Student Success Statement #91

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, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind”

-B.C. Forbes

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to be really careful with what they do and say. Sometimes people think that is they are dishonest it won’t really do any damage on anybody because when someone is dishonest it is just not being truthful. Sometimes if people are dishonest, they are always telling little white lies. If you keep on saying little white lies, they will become much more than that. Do the right thing and don’t be dishonest.

Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade secrets. How can you work at honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.

Student Success Statement 

"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:

I think that this statement is trying to say that you shouldn't worry about the future. You should worry about the present because the future is not what you are living right this moment. The future  will come only if you worry about what you are doing right this moment. Sometimes what people do is that they only worry about the future and what will the future be like, but they can only find out about the future if they worry about the present.

Time Management 8 of 10

Time Management

Masters the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time —classes, homework and activities— 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 major presentations, 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 at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and 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:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people should always say the truth because if they don’t, then they will probably fall. Sometimes people feel that they have to lie to protect someone else, but they actually don’t because if they tell them the truth then they will avoid making the other person mad because they lied to them. At the end, the best thing to do is to tell the truth.

Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite source 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 attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for 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.

Student Success Statement

"Everyone is the architect of their own learning."

-Claudius

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to decide what their learning will be like and not let others decide for them. If people let others decide what their learning will be like, then they will not learn the way they want to, therefore, they will not learn much. Sometimes all it takes is to decide for yourself how you want to learn.
