Student Success Statement #14

                                                         Student Success Statement #14

"Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right."
                                                                                                    -Mario Cuomo





Reflection:  This quote means that if you do something and it doesn't feel right, it's because it's not right. You have a 6th sense on what's right or wrong and if you believe that something's not right, then it's not. For example, if accepting a gift from someone who's used to stealing, and you have a feeling it was stolen and you know who the owner is, do what's right and go ask the suspected owner if they've lost it. If they have, return it back. Do the right, when you have a feeling what's suspected to right, feels wrong.

Student Success Statement #13

"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me."
                                                                 -Carol Burnett








Reflection: No one can possibly change your life in anyway. Only you can. You make the decisions, you receive either the good things or bad things that come with it. Now suppose you hung out with friends who did drugs. Lets say you ended your friendship with them that same afternoon they had just gotten the new merchandise. That same day, the police got the red handed and they were sent to jail. Now suppose you stayed along with them and as well decided to use the drugs. That same afternoon the police got you all and you all went to jail. Your decisions changed your life. You changed your life. By deciding to hang out with them, you put your freedom in danger. You changed your life with that decision and you changed your right to have freedom and go wherever you want. You changed your life. No one else is to blame.

"There is no pillow so soft then a clear conscience."
                                                                         -French Proverb




Reflection: This quote means that if you have a clear conscience, you'll be alright. For example, your head rested on a soft pillow makes you head feel relaxed, therefore, you're alright. There is no need for you to lay your head on a hard pillow, when you can have a soft pillow anytime, to meet your needs. It may not be easy to have a clear conscience if you choose the wrong, but when you choose the right you'll realize it's pretty simple to have a clear conscience. No one would like to have hard pillow to sleep on, so why choose the wrong and let your conscience keep reminding you, that for your bad actions, something wrong has occurred. Always choose the right, and you'll rest on a clear conscience.

"You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience."

You must learn that doing the right brings you to success. You must learn that doing the wrong is bad,and shall not be done. For example, if you become addictive to alcohol, you're doing wrong. If it was EASY for you to become addicted to it, then it shall be EASIER to become addicted to doing the right. You'll be an inspiration to many because of your good actions. And you'll be pleased with yourself(;

"If it's not right, do not do it; if it's not true, do not say it."
                                                                          -Marcus Aurelius


Reflection: What this man is saying, is the truth. If something's not right, simply just don't do it. If something's not true, don't go blabbering about some dumb rumors you don't even know where they came from. They could have came from a dishonest person and you make that person feel powerful by spreading what they said into someone's mouth. For example, let's say someone spreads a rumor about someone else saying that person has been around. You don't know if it's true. All you know is that person is an straight A student who reaches for what she wants. Maybe the rumor inventor is jealous of that person. Don't spread anything around if you don't have proof of what's been spread. Get your facts straight first.

The Honest Four

                 The four college students from Patterson University, in New Jersey are the most honest people I have heard about. They went into the store thinking it was open, saw no clerk, but still went to pick up the items they wanted, and left the money on the cashier's desk? That talks good about them. And they even left change for the tax. They chose the right. They knew how to value the owner and themselves by not stealing anything. Stealing the things was simple, they just had to take the stuff & leave, but no. They did what was right and payed what they took. That is a-ma-zing.

She's teaching us that a team with people who choose the right can bring you to success. She's shouting out that we should not give up, no matter how hard something is, or if people doubt you'll accomplish it. She's informing us that success is simple; you just gotta keep trying till you accomplish your goal. Just try again if something goes wrong. Choose the right, and you will achieve greatness.
