Student Success Statement

                 Student Success Statement

"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.

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.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

"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.

"Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement."-Matt Biondi
This statement is attempting to convey the importance of persistence within the life of an individuals. Persistence is defined as continuous effort even when adversity is imminent. I admire persistence and the rewards that can be achieved through the exertion of persistence. If we want to improve upon an activity we must exert effort and withstand several obstacles that may halt our development with in that particular activity. But first you must evaluate the importance of persistence with in your life, suppose you cannot execute a proper running technique, if you were to exert effort and persistence you will probably be able to master that technique, therefore in many instances failure allows you to understand the value behind what is known as persistence.

" 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.

 "In life as in Football you will not go far unless, you are certain were the goal posts are.-Arnold Glasgow
This statement is a vivid representation of Arnold's ideals. In life the foundation that form accomplishment are goals. Without goals we are left without a guide, we are not able to translate the aspirations we hold onto goals. We must set goals in order to succeed, we must organize our procedures, if we do not we are left in a disoriented world which upholds no direction or purpose. Goals express the need for organization within an individuals life, goals allow us to achieve they classify and describe our needs. People who have no goals, feel as if they uphold no purpose within life, they feel disoriented and depressed. People with in this category are very disorganized and indecisive individuals, they are rather passive and do not uphold a sense of urgency, but goals promote a sense of urgency in order to motivate the individuals onto completing the goal. Goals can be thought of as markers within your life, they motivate us and create our aspirations, that is why i believe goals are essential toward proper human social and solitary function.
