Student Success Statement

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.

Successful Keys

What are the 3 magic keys to living your life with integrity? 

1. Honesty
2. Responsibility
3. Dedication  

I have chose these three things because without honesty, no one will ever believe you. Everyone will call you a liar. Without responsibility, no one can trust you doing anything. Everyone will think you are a lazy person. And that is where dedication comes in. If you do not have any dedication, you will not do anything you would like to accomplish!
