Student Success Statement

“I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and prosperity.”

-Robert E. Lee

Reflection: I agree with what Robert E. Lee has quoted. It is better to do the right even if it’s hard because afterwards you will get positive consequences. It’s better to do the right and suffer only a little than to do the wrong and suffer with those choices for a long time. It’s good to just do the right when you have the chance than to do nothing or than to do something wrong.

“If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”

Marcus Aurelius

Roman emperor from 161 AD to 180 AD

Reflection: I agree with what Marcus Aurelius has quoted. If you know something is wrong then why even doubt doing the right thing. If you know saying something would be negative or not true then you already know what is right and what is wrong. It shouldn't be so difficult for people to do and say the right things and yet people find it better to do something or say something wrong. Doing something always brings negative consequences towards you and even if you think you have escaped them, eventually you will realize that you haven’t after all. Same as when you say something not true, you think you get away with it but you haven’t. It doesn't even matter if what you want to say or do seems only a little wrong because if know there is at least something wrong with it just don’t do it.

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It’s impossible.”

Ezra T. Benson

Reflection: This statement is true because whenever you do something wrong there is always that feeling that makes you feel regret or makes you feel really bad. You might get what you want from doing wrong but you know that eventually you will feel bad for the bad consequences you have caused for yourself and others. If you choose to cheat on a test you will get and you will feel that regret that everyone else does. It is always better to do right so you can feel good about yourself everyday.
