Instructions Toward a Prosperous Career

Student Success Statement
“You will never be a winner if you lose your temper.”-Anonymous

What an insightful statement which allows me to evaluate my actions. The ability to control your emotions during a situation in which you must exhibit control such as an athletic event or an academic event. Your ability to control such emotions allows individuals to perceive you as a capable individual due to the fact that you do not allow your emotions to intervene within a certain situation. I am capable of controlling my emotions during a situation in which emotions can jeopardize your success, such as during a debate, i do not support my claim with irrational arguments,but rather with rational arguments. The inability to control your own temper represents a weakness which must be extinguished in order to succeed within life.

The Importance Associated With Persistence

  Student Success Statement
“Nothing in the world can take the place of PERSISTENCE.
TALENT: will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
GENIUS: will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
EDUCATION: will not; the world is full of uneducated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”- President Calvin Coolidge
What an insightful statement which allows us to understand the meaning of success. Every individual believes if you are not talented you cannot succeed, well what if you are unsuccessful and talented; talent does not assure anything, if you are talented and single-minded you will over-estimate your abilities, this over confidence will result in your failure. You failed because of your lack of persistence and determination. We must not view failure as bondage; we must view it as an opportunity which will allow us to learn from our mistakes. I once believed that if you know a vast amount of facts and can memorize entire pages you will be deemed a genius, this is a clear misconception. In order to succeed you must memorize such concepts, but you must also be able to apply what you have learned or memorized, if you are not able to do such things; then you clearly do not understand. A student who is determined to understand the concept, will memorize and learn to apply the concept, this persistence will provide him with success.
