"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
This statement means that anything that lies around us does not really matter as much as what lies within us. There can be many things that surround us and it might not be important to us because it is not what you want to do or where you want to go. The most important thing that matters is the things that lie within us which are goals that we want to accomplish. By pursuing these goals nothing else around you will matter because you are only focused on what you want to achieve. For example if you are pursuing to become a doctor, you will only focus on what is needed in order to get there. It won’t and it isn’t necessary to focus on your surroundings because that is not what you want to do.
