“Set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.”

-Bo Jackson

                I agree with this quote because I do believe people should set goals for themselves and try their best to achieve them. Some goals might seem unrealistic but if you try your best you are able to achieve anything you dream. If there is something someone should live by it would be don’t ever ever ever give up, cry, through, a fit, beat something up but don’t give up!!

“If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.”

-Thomas J. Watson

            This is a very powerful quote as of the guidance you need in achieving your dreams is in this quote. Many people find it difficult to achieve their goals when in reality they aren’t doing much to live their dream, they are dreaming it but they aren’t taking any actions. People should follow this quote when in need of inspiration and do as it says.

“Work as a team to achieve your dream”

-Sarah Real

                

I disagree with this quote because I don't believe that goals you set to yourself are supposed to be done in a team I believe people are supposed to  accomplish their goals by them self yeah there are people that are going to help you along the way but I think it’s a one person effort. When a person for example, is trying to achieve their dream in becoming an actor sometimes they won’t have the support from their friends and family because they probably don't believe in hem and so when they achieve their goals they did it on their own proved their family and friends that they can achieve what they desire by themselves.

Student Success Statement

“Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds… You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds…”

-ANON

I fundamentally believe in this quote because I believe that everything that happens or anything you are going through it’s because you somehow attracted that to yourself. When you constantly think something is going to go wrong or that something just isn’t right most likely it will turn out that way because you are attracting that negativity towards yourself you are the leader of your life so take charge are live your life the way you want and bring prosperity to yourself as then you will have it enjoy it.

“You will become as great as your dominant aspiration (goal)”

-          James Allen

The significance of this quote to my perspective is , you will become what you impose yourself to be, you don’t need anybody but you, you are who you want to be doesn’t matter how big or little you want to be in this life you will become it. You as a person need to educate yourself and propose yourself with many goals doesn’t matter the size of the goals as long as you believe and don’t give up then it will come true. Let’s take my me for instance, when I was first learning how to ride a bike I thought it was difficult but I decided to not give up and learn how to ride a bike, I’m still learning but my goal is to know how to ride a bike and in no time you’ll see me riding a bike.

Student Success Statement

“Good thoughts bear good fruits. Bad thoughts bear bad fruit.”

-James Allen

            

To my understanding the expression of this quote implies how you attract what’s in your thoughts. For example, if you are constantly thinking good then good will come your way but if you are thinking about bad things then bad will just invade you. I believe that this quote is actually a very good one I mean it makes sense as you attract what you think and not really what you want.

There is so many things you could know when you have the capability to decode a genetic code. You a glimpse of the future in knowing what type of illnesses the child might have.

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

-Alex Linares

        

    The significant of this quote is that doing the right will always be the right thing to do in which I totally disagree because there are occasions in where doing the wrong can be the best way out of a certain situation. Doing the right can get you far and have you realize how great of a person you can be but sometimes the best thing to do is the wrong. You sometimes need to sacrifice yourself for others because that’s the right thing to do. I don’t believe between right and wrong I believe that many people have many different morals and just because you don’t agree with them or think they are “right” it doesn’t precisely mean it’s wrong.

"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company."

-ANON

My interpretation of this quote is in how things would be easier if people were alone than in bad company. Sometimes people like to hang out with the different types of crowd and being so can get you in a lot of trouble since you might end up doing things you probably haven't done which is a good thing but they might not be part of your morals and then you'll feel bad and you'll bring consequences to yourself. If you don't want to get in any trouble try and avoid people or things that can get you in trouble, especially with yourself. It's always better to be alone than in bad company. There is also the scenario in where the people you are usually with are nothing but two face and back stabbers and that is when I truly imply this quote because why would you want to be around instigators and people who just like to cause damage to others because they are tired of damaging themselves.

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible.”

 –Ezra T. Benson

My opinion on this quote is that a, what society considers normal, person wouldn’t feel right doing something wrong knowing that it’s wrong it’s just not “normal”. There are people with brain damage or something isn’t clicking and might think the opposite, when doing something wrong to them it’s doing something right without them realizing it. People tend to communicate what or who the people are when in reality they are just expressing their; believes and opinions. Just because they said it doesn’t mean its true, people have the right to maintain their own opinion not mattering what other people might think.

"I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our conscience." 
-Robert E. Lee

What I interpret from this quote is how doing the right can save you from having a bad conscience. In living through life with a good conscience and not having any regrets or negative thoughts about why you did certain things when they weren't right in the first place. Its all about choosing the right and taking the correct path towards the life you desire I don't think many people do the wrong on purpose and when they do their conscience torments them and keeps them on a bad track that will eventually be discovered because of how their conscience subconsciously left "footprints" behind as a cry for help.

Student Success Statement

"Tell me what is right and I will fight for it"

-Woodrow Wilson

First of all there shouldn't be telling anybody body what is right and what is wrong because everyone has a different perspective all the right and wrong things. I don't think there is a right or wrong everyone is free to elect what feels right to them not to the world but to them. Why would I start fighting for something that is supposedly "right" when I don't even have the fundamental ideas of these choices, just because someone says it was right doesn't mean I'm going to go and fight what if to me that's wrong? If you want to fight for what is right then go ahead and fight for what YOU believe in and not in what others do. Why do you have to be manipulated in such a way that you have to be told what to do?

Student Success Statement

"Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self esteem, and personal satisfaction."

-Margaret Thatcher

My significance about this quote are very self explanatory in the quote. This quote is explains itself its not a riddle, but my thoughts about this quote are quite different see disciplining yourself into doing something can be both beneficial and dangerous I guess you could say. When you discipline yourself into doing something its very helpful in matter in where you went have to think twice about the decision you are taking because you automatically know what is it that you are doing but when it becomes serious, being discipline doesn't help you at all it just might make the things worse. You are being challenged between something you know and something you don't know. But disciplining yourself in doing the right thing can be something good for you as you won't struggle when it comes to making a right or wrong decision.
