Student Success Statement

“Honest 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, and fearless in both actions and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”

B.C. Forbes

I believe that yes honesty is important but there are many other things more important. You can’t always be honest because it’s sometimes very rude. You have to tell a lie here and there and it’s okay because well we are all human. We lie, we cheat, and it’s in our nature.

Honesty

9-10

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.

“Stop worrying whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.”

Phil Jackson

You always need to focus on what you’re doing but you need to worries of your future don’t be stuck in the past or you’ll never have a future, you need both. Don’t fall back in one just to be someone who’s not going to do anything.

Time Management

8-10

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 moment.
