Student Success Statement

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

-B.C Forbes

Reflection:

What I think that they are trying to say is that maybe if you are an honest person it will show in you r character and it would show that you are a good character to yourself and other people. It also shows that you know how to control your mind and to have it at peace and truthful.

Honesty

9 of 10

Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.

“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.”

-Phil Jackson

Reflection:

What I think that they are trying to say is that that you have to live life and not worry about the little things like if you’re going to win or lose you have to just live in the moment and have fun and think of the great things that can happen if you just don’t worry about the things that are not that important, at least you tried.

Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time-classes, homework and activates-with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment, so you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection:

What I think that she is trying to say is that only if a person is truthful with things then well your safe because you don’t know what you can get yourself into by lying to someone and you don’t know how deep that lie can get in to and then you’ll just get to deal with the dangers and consequences for the lie that you have begun. So stay truthful about things that something and also bring character to you.

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying to details was of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”

Reflection:

What I think that they are trying to say is that you are the one that builds on what you learn because everybody learns in a much more different way. Like say a little kids some learn if you just talk to them nicely and explain to them and there are the ones that sometimes you have to send to timeout so they can get the clue right and learn what they did wrong. So little by little throughout the years people sculpt the way they learn and what they have been taught throughout the way.
