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.  

Student Success Statement By Theodore Roosevelt 

" In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."  

  

Do you ever have those times where you have to make a difficult decision between the right or what you think is right. Imagine you are at the store and you are really craving some Ferraro Chocolate. Trust me I've been in this situation. Imagine making the decision of buying the chocolate or buying what your mother told you to buy for example bananas. You might spend 30 minutes thinking about how to buy both of the items of just buy the chocolate and tell your mom there was no bananas. Even though you will pay her back for the chocolate it is not the right thing to do because what if she really needed the bananas to make that cake for this one occasion. This is where this statement applies and will apply for any other situation between right or wrong. Sometimes my temptations win over what is right and that brings me no good so every time I'm in this issue I think about how there is always a tomorrow and I can get what I want the next day if I do get a tomorrow. There is no right in trying to steal something because you can't get it the right way. Why steal what you want and feel bitter than buy it with integrity and make it taste twice as better than it was.
