"To see what is tight and not to do it is want of courage." Student Success Statment

Student Success Statement

“To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.”

-Confucius

This statement means that if you know you must do something that is the best thing to do and you don’t do it, it shows that you are a coward. This also shows that you need the courage to take steps in order to do what is right. Having the courage to do something will make you achieve anything in life and you will be a successful person.  For example if you want to become a teacher you need to have the courage to study what you need in order to become a successful person.  Studying what you need to study will be the right thing to do because it will lead you to a great path of success.

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.
