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!

Student Success Statement

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement”

-Matt Biondi

Olympic Gold Medal Winner, World Record Holder

I think that this means that after we build our goals that we need to go on to do more. Dreams are just dreams until you make them happen. No you probably will not achieve them overnight. What you need is persistence. You can’t give up. Keep yup a good attitude and strive for what you want. Invision you making it happen and practice. Then you will turn the impossible into possible.

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.

“A definite worthy goal, combined with a positive mental attitude (PMA), is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement.”

-Napoleon Hill

Our goal must be one that doesn’t manipulate and compromise our character and values but instead exemplifies it. We need that bait to rush forward to our dreams. We need somewhere to go and work for. We also need to believe we can do it. We shall not waste time thinking we can’t but instead have strength in ourselves to push forward and think we are worth the effort.

Student Success Statement

“Good thoughts bear good fruit. Bad thoughts bear good fruit.”

-James Allen

Our thoughts can be thought as seeds. They are the base of our actions. We think before we act and our actions are for the most part reliant on those fleeting thoughts beforehand. This could be a good thing and a bad thing. If we think positively we will act in such a manner beneficial to ourselves and society.  If we think negatively it might impact our actions greatly to a point that will hurt us and other who do not deserve it. That is why we should never think ill of others or have a bad attitude towards certain situations. If we have good thoughts we will plant seeds that will grow into delicious fruit.
