"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer

an irriation; instead a stumbling block , it becomes 

a building block." 

James E. Faust

I really like an agree with this statement by James E. Faust. Obedience should be all of our goals in order to succeed in life. I think obedicence should be our most important goal to achieve. Sometimes we consider it as a stublimg block where we will fall and stumble. But obedience can be way more. It will become a building block to the pyrmaid of success. For example if we have obedience in our goals then we will not fail but rather pass with an excellent A.

"Obedience is the great test of life."

Thomas S. Monson

I really do agree with this statement because obedience is a test in life that can challenge you in someway. It can teach you a lesson like if you should try harder and listened more or you have complete it and mastered it. So it can be either a good or bad response in life. For example if you are not obedient then you have failed and not passed in life just like a test would. Obedience is either you pass it or fail it. Its the most important test in life.

"Obedience... is the primary object 

of all sound education." 

Elizabeth Missing Sewell 

I think the statment of Elizabeth Sewell is stating that obedience is the object of being responsible and respectful in having an education. With obedience you can have all the education you want and is the primary goal of it. I think if you have obedience then you are respectful and responsible. Education's sound must also include obedience. For example if we have obedience towards our peers and older people then we have the sound of education. 

                                                  

Student Success Statement 

"The more obedient we are, the more 

freedom we have." 

Bloyd K. Packer

I really agree with this statemnt by Bloyd Packer because it is true. When you are more obedient in life then what you will recieve is more freedom we aquire. I know this because of experience. For example if you listen to your parents and are obedient then they will vtrust you and give you more freedom to go out. 

Obedience

Obedience: compliance with an order, request, or law or submission to another's authority.

Words that mean the same-

·        Acquiescence

·        Conformity

·        Orderliness

·        Reverence

Examples of Obedience:

A solider that listens to the command of the general and does what he was told to do.

A child who listens to everything his parents tell him to do and he obeys it.

"Courage is being scared to death

and doing the right thing anyway." 

Chae Richardson 

i really enjoy reading this quote because its a really good one that identifies courage. Courage is doing the right thing always. Even if you are scared to death and being faced with something big but you do the right thing anyway. Doesnt matter if it is one of your biggest fears you have its what you do is the right thing. For example if you are in front of a lion that has you trapped some place, then you face your fears even if it can result in deathy, you do the right thing and you'll definitely have courage. 

                          

Student Success Statement 

"Act well your part; there all honor lies." 

Alexander Pope

I think this statement means when you do everything you need to do and do it right that is where you reccieve the Honor. In life you need to do your part and succeed in it so you can recieve the honor you need. Honor lies when you do what you need and act well in doing so. Acting well in your part is where all the honor lies. For example if you are a good, courages, and Respectful person you will end up being faced with honor. Honor is the thing you want in this world. 

                

Student Success Statement 

"I would prefer even to fail 

with honor than win by cheating".

Sophocles

I really like and agree with this statment by Sophocles. If you are cheating and you win deep down inside you are the one that looses. I would like to loose rather than cheat myself. Id rather win by knowing i put all my effort and my determination rather than cheating. If you loose with honor its similar than winning without cheating. Cheating is the wrong thing to do. For example lets say someone takes steriods before a game and ends up winning the game, hes a coward that wins but is cheating himeslf. He won with out honor and without that its nothing.

"Attitude is the mind's paintbrush.

it can color any situation." 

Anonymous

I think i do know what this quote is saying. With your attitude you are trying to paint something in life. Your attitude can color any situation you are in to be successful. You have to imagine your attitude as a paintbrush. It can paint either a dark picture of a joyful one. But in any situation you are in then it will help you color it. For example if you are in a basketball game and you loose the game you will have to have a good attitude in order to paint a nice portrait. 

                              

Student Success Statement 

"He who walks with the wise grows wise 

but a companion of fools suffers harm".

A Proverb

I really do agree with this quote because its a really good one and ive witnessed it before. Just cause somebody does something doesnt mean you have to do it. A lot of people do the same things there peers do. So when your in a group of friends that does not d ogood things then most likely you'll do bad things as well. If you hang out with the wise and the people who ctr the nyou will grow rise and successful. But when you walk with fools then you will suffer harm. For example if your group of friends do not do their homework and fail, then most likely you will do the same as well. 

                        

Student Success Statement 

"You cant hire someone else 

to do your push- ups for you." 

Jim Rohn

I think this quote by John Rohn means you cant let someone to do all the hard work for you in order to become a success in life. If you want to do something it has to come from you. Once you do it for yourself then the greatness is all for you. You cant let someone do things for you becaus ethen you'll be nothing in life. For example you can let someone do your homework for you but then you will loose the knowledge. You cant hire someone to make a positive impact on yourself it has to be you in order to do that.

