Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement
“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or women seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”
-B.C. Forbes

Reflection: This statement is saying that honesty is the foundation of your life. And if you avoid doing the wrong things, that will lead you to be dishonest. Being honesty pays off at the end of the day because it gives you a clear conscience and peace at mind.

Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement
“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.”
-Phil Jackson

Reflection: I think this statement means you need to stop worrying whether or not you're going to fail or succeed, all you need to be doing is focusing on what your doing at the moment and try your very best at it.  


Time Management 8 of 10

Time Management
8 of 10
Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time—classes, homework and activities—with some family help. College gives you even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by going it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.
Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”
-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection: I think this statement means that truth is the only thing that will grantee you safety at heart, and when you tell the truth it doesn't make you feel not safe or weak. however when you lie, it can make you feel not safe at heart. 


Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail
7 of 10
When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.
John wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.
Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement
“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”
-Claudius
Reflection: I think this statement means everyone had their own way of learning and how they choose to use it. For example, if you’re a good and fast learner and keep building it up you can do whatever you set your mind to. On the other hand if you don’t really care about learning, then most likely you’re not going to go very far in life.
