Student Success Statement

"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman 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:
What this statement probably means is that if honesty is what shows your character and that an honest person wouldn't do what is wrong, but be strong and fair. In other words, honesty represents character and the honest man/woman always is fair, respectful, and brave. For example, someone who is honest shows that they are fair and brave, but a dishonest person shows that they are cowards and unfair.  

 

Honesty

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

“ Student 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:
What this statement means is that it doesn't matter if win or lose but on concentrating on what is happening now. In other words, don't worry if you are winning or losing, but only focus on what is going on right at that very moment. For example, you are playing a soccer game and your team is losing, don't worry about it and only focus on what is going right at that moment. 

 

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 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:
What this statement probably means is that being honest is best way to walk upon. In other words, having the truth with you the road is always solid, not rough. For example, if you are not honest, then you will feel guilty and your road is always bumpy. However, if you are honest then you will feel great and your road is straight.

 

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 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.

What this statement probably means is that the one that builds their learning is yourself. In other words, you are responsible for your own education. For example, There is a test the next day and you want t pass it ,so what you should do, instead of cheating, is you study the night before the test or if you knew about a week ago, you could of studied during that time, and you are sure to pass the test because you were responsible for your own learning.
