“To be great—concentrate.”

Orson Sweet Mardin

Reflection: I agree with this statement because you can’t be great and accomplish all your goals if you don’t concentrate on them. When you concentrate on your goals you can actually achieve them so you can get on step higher to reaching the life of your dreams. If you don’t concentrate then you are just doing a sloppy job in accomplishing what you want but as long as you do concentrate you  can do anything to get what you need and want in life.

Student Success Statement

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

--------Calvin Coolidge, 3oth president of the United States-------

Reflection: I think for some reason this quote confused me in so many ways. I have no idea what this means. But what I do think it means is that Persistence is a unique characteristic that all great people should have. I think it means that no other characteristic is as important as persistence itself and with it anyone can find their true talent and use it to be successful in life.

“The Three Nevers”

Never Lie

Never cheat

Never steal

John Wooden

Reflection: I just think this statement is awesome and makes a lot of sense because people should really never do any of those things. I agree because doing those things will only bring bad consequences into your life.
