Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or women seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollar and in peace of mind.”

B.C Forbes

(A Scottish financial journalist and author who founded Forbes Magazines).

This statement is conveying how in order to live life in a peaceful manner we have to be honest, not only to other people but also to ourselves. In order for one to be honest with other people the first step is to be honest to yourself because if you’re not honest with yourself you won’t be able to be honest with other people.

Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade secrets. How can you work at honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Summary/Reflection

Summary/Reflection:

Marion jones former world champion track and field athlete , she won three gold medals and two bronze, she was a role model for many teens, she had what she wanted but she decided to choose the wrong. She cheated and she was doing drugs and she lied when she was in court. Marion jones was sentenced to six months in prison. I think that once someone becomes famous or has more than they had they start to “fall out” the surpassed their obstacles and at the end they crash them by choosing the wrong. We as a human have to know from wrong and right because once we do something big it will for sure change our whole life. Always choose the right and you'll be happy for your decisions.

“If it is right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”

Marcus Aurelius

Roman Emperor from 161 AD to 180 AD

This statement means that there are many times in life where we encounter a situation where we know is wrong but we don’t know what to do and the best thing to do is to actually avoid the problem. The best things to do in life are to avoid all the problems that will impact our life and future; if we know something is not “accurate” we don’t have to say it. A great example would be a simple lie because once you say it there’s a whole controversy between the problem, sometimes that little lie can change everything its better if we just stay quiet it if we know it’s not true.

  

Summary/Reflection

Summary/ Reflection:

A man returned stolen cash to a sear store in Seattle after 60 years.  This man gave back 100 dollars for stealing about 20-30. I believe he did good for returning what he stole because in many cases there are a lot of people that steal and even though they feel guilty they never would do what the man did. I agree that once you do something wrong you will never forget about it. It will always be there. Always choose the right and you will never know how that guilt feels. I believe that once you do something bad it will always haunt you, it’s better if you never do bad things, because e sooner or later you will regret it.
