Student Success Statement By Dan Dierdorf 

" If I got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I'm going to succeed."  

 

Dan Dierdorf was a well known basketball player and his only rule to success was to do things right. If you got a goal the only way you can achieve it is by making sure your goal is correct and pure. After that you just basically have your life all planned out because when you do good great things happen to you. If your goal was intervened by someone who wanted the goal more than you and you gave it up because you felt bad if the other person won and you didn't that just means that it wasn't meant to be. Some things in life are just the things we want and sometimes we do not end up getting it. We should value those moments because they move us into a different path that will eventually be the right path for us.  

 " Character Matters Most" Dale Murphy  

                                          

For the record, what you do in life will build up a reputation. Sometimes what others think of you does not matter unless you yourself believes it is true. You might think winning all the touchdowns or baskets matter a lot because you will be titled as the number one player, but when your character comes forth it can either be a good thing or a bad thing. When I first meet someone I always notice if they are rude or timid and usually when they are rude, I know not to be friends with them. That is because character defines your personality and if I was to be friends with someone who does not value character what would be the point. IF you were to cheat on a test or game your character debases from 100 to 0 real quick. ;) If you try to be committed to being a CTR person it is guaranteed that you will have a good character in life and be successful.
