“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”

Aristotle

I think that the reasoning behind this quote is that in order for education to be worth something, you have to have your heart in the lesson. Without having your heart in what you are learning then it is not of any importance to yourself.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

I wouldn’t want to be an environmental health specialist because I wouldn’t really want to specialize in a job where you have to deal with dirty situations. I am a bit of a germaphobe.

“CTR connects you to happiness and success-CTW disconnects.”

Mr. Haymore

What the quote is trying to say is that when you choose to do something right you gain happiness and success, and when you do something wrong you do not gain happiness and success. I agree with this quote. I do think that when you do things right you gain happiness and success. I also agree with doing something wrong means you do not gain any of these because I have plenty of experience in that department. I tend to procrastinate more than any human being alive. I procrastinate with all my schoolwork and even with things that I do for fun like my drawings or playing video games. I sometime try to push away drawing or playing because I’m too lazy or tired. I realize that by doing this I gain neither happiness nor success. I should learn to not procrastinate as much.

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

Alex Linares

What this quote is trying to say is that the right choice is always right. I mean, they do call it the right choice for a reason. Why would they call it the right choice if it was wrong? Obviously choosing the right will bring good things towards you and choosing the wrong will bring bad things towards. Let me give you a scenario where this quote would come in handy: One day you walk out of the grocery store and notice that your car’s tired have been slashed. You can either walk home, or hijack a car. Which is right and which is wrong, YOU DECIDE. But seriously, hijacking a car would result in a chain reaction where you would go to jail and become a bitter, terrible person while walking home would result in walking, just walking. I think I got off topic but you know what I mean.

Also I would think that to become an electroneurodiagnostic technologist you must have a passion for it and I do not have a passion for it.

Student Success Statement

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

ANON

This quote is self-explanatory because all it is trying to say is that it is worse to be with people who are a bad influence or a danger to you than to just be alone. It is better for you not to be with these people that could harm you or influence you in any negative way. If a person is friends with a group of people who aren’t doing any good to this person then they shouldn’t be friends with them at all. Sometimes this is hard to do, for various reasons. Sometimes being friends with someone who is a bad influence will give this person a sense of rebellion. Other times a person will have a fear or anxiety of finding new friends and will try to stay with the ones they already have. Either way, eventually they should realize the bad influence or potential harm and try to escape this.
