A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

“I hated poverty.

Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.”

Dr. Ben Carson

Reflection:

What I think the quote by Dr. Ben Carson means that when your mind is set that you will always be stuck0 in poverty and you’ll never make it out then you never will. If you decide I don’t want to live in poverty because if you really wanted to you’ll find a way. Like Ben Carson’s mother tried her hardest trying to not be in poverty any longer. Since his mother did that it influenced him to try his hardest and make it out of poverty.

Student Success Statement

Never, because

“You can’t be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right.”

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection

What I think this quote by Thomas S. Monson means is when you no something is wrong it can never be right. For example, when you steal that can never be right wrong will always be wrong. He also says you cant be wrong by doing right. For example, when you do something kind for someone it will stay right even if that person doesn’t deserve it right will always be right.

Student Success Statement 

"Enthusiasm makes the difference."

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale 

Reflection:

What I think this quote by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale means is when you have a lot of enthusiasm in something in makes such a total difference. I think that because for example if your failing math you have to have enthusiasm to change your grade. When you decide to have enthusiasm in your work and actually want to do something that's when your feelings about it change and you actually start to improve. Because when you have a bad feeling about it you wont really change anything about it. So that's why i think agree with the statement by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. 

Student Success Statement

“It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.”

Dr. Randy Pausch

Reflection:

What I think this quote by Dr. Randy Pausch means its never going to be about the achieving your dreams. It will always be about the way you lived your life whether you were humble or you did the wrong. Once you learn how to live your life having good karma all your hopes and wishes would come to you.

Student Success Statement 

"Intelligence plus character that is the goal of true education."

M.L King Jr.

Reflection:

What i think about the quote "intelligence plus character that is the goal of true education." means is that because education is there but wanting to actually learn something is something else. You need intelligence and character to get through education. When you have intelligence in education is you are actually doing the work because when you put your all in the work you will get it done so without it you wouldn't actually be doing education. You don't always have to be intelligent unless you put as much effort as you can to your school work and you will learn something.
