Student Success Statement #61
Student Success
Statement
“The ultimate choice you will ever
make, one choice supersedes all others- the ultimate choice. This one choice
will help you to always make correct decisions. This one choice, The Ultimate
Choice, is your keystone to being the best student and person you can possibly
be. This one choice will forever affect you for good more than any other
choice. The Ultimate Choice is: to be a CTR Person – to always Choose The Right.”
Reflection:
This statement has been repeated to me for a year now to
build common sense, a skill for humanitarian belief, a push to strive for
academic success, a push to pursue a spiritual connection with myself and to
become a better human being overall. This quote and this saying will probably
be attached to me forever since it’s an easy quote to remember.

Statement
“A man without a goal is like a ship
without a rudder.”
-
Thomas Carlyle
Reflection:
I think what Carlyle is trying to say is that a man without
a goal is absolutely nothing. He has no ambition. He will go nowhere in life.
Just like a ship without a rudder, he won’t go anywhere. He won’t get anywhere
he wants to because he has no goal or ambition. There’s no purpose to it.

Student Success Statement #59
Student Success
Statement
“If there is beauty in character,
there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will
be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in
the world. Conclusion: If there is beauty in character, there will be peace in
the world.”

Chinese Proverb
Reflection:
What this proverb is basically trying to explain is that if
there in beauty, harmony, and order in the person, that creates a sense of
character. Those are the pillars to the Chinese. It is similar to our proverbs
in a way because they both have to have peace and beauty and order within them
to be a good character.

“I would prefer to fail with honor
than win by cheating.”
-
Sophocles
Reflection:
It is always better to fail at something and to admit that
you did and own up to your failure and to your mistakes or else it’ll haunt you
for a good amount of time. It’ll follow you around and it will make you feel
guilty and you’ll have to confess to it sooner or later.
