Student Success Statement
“A CTR champion is a person
who makes a great human out of himself”
Noemi Trigueros
(HPHS Student 2010-2011)
Reflection: This
former student, just means if you want to be a CTR champion, just choose the
right wherever you go. Be the best type of person you can be, to be perceived
as great due to all the choices you make. Always choose the right, and you
will be a CTR champion.

The body is related to the breath, and the breath is
related to the mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all function together
as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of the living
and being requires an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world
and the relationships within oneself.
All human beings have inner
potentials, but many people are not aware of those potentials and do not know
how to use them to have a successful life. Those who are not happy internally
can never be happy externally; those who are not happy within themselves can
never make others happy. Those who do not love themselves can never love
others.

the harmful effects of smoking!!
the harmful effects
of smoking!!
Would you let one
thing rule your life? Smoking is one of the worst things you can do in youre
life. Many people still do it, it kills many people all over the world every day.
Would you be able to tell someone to quit? To be the person to put your foot
down because you care? That’s
what everyone needs to do, smoking is a horrible habit.
Would you let someone
you love slowly kill themselves with cigarettes?
1. You can kill people you care about, because
smoking can cause people with asthma to die.
2. It
stops the heart, one out of five deaths due to smokers.
3. Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to
die. The strain of smoking effects on the body often causes years of suffering.
4. Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar
in tobacco smoke, and various types of other cancers.
5. One in two lifetime smokers will die from
their habit, half of these deaths will occur in middle age.
6. Some smokers end up having their limbs amputated.
7. Cigarette smoking during pregnancy increases
the risk of prematurity and spontaneous abortion.
In
conclusion, anyone reading this who smokes be aware of what you’re doing to
your body.

Everyone wants to be successful in
life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for
those keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we
begin to examine life, we can see that it is divided into two aspects -- life within
and life without; internal life and external life -- and we can see that these
aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone far
away from civilization, and live in the wilderness doing nothing but
meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we eat,
do our ablutions, and perform our practices on time. So life in the external
world is as important as life in the internal world. Even one who has renounced
the world has to understand the world has to understand the word relationship
properly, because life itself is actually relationship.

If we are to succeed in life, we must hone our
learning skills.
1-
The first step in this direction is to sincerely point
out the driving force or motivation. Let’s relax, and start listing the reasons
that impel you to study some topic, as crude as they may be. It’s possible that
your list is empty. Don’t worry, it only means that you have not identified any reason to
study the chosen
and very specific point
(It’s
for sure that you are an excellent learner in other areas of life.) If you don’t
have any motivation to study, then give me the list of reasons why you don’t want to study, and please note
that this list cannot be empty. Whether you found a huge list of driving forces
or a list of reasons for not studying, the end product of this step comprises
at least one item (a positive or negative driving force

We humans are innate learners, as learning is the cornerstone for
survival. We must remember, abstract and apply knowledge in diverse (and often
harsh) environments in order to develop into and behave as truly intelligent
beings. In short, the adaptability and resilience we exhibit stems from
learning. Now, a key issue to learning is the driving force behind it, i.e.,
the motivation or stimuli to learn. We can learn because of fear (we want to
learn how to protect ourselves from danger.) We can learn just out of curiosity
(our natural inquisitive behavior.) We can learn because we want to reach some
social status (approval of others is a potent stimuli to learn.) We can learn
simply because we love to learn new things every day. There are plenty of
reasons to learn and yours may easily be a mixture of these. Health and money
are important things in life, but learning is the base for using them wisely.
