Student Success Statement

"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself."

                                                                 -Henry Ward Beecher

Reflection: You are your worst critic. Nobody will put higher standards for you than yourself. You will judge yourself far worse than anybody else. The only things you can do is live up to those standards and try to accomplish them as best as possible. It is no right to make excuses when you fail because then you will not learn from your mistakes and then you will always set yourself to fail in life.

                                                    "Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get."

                                                                  -Mark Victor Hansen

Always set your mind to mind to your goal and you will succeed in life. I believe this quote means that the goals you set for yourself you are going to accomplish those goals. For example if you want to graduate high school with honors you'll get it because since you have your goal set you won't stop until you accomplish it. If your goal is to rob a store you can accomplish that but there will be lots of negative consequences afterwards. You accomplish the goals you set for yourself because if you don't set it as a goal how are you expected to accomplish it if you're not really thinking about it.

                   "   Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."

                                                                       - Mother Teresa

I believe this quote is trying to say that it’s easy to say kind words, but the actions of doing them is what is really heard by the people.  It's easy to say kind words, but the meaning and emotions you say them with count a lot. The kind words are easy to say but the way that you affect the person with the words are endless. For example so many girls have issues with the way you look so when you tell them they're beautiful, its 2 or 3 simple words, but they'll make someone feel better about them.
