprint you have achieved a tremendous goal with in you life, therefore education can truly be equated to a marathon. Suppose a child is sprinting once has reached the ending point he has exerted all of his energy and has achieved a meager amount of distance, compared to that of a marathon which requires continuous effort but also the individual must sustain energy and therefore he or she can achieve a much more ambitious goal.

" the man who has no imagination has now wings."-Muhammad Ali
The quote is attempting to express the importance of imagination upon an individual's life. As we know imagination is clearly connected with our minds, creativity, or even our personality and aspirations. Our imagination heavily effects the perception of many individuals, if we were to perceive the world with no imagination to allow us to excavate the infinite possibilities that lie within an object or an individual. Without imagination to guide our creativity and perception we would not be able to supply ourselves with aspirations or goals , suppose a child imagines himself as a medical professional, if he did not possess imagination he would not be able to stimulate his curiosity upon the field of medicine. I could even assume that imagination is partially connected to the aspect known as ingenuity or our curiosity, if we were to not possess imagination we would not be able to envision possibilities or even wonder how alterations can effect a certain individual or object, without imagination we may not be able to advance intellectually as humans. Therefore imagination is an important aspect with in our lives.

" Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

The quote is attempting the convey the importance of the quality known as persistence. When a certain task is attempted you can always expect Adversarial  forces that will approach you and attempt to halt your development and if we are not able to exhibit persistence we will not be able to overcome such forces even if we are full of talent the talent will not allow us to overcome every situation. But i believe that some aspects of talent are constructed through persistence, suppose you were attempting to run one mile in under 5:00 minutes, if you were to attempt and fail, but if you were to persist you would construct a talent that can be applied into running, so therefore persistence has allowed you to develop a talent. The most important aspect of persistence is the applicability of the quality, the quality can be implemented onto every aspect of your life, such a s athletics, academics, or extra curricular activities. So therefore persistence will always assist us in the development of talents if it is applied properly.

" To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage."-Confucius
The statement allows us to envision an example of an individual who lacks courage and moral integrity. If you were to participate in a proper activity and you were aware the activity was correct you are exhibiting moral integrity and self initiative. If you were to participate in an improper activity and you were aware that the activity was improper you would lack moral integrity and self initiative, because many individuals who participate within unjust activities are usually individuals who lack self initiative. If you were to be aware of a correct activity and not participate with in the activity, you lack the courage needed to stimulate your self initiative and moral integrity. Suppose there is a child who does not assist an individual his group of friends despise, the child is aware of the other individuals need, but he decides to follow his acquaintances and leave the other child helpless, so therefore this child lacks the courage needed to stimulate his self initiative.

Through Continuous effort talents such as intelligence and strength are gained and therefore theses talents can be implemented.

Many websites claim to provide valid information, but they are full of errors. Other websites present information in a manner that expresses prejudice. How can you distinguish a reliable source from an unreliable source? Also, it is critical that what you upload to the internet is decent and appropriate, never anything that expresses any sexual behavior or action., or anything vulgar, indecent, unethical, untruthful, or obscene. Upload material that will present you or your organization in a respectful manner, and provide the world with beneficial information.

"When an Archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault with in himself. The failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim improve yourself.- Gilbert Arland
When we are attempting to achieve a goal we will presume that we will succeed, we either do accomplish our goal, or we do not. We can presume that the individuals who did complete their goals were the individuals who had delved with in themselves and corrected the fault that restrained them previously, we can also assume that the individuals who had not completed their goals had blamed other aspects of their lives for their failure and their inability to delve with in themselves and correct the fault that will continue to restrain them. Allow me to provide an example, suppose i am running my usual three miles and i complete my three miles ten seconds later than my usual time, i cannot blame the terrain, so i must examine what i had done that had restrained me and correct the insufficient trait.

" Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow."- Robert Kiyosaki
The statement suggests that we must focus on the present situations in order to shape success if we desire. If we decide to be inactive what will we succeed, success is derived from our present actions, and therefore our future is decided by our present actions. If you were to state that you would become a successful business man, would other individuals not inquire upon your motives and ask you what would you do to become a successful business man? would you provide a thorough explanation? or would you presume you would become a successful business man as if it were predetermined? Therefore the individual who is prepared to provide an explanation is an individual who is actively shaping his life, and the individual who presumes he will succeed is an individual who is inactive with in the process of creating a proper life so therefore he or she has not utter purpose.

Student Success Statement

              Student Success Statement

"There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know is evil."-Ayn Rand
Thank Ayn rand for this wonderful statement. We must never attempt to justify an unjust action, because the action will always be improper. We all know even though we participate in an improper action we cannot justify the action because it will always be categorized as an improper action and we cannot change that. But what is right or wrong is heavily influenced by the bases of society and the ideas that the society exhibits. The ideas are also heavily influenced by leadership, culture, philosophy, social organization, and financial situations. Therefore society decides what is correct and expects the citizens to embody the ideas, morals, ethics, and values it has imposed upon us. Would you expect the actions of a communist country to be deplorable in the eyes of the capitalist institution and vice versa? Therefore i am unsure there is a definite right, but the closest item that allows us to identify a definite right is our moral compass, which allows us to generate impulses upon our perception such as guilt. I still greatly believe that the moral compass allows us to differentiate what is right and wrong clearly and that an evil action can never be justified.
