Student Success Statement

                        Student Success statement

" Goodneess is the only investment that never fails."- Henry David Thoreau

I agree, if we invest effort in beneficial and proper actions we will be compensated. The investment in proper activities or "goodness" will never fail to compensate the donor of his effort to act properly. Investment is a word usually associated with financial and economic studies. Investment through a philosophical point of view retains the same meaning. If we were to properly invest our time into a proper activity, we would probably benenfit from the activity. If we were to invest our time in an atrocious activity we will be compensated improperly, through a misfortunate situation. Many investments may benefit the investor through time, If the investor was required to invest effort and did not muster enough effort, the investor might have failed and will nonetheless be compensated through what is known as criticism and encouragement, these driving forces illustrate  survival through effort, if you were critcized? would you not invest much more effort in the area in which you were criticized. Choosing what is right is one of the many investment that does not fail, the effort you displace in choosing what is right, will always be beneficial.
