CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement

“I would prefer even to fail with honor than to win by cheating.”

-Sophocles

The quote speaks for itself there’s no need to explain it. It is better to fail with honor than to win by cheating. For example if you are running for prom queen or king and you decided to put in the box ballots with your name on them and you know that is against the rules but you still do it than you are not respecting yourself and the other people who are running against you. Honor means high respect and by you cheating that shows that you don’t care about yourself or the rest of the people running all you care about is winning and you will do anything to win. It’s always better to lose with respect than to win by cheating.

The answers to these questions will determine your success or failure:

1. Can people trust me to do what’s right?
2. Am I committed to doing my very best?
3. Do I treat people the way I want to be treated?

If the answers to these questions are YES, there is no way you can fail.”

-Lou Holtz

What Mr. Holtz is saying is that if you are committed to what you do and you treat people in a kind matter you will NEVER fail. In order for you to be successful at what you do you need to be committed and honest in order to be trusted by others. If you are not honest than people won’t be able to trust you and if people can’t trust you than you will not succeed at what you are trying to achieve. For example if you want to plan a dance at your school but people can’t trust you in making this dance happen than most likely they will tell you that you can’t do it and they will put someone else in charge instead. And if you don’t treat people the way you want to be treated than they won’t even want to be around you because you’ll be rude all the time. In order to be successful you need to say yes to these three questions and there is no way you’ll ever fail.
