Goodness

Goodness

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau

What i think this quote is trying to say is that when you do good a lot it will never fail you you will always get something in return like a feeling that you’ve done something right. Henry David was an American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor and historian and i'm sure this man knows what is right this man fought for people right he took a stand. What this man is trying to say that if you do something good you will get something good in return and you will always feel good about it.

Right

“My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they’re popular; you make them because they are right.”

-Theodore Hesburgh

What this quote means is that you don't make decisions because is the fastest and popular way to get there but because they are right. Furthermore don't take the easy way out do what is right don't cheat when you can play fair because it always comes back to you in the end. Choosing what is right is always the best thing to do even when it's the hardest thing to do you still have to do what is right

True Independence and Freedom

"True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what is right"

-Brigham Young 

What this quote means to me is that you only can be free if you do what is right and you dont have to depend on anybody. The only time you are truly free if you do what is right rather than doing what is wrong and get locked up and lose your freedom. Doing what is right is always the best thing to do always even if the other persons thinks its right and you know its not dont do it that's when you are truly independent.

"Cheater"

Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it                                   -George Mitchell                                

I think that cheating is wrong because somebody has worked so hard for what you cheated for you ruin it for everybody. Later on it catches up to and for the rest of your life you're going to be known for a cheater and your reputation is ruined. Cheaters ruin all the fun for everyone because they don't play fair. When you cheat you're not only ruining it for others but you’re also ruining it for yourself because if you cheat off of someone else on a test you not learning it you cheating and later on that's going to affect you. When all you have to do is study do all your homework come to school everyday and be respectful you don't have to cheat that's not the right thing to do.

Albert Einstein (Quote)

"Whats right isn't always popular. Whats popular isn't always right."

-Albert Einstein

True what everyone else thinks is right it may not look right to you because you have never did and you know its wrong to do. Some people may not agree with you for not doing what their doing but smart people are selective of their friends. You dont have to drink or smoke just to become popular in the school you can do something to make the school remember and set an example for the next wave of freshman coming next year. Sometimes if you make a mistake you can learn from it dont dwell on it because it just causes more stress so just be you dont let anybody stop you.

Student success statement

"Always do right."

Doing the right thing is always right and you know its right and it feels good while your doing it. Always do right and right will come onto you. As another quote says "Do onto others as you want them to do onto you" If you treat people bad their going to treat you bad, If you treat them with respect their going to treat you with respect. Sometimes people will treat you with disrespect that's okay you don't have to lower yourself to their standards if you do it makes you them. arguing with stupid people makes you stupid.
