Student Success Statement: Thomas S. Monson

“ You can't be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right.” - Thomas s. Monson

I agree with Thomas Monson, you can’t be right by doing the wrong thing. It is impossible to do something that is wrong and be right. And you can’t do something right and be wrong. What this means is whatever you action is, if it is wrong, you know that this can’t be the right thing to do. We all know the difference between right and wrong, but we choose to ignore it. Why do we ignore it? That is the question. Why do we do it? We do it because we are scared. We do it for many reasons but the main reason is because we are terrified. We are scared that if we do the right thing someone will judge you. We think that someone will think less of us, but that is not true. Everyone has flaws, we all make mistakes. But that is something different. What I’m saying is that we are all different. Nobody is the same.  We are all different from one another, so embrace your differences.

Student Success Statement: Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

“ Enthusiasm makes the difference.”- Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

I agree with Dr. Norman, being enthusiastic can make things different. Enthusiasm can make things much more enjoyable. You can go hiking or go explore, but the thing that makes it fun is enthusiasm. You don’t have to make things boring for yourselves, you can enjoy the things you do. It can make a difference to your life, or the way you see things. All you need is enthusiasm. It may sound hard for some people but it's really not. You just have to think about the things that you could or would like to do with your day. Make it interesting for yourselves. Challenge yourselves, don’t just sit there. If you don’t have anything to do, find something helpful to do. You can do many things in just one day. It all depends on you. It depends on you whether you're really willing to try.

Student Success Statement: Dean Smith

“ I wasn’t trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right. “- Dean Smith

I think Dean Smith was a good person. He was a person that did not think about himself first. He thought about how others might feel. He showed that he cares about other people and that he is an honest person. This quote shows us, the readers that he did what he thought was right. He didn’t do anything because of the fame or because he wanted to be known. He did it because he knows how it feels when you lose something. He clearly states that he wasn’t trying to do anything all he wanted to do was the right thing. I think he is a kind and thoughtful person. He kept an open mind for how others felt. He showed a lot of people and proved to them that he was unselfish and that he really cared about how others felt. He is a person that anyone would like to be or know personally. He is a huge role model for many people that want to be like him.

What this quotes significance means is that life will eventually work itself out for you. I'm not saying that life will be easy for you or that everything you want will come to you. What I’m saying is that if you work hard and do things the right way the first time, you will make your world a whole lot easier. You wouldn’t need to worry  about going back and doing it all over again because you got to lazy or discouraged to do it. You wouldn’t need to go back and do it again because you did it the first time. Life itself isn’t easy for anyone, we all have bumps on the road or adventure.

What i think the significance of this quote is to tell us, remind us of who we are and what we want to be in the future. It gives us a reminder that we all have a different personality. And we all have different ways in looking at things, but we all have a body, mind, and character, when i think of these three words i think about our society.
