By~Philip Riggs’ Four Success Tips

“ Work hard,follow your passions do things you are interested in doing,don't chase after, and serve others do good things for others and good things will come to you.”

Reflection~

These success tips are the best ones due to the reason that if you follow them they will lead you into choosing the right your whole entire life.Working hard will really guarantee you a bright future because your hard work will always pay off. Following your passions will make a great successful person because once you set a goal you are committed to accomplish it and accomplishing a goal is another way of making the best out of your life.When you choose to help others the help you will later need will come towards you. Since you helped others you will get paid back with the same or even better things. An example, of the tip “Work hard” that I have done is making it to the Gold List in school for my grades. For this goal; I had to overcome many obstacles in order to make my way to the gold list. Some of the obstacles I had to overcome were staying up late just to finish homework assignments, study for tests, and working on projects. I was able to proudly work hard and my hard work really paid off. Another example is that when you set a goal you want to accomplish you go for it and in my life the person who I admire is my mother she proved to me that when you set a goal in your life you should never give up. My mother went to school and studied to become a CNA and she finished school, graduated, and earned her state license as a CNA. She passed both exams and her hard work also paid off. I was really proud of her. Now she is working at a Home Care Center for the elderly. She loves what she does. Since that day she really has motivated me to go farther in my life. It is important to chase your dreams especially those you really want accomplish. Chasing dreams is amazing when you can accomplish them.

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing”- Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection~This quote means that when doing anything in your life and you might not be sure whether to choose the right over the wrong it will always be the best to choose the right over the wrong. It does not matter what it is but just make sure you choose the right thing specifically. For example, if you are in a peer pressure in where a friend offers you drugs but you're debating you should always choose the right. In this case the best thing to do is the right thing which is saying “no” to the drugs. Even if your friends tell you things like your a “coward” for not taking the drug that does not mean you are. You are really just a wise person who chooses the right and knows what is good from bad.Another example is when you find something that does not belong to you so you decide to give it back to the owner that is choosing the right which is the best thing you can ever do. Because you will feel proud and so will the owner. When you do good things you will always feel good about it. And when you do bad you will always feel bad about yourself. You should always remember to choose the right even when it is hard to. When you do good things there will never be a regret for them. Doing good things will only benefit your life.

Quote: “Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

By: Wilford Woodcraft

Reflection~ This quote deeply means that when you do something that is not right nothing good will ever come out of it. When you do bad things they won’t help you they will just hurt you and your life. Nothing benefiting you will ever come out of a bad action you once made. For example I can make a real-world connection to my cousin who chose the wrong path and is now in juvenile for about seven to eight months. He decided to take the path his friends took and now he has to pay with time.He did extremely bad things like robbed cars, he violated the rules that his probation officer gave him and now he has to payback and learn a big lesson. For him like the quote says nothing came out of doing bad, not one positive thing because now he is in jail. My cousin is expected to follow the rules. Before he went in I always reminded him to be good and to never get into trouble because it was not going to get him anywhere but into jail. He never took my advice since he ended up in jail. A bad thing will always result from your bad actions. This example connects to the quote because nothing good resulted from my cousin’s bad actions. I hope he realizes that a life in back of bars with no way out is not the greatest life you can ever have. I also hope he does learn his lesson and changes for the better. In this world it is never too late for anyone to make a change. Everyday is a new chance and a very new beginning. I have faith in me that he will change for a positive life.

“It’s a GREAT MOMENT  when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time” -Pam Knox

Reflection~ This quote means that the best thing in this world someone can do when they are making an action is the right thing. In this world us humans make our decisions but it is the best ones when they are the right ones.For example, If I am walking to the market and I see a lady drop her groceries I will choose the right and help her pick them up. The world will become a better place if us humans kept doing what was right. I know that the lovely lady would appreciate that if i did it. When I make these choices they are the best ones because making these choices will help me grow and build relationships of any kind. I will be a better person inside and out. Making the right moves and choices only will be the best fro my life.I know the only way to be happy in this world with no issues is choosing the right at any given time, We only have one life but one is enough to be a good person with great characteristics.

Student Success Statement~

“I have been asked what I mean by “word of honor.” I will tell you. Place me behind prison walls—walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground—there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first.”

By― Karl G. Maeser

Reflection~ This quote means that your choices will reflect your word of honor. The things you decide to do will let others know your true colors. This quote also means that what you chose to say or do should always be within you , you should not have to blame others for your mistakes in your life that you have made. Because blaming it on another person when you were the one who did it will only hurt you and your word of honor. Blaming others is not a good thing to do because itll make you feel bad about yourself.It is like putting your life in danger from the start for example doing drugs once you begin and can't stop it will then become an addiction to the point in your life where you can’t stop. This will cause you to hurt yourself and it can cost you your life. This example best fits with Maeser’s quote because once you do drugs it’ll be hard to leave those drugs. This example connects with his quote because like he said about prison once you do bad actions and have to face the consequences things will change. Everything changes in your life with one mistake you choose to make. Learn to be wise and make good choices. If you do so your life would be better. If you do bad things you will not make it out of all those bad consequences. It is never to late for a change in your life, everyone does make mistakes but we all learn at the end.We learn a lesson that should help us stay focused and choose the right next time.It is better to live life in a good way other than a bad way. Lifes great when you are a good person and choose the right.
