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.

Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind

If teens aren't clear of where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quite until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school- that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity- that you earned it with perfect honesty.
