statement #7


Student success statement

“It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today”

--James Freeman Clark

 

I think that this quote is true because there isn’t any difference to anyone if they make the same mistake.                                                                       

Video post


Video clip reflection

I think this clip was very unbelievable because the kid did what was right and with doing what is right he got something a million times better. He decided to give the baseball to a little upset kid and he got something he deserved by doing the right choice.

Student success statement

“It’s not living that matters, but living rightly”

-Socrates

I think it means that living is based on doing what’s right.

 

50 Habits of Successful People

(Habits 31-35) 

31. They are secure. They do not derive their sense of worth of self from what they own, who they know, where they live or what they look like.

32. They are generous and kind. They take pleasure in helping others achieve.

33. They are humble and they are happy to admit mistakes and to apologize. They are confident in their ability, but not arrogant. They are happy to learn from others. They are happy to make others look good rather than seek their own personal glory.

34. They are adaptable and embrace change, while the majorities are creatures of comfort and habit. They are comfortable with, and embrace, the new and the unfamiliar.

35. They keep themselves in shape physically, not to be mistaken with training for the Olympics or being obsessed with their body. They understand the importance of being physically well. They are not all about LOOKS; THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH FUNCTION AND HEALTH. THEIR BODY IS NOT WHO THEY ARE, IT’S WHERE THEY LIVE.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!

Student Success Statement

“You are accountable for YOUR choices”

Thomas S. Monson

What I think this statement means is that you’re responsible for the choices you make.

Habits 21-30


50 Habits of Successful People

(Habits 21-30)

21. They don’t believe in, or wait for fate, destiny, chance or luck to determine or shape their future. They believe in, and are committed to actively and consciously creating their own best life.

22. While many people are reactive, they are proactive. They take action before they have to.

23. They are more effective than most at managing their emotions. They feel like we all do but they are not slaves to their emotions.

24. They are good communicators and they consciously work at it.

25. They have a plan for their life and they work methodically at turning that plan into a reality. Their life is not clumsy series of unplanned events and outcomes.

26. Their desire to be exceptional means that they typically do things that most won’t. They become exceptional by choice. We’re all faced with life-shaping decisions almost daily. Successful people make the decisions that most won’t and don’t.

27. While many people are pleasure junkies and avoid pain and discomfort at all costs, successful people understand the value and benefits of working through the tough stuff that most would avoid.

28. They have identified their core values (what is important to them) and they do their best to live a life which is reflective of those values.

29. They have balance. While they may be financially successful, they know that the terms money and success are not interchangeable. They understand that people, who are successful on a financial level only, are not successful at all. Unfortunately we live in a society which teaches that money equals success. Like many other things, money is a tool. It’s certainly not a bad thing but ultimately; it’s just another resource. Unfortunately, too many people worship it.

30. They understand the importance of discipline and self-control. They are strong. They are happy to take the road less travelled.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

    Student Success Statement

“Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly”

    -Otto Graham, Jr.

What I think this statement means is that you should THINK before you do something you’re going to regret.
