Student Success Statement 

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing."

                               

                                                                  Theodore Roosevelt

I think sometimes this statement is true and other times it is not. For example, if your friend is being picked on by someone and you happen to be there, it isn't the right thing, but you may want to punch that person and it is something out of nature.

 "It may make a difference to all eternity whether                   we do right or wrong today."
                          James Freeman Clark
                                     

I think this means that if you do something wrong right now at this very, it may be something that will stick with and haunt you forever. Or it could be something right and it will always remind you of that time that good thing happened.

        "Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act                                       accordingly."

                                                    

I think you always have to ask yourself before you do something whether it is right or wrong.

             "Right is right only when entire."
                                Victor Hugo
                             
I think this means that if you are doing something the right way but then along the way you mess it up and end up choosing the wrong thing to do then it is no longer right because it was only right when you stayed on the right path but then as soon as you stepped on the wrong path you ruined it and now it is all wrong and not entirely right.

"You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right."

                     
                                       Thomas S. Monson

                              Summary 

If I were Patrick I would have listened to my parents and worn my shoes. Flip-Flops and shoes are obviously different from one another. Actually i wouldn't even have went out for a walk If I knew there were scorpions lingering around. That just sounds so painful and even more after he said he felt like he was gonna die. That is why we should always do what is right and listen. You don't necessarily have to get stung by a scorpion or other venomous creatures. It could be anything and if you make one wrong move it will cause you pain, for any life situation.

                   "If it is not right do not do it;
               if it is not true do not say it."
                         
                                                       Marcus Aurelius

I agree that if something is not right, you should not do it, just like if something is not true, just don't say it. I've been in situations when i get really frustrated because i know that someone is lying, yet they still go on with their little lies. I don't tell them that i know they're lying becuase i wanna see how far they'll keep going with this lie so i just play along. Sometimes i just wish they would tell the truth and not be playing their little games.

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing.”

                                    Chick Moorman

                                     

                     For example: Honesty and Victory

I think this quote means that if you lose or win in whatever it is, that the only thing that will matter is the correctness of it all and if you did things the right and fair way. For example if you do a test and you get 100% on it, but you like cheated on it then your good score doesn’t even matter because you won unfairly. But if you get a low score on the test but you studied and tried your hardest then at least you did the right thing.
