Student Success Statement

“To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice”

-Confucius

I agree with this statement because if someone knows what the right thing to do is at a certain moment and they don’t do it that means that they are cowards. For example if a teacher is absent and leaves work to do, one should follow directions and do the assignment. Others might not do it because the teacher isn’t there to be behind them and telling them what to do. The teacher won’t be there to make sure they are doing the assignment. But it is one’s responsibility to get the work done, whether the teacher is or is not there. If others are not doing the work, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do it either; you know you should do it, so you go on and do it. If you don’t do it, you are choosing the wrong. You must not be a follower. You must be a leader and choose the right.
