Student Success Statement: B.C. Forbes

Student Success Statement

“Honest is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both actions and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”

B.C. Forbes

Reflection: Well I believe that yes honesty is important but there are many other things more important. You can’t always be honest because it’s sometimes very rude. You have to tell a lie here and there and it’s okay because well we are all human. We lie, we cheat, and it’s in our nature. Leave it to be. Don’t base everything on doing what someone tells you to do. You need your own backbone and to be someone you want to be.

Time Management 8-10

Time Management

8-10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time – classes, homework and activities – with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.”  Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.
