Student Success Statement

“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”

-Davy Crockett

What this statement is saying is that you should go and do things that you know for sure are the right things to do. You first have to be certain that you are choosing the right, and once you are definitely sure, then you go on ahead and proceed with what you are going to do. An example would be that if someone offers you drugs you know that that is not right so you walk away. They may insist that you take some but you have to firmly respond that you don’t. They may want you to doubt yourself, but if you are certain that it’s wrong, then ignore them. They might call you names but it’s important that you know exactly what the right thing is in order for you to proceed.

“Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. There are the (3) magic keys to living your life with integrity.”

-W. Clement Stone

What this quote means that we should have the courage to not accept anything bad that is being offered to us. We should have the courage to face reality and doing what is right. By doing these, it will help us have a better life. There is no need to fall into the wrong paths, if you know something is tempting, the correct thing to do is say NO and walk away from it. For example, if you are hanging with friends and you are asked a cigarette, you must know that you shouldn’t take it. If you feel pressured, you should stand up to them and say No and just walk away. If they keep bugging you about it, you should have the courage to just walk away and ignore them if they don’t listen to you the first time.
