Student Success Statement

“Dare to stand alone.”

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection:

        I think this quote by Thomas S. Monson is great. I think this statement is great because if you stand alone then you won’t be getting into any of the consequences others might get into. If you don’t think what others or your friends are doing is right then stand up and walk away from that because you know once they get caught you won’t be a part of that. If you stand alone then everything will be fine and nothing bad will ever effect your life or your future. For example if your friend are doing drugs and you don't want to get caught stand up and leave. It doesn't matter if your friends think bad about you because you know you did the right thing. Do not be afraid of what other will think because at the end of the day, it is always up to you and what you think is best.

When is right wrong and wrong right?

Never, because

"You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right."

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: I some what agree with Thomas Monson because it is correct that you can't be wrong when you are doing something wrong, but if there were to be a case where you had to make the hard decision that was wrong yet somehow turned out to be for the greater good, there might be something right by doing wrong.

"Obedience is the great test of life."

Thomas S. Monson

   I agree to disagree. There are things in life that are more important than obedience, for example working hard. Working hard for what you want will get you places...and it would also get you what you want.

"Our very business in life is not to get ahead of others... but to get ahead of ourselves."

Thomas S. Monson 

I agree with this quote because it is very true. It does not matter if you are winning someone else at something, it only matters if you are where you are supposed to be.

“Decisions determine destiny.”

Thomas S. Monson

This quote means that the decisions you make in life will determine your future. What you do now will most likely affect your future. For example, if you choose to go through life without a care about education or health, there would be a big probability that the results would not be positive.
