Student Success Statement
"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, and fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."
-B.C Forbes

What I think this quote means is that honesty is a very important characteristic trait to have. It can make you a good or bad person. In the end being honest pays off.

Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade secrets. How can you work at honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.

Student Success Statement 71

“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.”

What I think this quote means is that that you should stay focus about what is occurring in this instant instead or what’s going to happen later. Don’t worry about the future. Also choose the right.

Time Management 8 of 10

Time Management
8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time—classes, homework and activities—with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.
          Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!

Attention to Detail
7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.
          John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.
          Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.
