Student Success Statement

“Honesty is the corner stone of character. The honest man or women seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrumptiously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind,”

-B.C. Forbes

Reflection

I believe that what Forbes says is correct. Honesty shows character. If you are an honest person you can rest assured that you will always have a clear conscience and peace of mind. In contrast if you are not honest you won’t have a clear conscience and will always have to live with the, what if I had said the truth?

Honesty

9 of 10

Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credits to trade secrets. How can you work with honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.

Student Success statement

“Stop worrying about whether you are going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what is happening right this moment.”

-Phil Jackson

 

Reflection

Phil Jackson’s goal is to make people more concentrated on the present. It is good to set goals for the future but, in order to achieve those goals you have to start at the present; NOW. If you wait too long you risk the chance of never having those goals fulfilled. Don’t over think this because there is one sure way to be successful; always choose the right. 

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. Colleges give you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that is a good thing since most jobs require multi-tasking. 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 tomorrows 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 concentrate on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it is NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.
