Student Success Statement

“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”

~ Peter F. Drucker

You should always do what is right even if its not acceptable. For example if you are playing a sport and you cant walk out the game but a player from the other team  gets hurt you should go do what is right and help them even though you will interfere with the game time.

Student Success Statement

NEVER
“There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil.”
~ Ayn Rand

I think this quote means that no matter what you did and you knew it was wrong it will never be considered a “right” thing to do. This is why you should always choose the right so that you wont feel bad or guilty about anything. 

Student Success Statement

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it’s ended up not being right.”

~ Mario Cuomo

When you are doing something wrong, you can feel it within you. You start to feel bad, guilty and question yourself couple of times. That is why you should always do what is right so you could feel good about yourself. 

Student Success Statement

“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”

~ Davy Crockett 1786-1836

Before you think about doing something, make sure you are doing something that is right. Make sure you choose the right. If you know that you are doing something wrong, Stop and do it right before you get into more problems.

Student Success Statment

“It’s not WHERE you live but HOW you live that counts. It’s not where you play the game but HOW you play the game that counts”

~ Mr. Haymore

For example, you could live in an ugly neighborhood but you still do whats right and live a good and healthy lifestyle. Also for example you could play a game in an ugly dirty place but still play excellent and very well.

Student Success Statement

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good).”

                                ~Joseph Smith

Its our job to influence others what is right and what is wrong. Everyone should do right and not chose to do bad. We should follow the right influences.

Student Success Statement

 “What’s right isn't always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right.”    

~ Howard Cosell

I think what Howard is trying to say is that if something is popular and everyone is doing it, it still isn't right. For example, if a lot of people are ditching school, only because a lot of people are doing it doesn't make it right. Ditching is wrong, you are losing your education the more and more you ditch. You can also get a ticket and be sent to court. So you shouldn't do the wrong things just because a lot of people are doing it and you want to seem cool. Just care about yourself and do what’s right. 

Student Success Statement

“You will never regret what is right .”

This quote means that when you do something right you will never regret it. You know you did something good so why would you take it back. Doing what is right will make you a better person and a successful person as well.
