Student Success Statement by B.C. Forbes

Student Success Statement

"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or legal 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  teaches us a lot about honesty, because honesty is a key to being successful in life. A person who is honest will always tell the truth and never lie to their family, friends, and neighbors. An honest person will always be loyal. A person who always lies and never tells the truth is not an honest person, and that person will never go far in life. An honest person will get a lot of doors opened for them to live a successful life.

Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade secrets. How can you work at honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.

Student Success Statement

"Stop worrying about whether you're going to win or lose and focus you full attention on what's happening right this moment."

Reflection:

I think this is a great statement because if you don't pay attention to what you are doing, then you might not know what to do. For example, if you are playing a basketball game and all you keep thinking about is winning or losing, you won't be focused on the game, which could cause you to lose. Always pay attention to what you are doing, because if you do, you could end up a winner.

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 an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing 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 now.

Student Success Statement

"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon."

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection:

What this statement is trying to state is that telling the truth is always the right thing to do. For example, if you saw someone do something wrong, and they tell you top lie about it, and the teachers ask you what happened, don't lie. If you lie, you are just becoming part of the problem, but if you tell the truth, people will trust you. People don't trust liars, only honest people.

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 teams 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 

"Everyone is the architect of their own learning." 

Claudius

Reflection:

What this statement is trying to say is that everyone has a different unique style of learning. That person just has to find their way of learning. For example, if you doing a problem and you can't understand the way the teacher is teaching, try to find a different way to learn what the teacher is trying to say. For example, you could draw pictures and imagine the problem in a situation. Learning in a different way can help you achieve great success.