"Kindness is the essence of

greatness" 

Joseph B. Wirthlin

I really agree with this quote by Joseph Wirthlin. Kindness is the most important aspect of greatness. I believ it is a stepping stone to achieving success. Greatness cannot be if you do not have or believe in kindness. Kindness is everything. Without greatnes then you will have failure and not greatnwess. For example if you are kind to someone then it will come back to you and you may achive greatness.

"Visualization-Imagination: What

You see is what you get"

Anonymous

I really like this quote and i can really relate to it. I really agree with the part as what you see is what you get. If you look at yourself in the mirror as a failure then that is what you are going to get. But, if you look at yourself as a graduating student then that is what you are going to get. Imagination is what helps you get the confidence you need. For example sometimes i look in the mirror and visualize a future NBA star or an artist.

"Manners maketh man."

William of Wykeham

The statement by William is a very short and straight out statement that sends out one important message. The quote is think its saying is that manners make up a man. The message is if you have manners than that will make you a real man. I really like this quote because it is a very straight forward quote that is true. Muscles or the way you act does not make you a man, rather the manners you have do. For example lets say there is a man with strength and another weak man with manners. The one that will be considered a man is the one with manners because that's way better than strength. I really like this quote. 

                                          

Student Success Statement 

Regarding Successful Living

"There is no giant step that 

does it. It's a lot of steps."

ANON

I really agree with this quote. Its true there is not such a thing as a big step towards something. It s a lot of steps that count to make you successful. The more stairs you encounter the most successful you are going to be. To be successful you have to challenge yourself to do whats best and complete it. For example if you want to become a professional basketball player you have to complete a lot of steps in order to get there. Its not just owe big step you take to get there but rather many steps. 

                      

Student Success Statement

"Right is Right, even if everyone is

against it; and wrong is wrong, even

if everyone is for it." 

William Penn

I can really relate to this statement by William Penn. Personally i think this is a perfect example for teenagers living in this environment. It could also conclude the fact that it has to do with peer pressure. When you know something is right then you do it. Ignore everybody else because at he end your going to be the mature one doing the right thing. When you know something is bad and people want to do it or even want you to do it then you ignore them and don't do it. Only you can choose to say no. For example if they tell you to smoke then you say no even if all your friends are up for it. 

                               

Student Success Statement 

Cowardice asks the question "Is it safe?"

Expediency asks the question "Is it politic?"

Vanity asks the question "Is it popular?" 

But, conscience asks the question, "Is it right?" 

And there comes a time when one must take a 

position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular,

but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 

I really like this statement by Martin Luther king Jr because it is very realistic and may match up with people in society today.Your conscience knows what is good and what is bad for you. When your conscience says it is the right thing, then you must take a chance and do it. Cowards ask the question is it safe but that wont get you anywhere, Expediency asks it is politic? That wont get you anywhere or help you choose the right. When your conscience says its right then it is and you should just go for it. For example if i wanna make a choice i know i can listen to my conscience to do the right thing because it will warn me. 

                 

Student Success Statement 

"Let us have faith that right makes right, and in 

that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty

as we understand it." 

Abraham Lincoln 

I Think the quote is trying to say that once we know we are doing right then we are doing the right and in the end we are going to be doing a nice duty. We need to have faith in order to know whats right and whats wrong. Led us to the end where we have done our duty of being a good person and doing right things. I really think this is what the statement means. For example in order to do good in our everyday lives then we need to have faith in what we do in order for it to be right. 

                    

Student Success Statement

"The reward for doing right is mostly 

an internal phenomenon: 

Self Respect, dignity, integrity, and self esteem."

Dr. Laura Schlessinger 

Doing what is right can of course be a phenomenon. I believe if you choose the right then you will always feel great about yourself. Self respect, dignity, integrity, and self esteem are what should get you to choose the right and feel good about yourself internally. When you have all those characteristics then you will be successful and have a phenomenon Life and fell good about your self in the inside. For example if you have self respect then you eill feel good about yourself and others as well.

"That which we persist in doing becomes

easier to do, not that the nature of the 

thing has changed but that our power 

to do has increased." 

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

I can really relate to this statement by Ralph Waldo Emerson because it is entirely true. If we put our self's in the test in order to accomplish something that is difficult then we will conquer it and become more successful. Its not that in nature it is hard to do so, but the power we put into it is what will make us accomplish the difficult task we are doing. If we want to do something that is very hard for us we have to but our effort and power into it. For example if you like baseball but it is difficult for you, then you put all your effort and power and eventually it will become easier for yourself.
