Student Success Statement

“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”

-B, C. Forbes

(A Scottish financial journalist and author who founded Forbes Magazines)

What this statement means is that honesty is the key to everything and is very important. Honesty will make you go far in life because it shows you are trustworthy and loyal. People will see that in you that you are trustworthy and they will have more confident in you and they too can learn from you. Not only can honesty benefit you but also others can benefit from it. When you show your honesty you will be influencing others and they too will learn that honesty is really important in life.

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the feat of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless if your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently

“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”

-Rosa Parks

I agree with this statement because I believe that when one does the right thing, they will never have to fear about the consequences they will receive. They won’t feel guilty and won’t have a guilty conscience either. When one chooses the right, they will sooner or later be awarded and there is nothing to fear about that. They would also have a happy and peaceful life. But when someone does something wrong they know they had done, so they fear about what might happen.
