"Success is not an accident. Success is actually a choice. Are the habits you have today on par with the dreams you have tomorrow?

Alan Stein

Reflection:

What I think this quote by Alan Stein means is that in order to have success you must be able to move towards success. Meaning you must try as hard as you can to make the success happen it just doesn't happen overnight. What you do know will affect your future.

"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."

Thomas Carlyle

Reflection:

What I think this quote from Thomas Carlyle is that when you set a goal it gives you a meaning to life. Such as if you don't have a goal you don't know where you'll end up just like the ship. Without a rudder there's no direction such as no goal no direction to life. A goal is like setting a plan for the future where you might end up. Without a goal you will end up lost and not going anywhere in life.

Chinese Proverb 

REFLECTION:

I think the proverb is saying you must have a good perspective on people. Such as resolving things there's always ways you can deal with something. But it's weather it's the right way to deal with it. In order to have peace we must have a good perspective on life and others.

"I would prefer even to fail with honor 

than to win by cheating."

Sophocles

Reflection:

What I think this quote means is to prefer to fail with honor than to win by cheating. It's better to lose by doing the right than to win doing the wrong.

Student Success Statement

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong"

Wilford Woodruff

Reflection:

What I think this quote means is when you do the wrong thing there will never be a price or reward for it. For example, if you choose to do the right thing you earn many things like respect and feeling great. When you choose the wrong you get no gain such as feeling bad about your self. You will also experience guilt of the would would've and should happened.

Student Success Statement

"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem."

Dr. Laura Schlessinger 

Reflection: 

What I think this quote means is that once you choose the right you will feel good all around. Whether it's you feeling great about yourself or making yourself a better person. When you choose the right it benefits you and others.

Student Success Statement

" When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive."

Alan Paton

Reflection:

What I think this statement by Alan Paton is about is once someone hurts you so deep you can't recover until you forgive them for it. Also, there's no way you can move forward if your still stuck in the past. If you keep reminding yourself about it then it will just continue to hurt as bad as it did the first time. So you must be able to forgive to be capable to make peace with that person. Then it's on you whether you wan't them in your life or not.

Student Success Statement 

"Dare to stand alone."

Thomas S. Manson

Reflection:

What it think this quote means by Thomas S. Manson is when all your friends are doing something bad and you don't want to do it you should be courageous enough to say no and do your own thing. For example, JamesOn Curry had a winning record but he couldn't say no to the other people who were dealing drugs he was also arrested. He had to suffer consequences just for not being able to say no and to risk his career in basketball. Because he couldn't say no he suffered the consequences and won't be able to have a career in basketball.

Student Success Statement

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."

Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection: 

What i think this quote means by Theodore Roosevelt is when you don't know what to do in a situation you always have to pick the right. For example, if you cheat on a test and they ask you whether you did it or not you should always say you did. For the reason that you did the wrong thing and you owned up to what you did. You choose the right whether it would get you or others in trouble. You do what is right for the reason that its the right thing to do. Also, when your faced with dealing with a problem and don't know which way to decide on it you should do what you think is right not what others think is right.

"Make each day your masterpiece. 

You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better, and over a period of time you become a lot better."

John Wooden, 

UCLA

Reflection:

What i think the quote by John Wooden means is that what you want can't just be handed to you. What you want has to be earned. You work hard to get what you want. With day by day you practice and practice and you will get better each time. For example, if you wish to get 100% on a test and the last time you took it you failed you practice practice and practice and you will get better.  Also, if you have no idea how to ride a bike you work on it everyday and you will get better. Practice makes perfect.

"A promise must never be broken."

Alexander Hamilton

Reflection:

What I think the quote by Alexander Hamilton means is that if your're saying your committed to something you can't just turn around and not do it. For example, if you promised your're mom you'd finish the dishes then you have to finish them. Breaking a promise leads to someone losing complete trust of you.

"What you see is what you get"

Anonymous

Reflection:

What i think this quote means is that when you see yourself becoming something you would become it. Meaning that if you see yourself being that  then you'll set a goal to become it. So you will start working so hard you will become it. But if you don't see where your future is going then there really wouldn't be a future for you. If you want something bad enough then you'll do anything to get it. If you have this picture in your head then maybe it will become into reality. 100+ goals has a huge part to do with achieving a dream because you see it everyday when you read them and it's a constant reminder of the dream that you set.

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."

Henry David Thoreau

Reflection:

What it think the quote means is that goodness will always be there. Also, that goodness is the only thing you'll need in life. For example, if your doing something for others and don't know weather something will go wrong you will always pick goodness because its never wrong. Also, not knowing weather to choose the good or the bad you choose the good because goodness is the only thing you'll ever really need.

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”

Theodore Hesburgh (Former president of Notre Dame)

Reflection:

What I think the quote by Theodore Hesburgh means is you only make chooses because they’re right. You don’t listen to what others choose to do. You don’t take the short cut to the problem. You don’t do things that are wrong just because people think it’s cool or fun. For example, bullying someone everyone thinks it is fun but you’re not going to do it because it’s not the right thing to do. 

Student Success Statement

"It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound"

Joseph Smith

reflection: 

What i think the quote by Joseph Smith means is to concentrate on what is good and sound. Also, to acknowledge what is wrong and what is right.  What I also think the quote means is to make was is bad unpopular so people will stop harming others and doing what is wrong.

Student Success Statement

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

Abraham Lincoln

Reflection:

What I think this quote by Abraham Lincoln means he will always be on the side of what’s right. Also that to be true to you and it’s not always about winning in life it’s about being true. Also if your routing for the good in people or the good when it starts to become the wrong you will no longer be on that side for the reason it’s no longer true to the good.

Student Success Statement

“Character is higher than intellect.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection:

What I think this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson means is if you’re intelligent with a bad attitude it won’t matter if you even are intelligent. It all matters in character whether you have a good vibe and aren't rude and you’re a great person in general. If you’re really intellect but with a poor attitude it won’t really get you places in life. It’s way better to be one of the dumbest people there is but you have a good heart and a great character.

"I trust that my hard work will pay off." 

Tyler Haws

Brigham University 

Basketball player----

Mormon Church Missionary

Reflection:

What i think this quote by Tyler Haws means is that if you put a lot of effort into something you want it will be yours. Also, that you may not like something your doing but in the long run you will be thankful you did that. For example, him not being dropped from the basketball team he didn't let that stop him from continuing to practice until he got better. After so much practice with his dad and by himself he got to reach so meaning records and got into college basketball.

Student Success Statement

“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.”

Brigham Young

Reflection:

What I think the quote by Brigham Young means is in order to have independence and freedom you have to do what’s right. Meaning for you to me free of a guilty conscience is to do what’s right. To actually be at peace and to live your life in freedom without guilt is to always do what’s right for others and yourself because when you don’t you won’t be at peace and it would affect you through your life so it won’t let you be free.
