Student success statement(Thomas Carlyle)



Student success statement
“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”
Thomas Carlyle, by Elliott & Fry, circa 1865 - NPG Ax28576 ...Thomas Carlyle
What I think this quote means is that if a man doesn’t set a goal to himself he won’t get anywhere. Also, if a man doesn’t have goals and he has a family where would he be leading his family if he doesn’t know what to do with his life. A man’s goal is very valuable because he is the mean head in his family and without a goal he isn’t anything. A ship without a rudder means that if the ship doesn’t have the rudder the boat would just sit there and do nothing. It won’t move any direction because it needs the rudder to move it side to side. It need that to lead it to the right direction and without that it can crash and there will no longer be a ship.

student success statement (Chinese proverb )



Student success statement
“Beautiful character”
If there is beauty in character, there will be harmony in the home.
There will be order in the nation,
If there is order in the nation,
 There will be peace in the world.
Conclusion:
If there is beauty in character,
There will be peace in the world

-        Chinese proverb
I strongly agree with this statement due to the fact that when there is good there is always something attached to it. Let me break the quote down to help understand. It says that if there is beauty in character than there will also be something good at home. Also if the nation is will being and there is no bad in the streets than as well as the nation being in order the world will be in peace. You cannot have the world in peace if there are disasters in the world people can’t live in peace like that. if the nation is strongly united and there is peace than the world should be in peace and therefore there shouldn’t be any violence. I believe that this is a good quote because like I said when you do one thing everything falls in order

Student Success Statement(-Sophocles)



Student Success Statement
“I would even prefer to fail with honor than win with cheating.”

Image result for Sophocles                    -Sophocles
I strongly agree with this quote because I would do the same. I would prefer to fail than to cheat because cheating in life won’t get you anywhere. What about perhaps you have to do your finals you wouldn’t know what to do because all the time all you have been doing is cheating. cheating is not a very good thing to do because as well let’s say a teacher asks you a question or they make you sit alone while taking a test what are you going to possibly do you can’t cheat because no one is around you. Cheating isn’t also good because you don’t know if they have the right answer. Lastly there are many ways of cheating also if you take out your phone and look for the questions in the internet they also might be wring you can’t really trust the internet because people write whatever comes t there mind. So don’t be a cheater is better for you to study at least 30 min a day so you can know what to do then cheat. just think what about you get a job and they ask you to either multiply divide to fractions and so on of course you won’t know what to do. Why because all your life you deiced to cheat.
