Student Success Statement

“When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block it becomes a building block.”

-James E. Faust

I really like this student success statement because it is very true. You start to look at the “bright side” of choosing the right a bit more. You use these tests to your advantage and to grow. If you continue to see them as a drag then they will feel heavier than they really are. Obedience can be a tool for bettering yourself. Don’t go against the tide but embrace it! It'll be motivation!

“Obedience is the greatest test of life”

-Thomas S. Monson

I think that this means that it can be very difficult to obey and comply to people’s rules. Most want to be their own person and do what they want. They don’t think of the negative consequences that can occur if one does not follow directions. If you are strong enough to be obedient you know what your integrity is strong.

“Obedience sums up our entire duty”

-Hosea Ballou

Honestly I think we have more to give than obedience. We have feelings and thoughts and we’re human. We’re worth more than doing what we’re told if we feel we can give more to the world. No I’m not talking about simple tasks, or laws, or anything like that but I’m talking about limitations on creativity. I think we have more to do than listen to others. We can exceed what we are made to believe. That is what I believe.

“The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have.”

If we are obedient we are free from worries about getting caught. We are free from guilt and shame. If we do what we are told to do then we will find that we are blessed with the freedom we deserve. We don’t know it all and rules are to be followed for a reason.

Obedience Synonyms:

·         Acquiescence

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise”

-Benjamin Franklin

        Health is very important and besides diet and exercise a very important factor of good health is sleep. As teenagers we might stress out and our sleeping schedules might suffer the consequences. That can lead to poor performance while awake at school or work. That in turn can cause even more stress and the cycle goes on. Television and computer addiction can also be a problem. We think its more important than sleeping when in reality sleep is the priority. Sleeping well and rising early is great for your health!
