Student Success Statement

                 Student Success Statement

"Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition, the habit of persistence is the habit of victory."-Herbert Kaufman
http://www.success.com/
The statement is attempting to convey the idea that illustrates the value of courage, diligence, initiative, and persistence within an individual's life. What is failure, failure is the one's ill attempt at mastering a certain skill, while success is the correct attempt at a certain objective, this is the contrast between the two aspects of life. But failure also allows us to evaluate our actions and determine whether or not we can properly succeed, bu one can only succeed if he or she were to allow their courage to guide them through their failures, this can allow them to create ambitions, but they must possess the persistence needed in order to succeed. In order for an individual to succeed and evaluate themselves they need to allow persistence to become habitual with in their lives.

" 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.

"Courage is being scared of death, but saddling up anyway."-John Wayne
Mr. John Wayne is expressing the importance of courage with in an individual's life. Courage is a quality that is constructed through the formation of your ideals. Courage strongly influences the manner in which individuals view you, if you were to lack courage individuals will view you as a coward, if you were to value and exhibit courage, people would view you as a courageous individual. But the importance of courage is the manifestation of courage within your life and the situations involved with courage, if a person was drowning, would you care whether or not you were adequate enough to save the person? Would you jump into the water and rescue the person or would you allow the person to drown?  I know i would jump into the water and assist the person regardless of my swimming ability.
