Student Success Statement

“Righteous community unity starts with ONE upright soul, whether it is a community of family members, students, neighbors, teammates, or business associates. Unity conquers worthy pursuits more quickly and with less effort than individual effort alone.”

Mr. Haymore

I think that this quote means it is better to have unity than to work alone. I agree with this quote, it is better to be unified than to be segregated or alone. When you are in a unified environment, things will be easier than they would if you were to be alone. With unity you have people who care about you and people who you care about. You will never have to face anything alone ever again with a community that is unified.

“Work as a team to achieve your dream”

Sarah Real

This quote is saying that in order to achieve your goals, it is wise to ask for help from friends or family. When you want to achieve your goals and you don’t have any help then it might be more difficult to accomplish than when you have help. Usually you should look for help from people that want to help you and you know will help you.

“You will become as great your dominant aspiration (goal).”

James Allen

I think that this quote means that you will only become as strong or powerful as what you want to become or do. I think this is a pretty clever quote because it says that in order to become something big and mighty, you have to have big and mighty dreams. Or in order to become happy and successful you must have happy and successful dreams.

What is The Strangest Secret in The World?

“We become what we think about.”

Earl Nightingale

First off, I would like to say something that has been bothering me since I’ve seen the title. The title “What is the Strangest Secret in The World?” is really getting me bothered because if it is a secret, then we are not supposed to be told what it is because then it wouldn’t be a secret anymore. Anyways with that said, I completely agree with the quote. I believe that someone who thinks about misery will only receive misery and someone who thinks about happiness will gain happiness. If you have this state of mind about yourself or your life, it is destined to materialize. This isn’t always true towards an aspect of your life that you are not completely in control of, for example if you constantly think about gaining millions of dollars you may not be destined to become a millionaire, it is possible but it is not certain. Obviously this doesn’t work with thoughts such as growing wings, or gaining superpowers, or achieving immortality. But I believe if you truly set your mind upon something, it will most likely happen because you want it to happen and you will try and try to make it happen, and eventually it might.

“Good thoughts bear good fruit. Bad thoughts bear bad fruit.”

James Allen

This quote is using a metaphor, comparing fruit to actions or consequences.  When you think about something negative your actions will be negative. When you have negative thoughts and commit negative actions, you will receive negative consequences. If your thoughts are positive, however, you will receive positive actions and consequences. So you should always think positive and then good things will happen to you.
