Regarding Successful Living:

“There is no giant step that does it. It’s a lot of little steps.”

-Anon

Although risks sometimes do pay off one must keep in mind that one must built up to what they want. It’s the little things that one does that build a foundation to our goals. Life isn’t all about making life changing decisions to be happy. Stability is needed in maintain a single goal. Not that you should only have one but having a focal point is much easier than rushing through big steps to get what one wants. I’m not going to suddenly get good at math if I decide to get calculus next year. I have to work for it bit by bit, and course by course.

Student Success Statement

“Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question ‘Is it popular?’

But, conscience, asks the question ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells on that it is right.”

-Martin Luther King Jr.

  

 We are focusing on things that we shouldn’t be focusing on. We pay attention to petty things. We merely scratch the surface with foolish questions. The in depth analysis has been compromised by image.  Taking chances and going out of our comfort zone pulls us into the realm of adventure. Being different is a risk one should be willing to take.  We must fight against this repression but forth upon us by society. We can fight against the puppetry we are being forced to experience. We only live once and that cannot be wasted scratching the surface. Our struggles should be worth it. What someone else believes fills all other requisites might the morally wrong. How used are we to this that we don’t even pay attention to the morality of it all? What we know to be right may not fill all or any of those requisites but that does not take away from its righteousness.  We need to choose the right whether its popular, safe, politic, or not.

“Let us have faith that right makes right, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it”

-Abraham Lincoln

   We need to believe that choosing the right WILL lead to more righteousness in the world. If we keep up the idea that what we’re doing is a difference, discouragement will not be able to touch us. If we believe then we feel that push to keep on going. Deep inside the beauty of morality has been instilled in all of us. If it hasn't we need to dig up the willpower to seek it.  We need to try our best to do what we think we were brought here to do. We are here to change the world.

When You Tell A Lie By Lead Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,

You're in trouble up to your ears!  

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you

Then you tell six lies and you'll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

Cause you can’t remember how many lies you’ve told,

And half the things you said aren’t true

And sometime you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will be multiplying

Till the whole wide world will know you’re lying

Then you’ll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie you’re closing a door

On everything good
