             Regarding Successful Living

“There is no giant step that does it. It’s a lot of little steps.”

                                      ANON

Reflection:

I think this quote means that you can’t reach a goal with just one step. It takes many more to do something great. For example let’s say you want to be a baseball player. You just can’t say “oh I’m a baseball player because I want to and because I say so.” No it doesn’t work that way. You have to take it step by step. You could play baseball every day. You could practice so you can become better at it. So what it basically means that if you want something work for it. And while you’re at it choose the right. Don’t let anything get in your way.

Student Success Statement

“Right is right, even if everyone us against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.”

                        William Penn

Reflection:

The quote means no one could ever change right to right or wrong to wrong. No matter what the right thing is always going to be the right thing. No matter how hard it is its always going to be that way. Same with wrong, wrong is wrong. You can’t change that. Even if you try and make it look right, it’s always going to be wrong. For example let’s say you needed money, and you steal money from your best friend. That is wrong! Even if you try to make up an excuses and say you really needed the money. Its not going to matter, its still wrong. So you can never change right to right and wrong to wrong. So just choose the right.
