Student Success STatement - 5/10/2018

"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating." - Sophicles 
This quote is a quote that quotes that it is better to lose  honestly than win dishonestly. I think that this quote is true, but how do we know if Sophicles actually said this? I often wonder about that with some of the quotes. This quote can be talking about almost anything, it could be talking about a race, a baseball game, basketball, a horse race, or a wrestling match. This quote can be used even when not talking about a sport or competition. The simple act of doing a test or your homework has opportunities to cheat because cheating can be done at any time and in any way. The idea that winning is the most important thing is false, the most important thing is being honest and letting the person that is truly the best, be the best and win without using things to enhance their performance. This quote demonstrates havign good values and how to accept that sometimes we dont win, but if we were honest and played fair, its not really losing since you gave it your all.

Student Success Statement

   "Only those live who do good."- Count Leo Tolstoy   This quote, in other words, is saying people that make bad choices don't live to their fullest potential and aren't happy. I partially disagree with this quote because not everyone that makes bad decisions are unhappy. Most people that live a bad life are miserable but very few do not live miserably. I know several people that use drugs, which in some peoples eyes is a bad choice, and they live a happy life, they are intelligent, and get good grades. Also, not everyone that makes bad choices understand why their choices are wrong so they don't even realize and don't feel guilty which helps them live a normal happy life. Another reason why i disagree with this is because many people i know live in discomfort and are unhappy even though they make good choices. For example, my mom. Throughout my moms life she has always chosen the right, she has never been disrespectful, she looked after for herself...
