Student Success Statement #69

"You can't hire someone else to do your push-ups for you."
                                                                                                    - Jim Rohn


Reflection: Mr. Rohn has a point. You have to do things yourself and for yourself. No one can do it for you. For example, Derek Rose and his coach found someone who would take an exam and pose as Rose so Rose would be allowed to play in the basketball team because he was such a great player but wasn't able to pass the exam. That was choosing the wrong. I mean yes maybe they did find someone who could do something for them but the truth was revealed and Rose and the coach were in a lot of trouble. If you happen to find someone who can do something for you, you'll never learn. You'll, as well, bring consequences to yourself if you decide to choose the wrong. You have to learn to do stuff for yourself. Now one can just come and do it for you. You have to take baby, little steps and learn yourself. Practice makes perfect. Honesty makes perfect. You must and shall learn that you only live once and you should make the best of it by doing things yourself instead of hiring someone like Derek Rose and his coach did, because "Every action in this world will bear a consequence."
