Student Success Statement

“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.”

Henry Ward Beecher

I think that this quote is meaning to say that you should always think of yourself in a way where you can always do better, you can always improve and you shouldn't excuse yourself as in you shouldn't ever let yourself slack off or give up. I do not completely agree with this statement because even though it is perfectly fine to always do your best and to reach for the stars, it should be known that it is healthy to give up or relax once in a while. I didn't say that it is okay to completely give up on everything, I just said to relax and take it easy once every blue moon or so.
