Student Success Statement
"You will become as great as your dominant aspiration (Goal)"
James Allen

No matter how big your goal is if you stay determined to it then that's how great you will become. This is what James Allen is trying to tell us in his statement. If your goal is a big and great, then you will become like that as well. I think the picture of the turtle trying to eat the strawberry is a perfect example of this statement. For example lets say your aspiration is to be one of the best baseball players to ever live. Then you become as great as the goal you have and you started with, The only thing is that you always have to stick with the goal you have. If you don't have a goal then you will not be as a great person you thought you were. In my opinion if you don't have a goal then you are not living life appropriately.

Student Success Statement
"Good thoughts bear good 
fruit. Bad thoughts bear bad fruit"
James Allen

The quote from James Allen states one big topic. Its saying basically if you think good then it will bring good things to you. But, if you think bad then you will bring yourself bad things. Just like the good fruit is sweet then your thoughts will be also. Bad fruits are sour , and sour is what might be the bad thoughts you bring to yourself. I agree with this because it is really true and i know that this has happened to everybody. For example if you think something positive in your mind then everything will be fine and its like your getting good fruit. But if you think negative then its like eating bad fruit. I like this statement and especially that its referring to fruit.
