Student Success Statement By Thomas S. Monson 

"Dare to Stand Alone." 

 

As we grow older one of the thing we must realize is that no one ever keeps the same friends. Situations happen that make us or other drift away. And it is okay because sometimes we are the only thing we have left. Standing  up for what is right requires us to lose some people in our lives but gain millions when it comes to choosing the right.  The only thing you should remember is to not be afraid to stand alone because standing alone against thousands shows the power you hold within yourself. It is much more scary to stand with others who are wrong and do not have a future ahead of them then with someone who is simply looking at a crystal clear future. As Thomas said you should DARE to stand alone because not everyone can. Personally I am terrified to be alone but I prefer 100 x more to stand up for myself in a situations that requires me to choose the right.  

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.
