Student Success Statement

“Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds.”

-Anon

I think that what this means is that our mind is the brewing place for success and that what we put in there (whether positive or negative thoughts) will grow into actions that can lead to beneficial consequences or negative ones. It is our choice.

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It’s impossible.”
-Ezra T. Benson

Our conscience is given to us as a gift to be able to distinguish right from wrong. We are not heartless nor ignorant towards our feelings. They are forever present even if we ignore them or try to avoid them. We reap the seed we plant. Cause and effect can be applied to this. If you do right then you feel right but if do wrong then you’ll feel wrong. There isn’t a loophole to our feelings. Things happen and we can’t control our emotions but we can control our actions.

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it’s ended up not being right”

-     Mario Cuomo

Our conscience is a beautiful thing. A little indicator of where our actions stand against the morality of the world. Whether we choose to do what is correct or not we are usually aware of it. We have that gut feeling of our values going down the drain or rising with the positivity. A lesson we can learn from that is that fact that whatever starts wrong ends wrong. Good results can’t be expected from something evil or negative. You harvest the seed you plant. Do what’s right and it will end up right. If you don’t study you might be tempted to cheat, get caught, and get a bad grade. If you do study then you won’t have to cheat and get a good grade all on your own.
