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 

(A Scottish financial journalist and author who founded Forbes Magazine). 

What this quote is trying to say is that you need to always choose the right path. You can either be the hero or the villain. You can either steal or pay. You can either tell the truth or lie. So, you have an option to do good or bad. But this quote refers to honesty. So, you always want to tell the truth. If you on't choose to tell the truth, get ready to suffer even more harsh consequences. So, never lie. But always tell the truth to avoid trouble.

The Three Don'ts 

Don't whine 

Don't complain

Don't make excuses 

John Wooden 

These three quotes mean similarly like the ones yesterday. They also refer to the nevers. So in other words you should not ever do these as well. Never whine. If you always whine people will not like you. Never complain. You should never complain. Most complaining should be about stuff that will help you. Never make excuses! There should never be excuses, not unless it is life threatening! Choose the right!

"You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience." 

Robert E. Lee

What this quote really means is that always have to do right so your conscience can be clear. If you just try to hide the wrong, you will feel guilty. So never do the wrong, but always do the right. If you always do the right you have nothing to worry about, so please take this quote into consideration! An example would be a person going to dental school. He has a huge exam coming up. Now he can either study or not. SO this person makes up a lot of flash cards, now I mean a lot. So he studied single day  And guess what, he passed the exam with a perfect score.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 5

5. Seek First to Understand, and then to be Understood

Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood? This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active listening.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are—a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent).

Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than when we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn.

Listen, really listen, for understanding.

Seek first to understand then to be understood—LISTEN.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Kindness

Kindness 

I believe kindness should go to every single person in the world. Kindness can be anything, for example helping others in need of your assistance. Another example could be from a evil person. Lets say a thief that steals. That is choosing the wrong, and for stealing you get a consequence. The consequence could be jail time or prison. There can be many more  examples of kindness. I have provided two examples of kindness, one positive and one negative. To be more kind I will TRY to have more patience will stupid people with act ignorant and disrespect their elders or teacher!!! I still cannot be surely positive about being more kind to immature, rather. So yes, this is what I will try to do with my future reference life. Be More Kind! And all you who disrespect your elders, please don't! I am begging you not to. And least show some respect and dignity to your elders and teachers. Maybe this can be your objective for kindness!
