“Truth is the only save ground to stand upon.”

What this statement means is that the only way to live is to live under the truth. You will only get so far in life if you always speak the truth. Truth is the option that will keep you save from all negative consequences and you would not have to worry about whether or not you will be punished. When living under the truth, you will always be choosing the right and you will never have to deal with “what-ifs” and you will end up being rewarded.

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”

-Claudius

What this statement is saying is that each and every one of us is responsible for our own actions followed by its consequences. We are the ones who make our own decisions, so we are the ones who are responsible for the consequences as well. No one forces us to do something that we may not want to, but if we still do it, we are the ones to blame. If we do something that will later benefit us in life, then we should do what ever it takes to become someone in life. The actions we take into doing something good will later bring us consequences; good consequences that will definitely benefit us later. Depending on the actions we make and the decisions we take, it will determine our consequences and there is no one to blame but ourselves.

NEVER

“There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil.”

-Ayn Rand

(novelist, philosopher, playwright, screenwriter)

I agree with this statement because I strongly believe that there shouldn’t be an excuse in choosing the wrong. Maybe one might think that just once is ok to choose the wrong, but it’s not. It doesn’t matter how small that wrong is, if it’s wrong then it’s wrong and you shouldn’t do it. For example, you may be at a party and your friends are drinking and they offer you some alcohol. You might deny them at first because you know it’s wrong but they are just going to keep pressuring you until you accept. Then you might have a second thought and be like “Why not? It’s just a small sip?” If You do take a sip, you are choosing the wrong because you are choosing to drink alcoholic beverages yet you know it’s not right to drink but you still do.

"Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices." Student Success Statement

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.”

-Albert A. Montapert

This statement means that anything you do in life, consequences will always happen. Depending on the choices you make, the consequences you will receive. For example if you decide to make the correct choice in studying for a test, then you will receive a good consequence, or reward. The good reward or consequence will be that most likely you will pass the test. Another example of making decisions is when you choose to do the wrong choices. For example if you don’t study for a test, the bad consequences will be that most likely you won’t pass the test. Whether you choose the right or choose the wrong decisions, there will always be consequences as your result.

"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do." Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

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

-Alex Linares

The best thing to do in life is to always choose the right. When choosing the right, you will be making the correct decisions. The outcome of your decisions will determine the consequences later on in the future. It is very important to do the right thing because it will bring you a happy and positive life. An example would be making the correct decision to study for the next day's test. For example, if you will be having a test the nest day, you have to study. But then your friends tell you to go out and play with them, what will you decide to do? The best decision to make is to stay home and study. The best reward is that you will get a good score on your test.

"You cannot do wrong and feel right. it is impossible." Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

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

-Ezra T. Benson

It is impossible to do something wrong and feeling good about it. Doing the wrong will bring negative consequences and you might be living a miserable life.  If you feel good about something that you did wrong, then there is something that is obviously wrong with you. Doing something wrong will cause you to be aware of your conscience and it should make you think about the things you had done.

"Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force." Student Success Statement

“Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force.”

-Elaine Maxwell

Everyone’s consequence is based upon your own decision. If you decided to make the right decisions, you will be awarded and it is YOUR success. If you fail to do so, then the negative consequences that you receive will be on Your behalf. You are responsible for Your own actions.

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong" Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

-Wilford Woodruff

When making a decision, there will always be consequences. If you choose the right, you will gain respect and happiness. But if you choose the wrong, you will not gain anything. You would not have people’s trust and you will portray yourself as a liar. When choosing the wrong, you receive consequences but you don’t gain anything. There is nothing to gain when you choose to make the wrong choices.

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good).”

-Joseph Smith

Our daily life consists of many decisions. We must know what the decisions are the right ones to make. We must be wise to choose the right and receive a good consequence. Practicing the right at a daily routine will be powerful to others because they will be influenced by you. They will know that choosing the right will be their best choice to make. Avoiding the wrong will also help others because they will be avoiding making the wrong decisions that will result in bad consequences.
