Student Success Statement: William Penn

 Student Success Statement

“Right is right, even if everyone is against it. Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.”

-       William Penn

Reflection: William is trying to say that you can choose the right and people might not agree, but choosing the right is the best thing to do no matter what. It is like saying Choose The Right should always be a motto because even if something is wrong and many are choosing to do so, you don’t need to participate if it is a bad thing. Always Choose The Right.

50 habits of Successful People

(habits 44-47 )

44. They don’t rationalize failure. While many are talking about their age, their sore back, their lack of time, their poor genetics, their ‘bad luck’, their nasty boss and their lack of opportunities (all good reasons to fail), they are finding a way to succeed despite all their challenges.

45. They have an off switch. They know how to relax, enjoy what they have in their life and to have fun.

46. Their career is not their identity, it’s their job. It’s not who they are, it’s what they do.

47. They are more interested in effective than they are easy. While the majority look for the quickest, easiest way (the shortcut), they look for the course of action which will produce the best results over long term.

James Freeman Clark

Reflection: What James Freeman is trying to say is it’s up to us to choose the right. It is better choose the right because you will live better and feel more good about yourself. Although, it may not make difference to others, it might make a difference to you. So stick to what is right rather dong the wrong.

Reflection : Ian , the CTR kid.

Reflection: Ian was a child who lives by CTR. He demonstrated his good character when he gave a baseball from the major leagues to Nicolas. Nicolas caught the ball but dropped it, and Ian got it. Yet he was very excited he gave the ball back to little Ian who was very sad. Ian soon found out that Choosing The Right, gave him good fortune and good feelings inside.

“It’s not living that matters, but living rightly”

Socrates

Reflection:  What Socrates means is as long as you live choosing the right you’ll live long, rather than just living and not choosing the right. It’s better to live right because it will make you a better person and make your life better oppose to just living and being wrong.

32. They are generous and kind. They take pleasure and helping others achieve.

33. They are humble and they are happy to admit mistakes and to apologize. They are confident in their ability, but not arrogant. They are happy to learn from others. They are happy to make others look good rather than seek their own personal glory.

34. They are adaptable and embrace change, while the majority are creatures of comfort and habit. They are comfortable with, and embrace, the new and the unfamiliar.

35. They keep themselves in shape physically, not to be mistaken with training for the Olympics or being obsessed with their body. They understand the importance of being physically well. They are not all about looks, they are more concerned with function and health. Their body is not who they are, it’s where they live.

50 Habits of Successful People (21-30)

50 Habits of Successful People

(21-30)

21. They don’t believe in, or wait for fate, destiny, chance or luck to determine or shape their future. They believe in, and are committed to actively and consciously creating their own best life

22. While many people are reactive, they are proactive. They take action before they have to

23. They are more effective than most of managing their emotions. They feel like we all do but they are not slaves to their emotions.

24. They are good communicators and they consciously work at it.

25. They have a plan for their life and they work methodically at turning that plan into a reality. Their life is not a clumsy series of unplanned events and outcomes.

26. Their desire to be exceptional means that they typically do things that most won’t. They become exceptional by choice. We’re all faced with life-shaping decisions almost daily. Successful people make the decisions that most won’t and don’t.

27. While many people are pleasure junkies and avoid pain and discomfort at all costs, successful people understand the value and benefits of working through the tough stuff and most would avoid.

28. They have identified their core values (what is important to them) and they do their best to live a life which is reflective of those values.

29. They have balance. While they may be financially successful, they know that the terms money and success are not interchangeable. They understand that people who are successful on a financial level only, are not successful at all. Unfortunately we live in a society which teaches that money equals success. Like many other things, money is a tool. It’s certainly not a bad thing but ultimately; it’s just another resource. Unfortunately, too many people worship it.

30. They understand that importance of discipline and self-control. They are strong. They are happy to take the road less travelled.
