Student Success Statement Final

“Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy.”

-David A. Bednar

You can use the “bright side”  of  these tests are to  your advantage and to grow. Obedience can be a tool for bettering yourself. Don’t go against the tide but embrace it! It'll be motivation! You need to 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. I think that what this means is that in order to learn things we must let ourselves. To refuse is to shut off possibilities of doing things correctly. We must not always meet things in opposition. Instead we should comply and listen and do as we are told in order to understand the true reason behind it. 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. Obedience is always the best way to go when you know deep in your heart that it is the right thing to do.

“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.

Student Success Statement

“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.

If my mother tells me to go fetch her a glass of water it is an order given to me by a direct figure of authority so it’s my duty to obey and complete that action. I will show my respect and do what is expected of me.
