“I Trust that my hard work will pay off.”

-Tyler Haws

Brigham Young University

Basketball Player

Mormon Church Missionary

This quote is very inspiring to me , not only that but Tyler Haws story. He has faith and hope and puts god before anyone else. Tyler wasn’t one of the very best basket players as a young kid. He had to practice very hard to get to where he is now. He set goals for himself, he was cut off of a very good basketball team when he was in the third grade. That motivated him to work and practice harder on his skills to bring out the best of him. He would wake up early head to the church’s gym and practice. He started noticing improvements. He also left to his mission, Something that was very important to him. All of his hard work payed off. Having faith, not giving up , trying his hardest everyday led him to being BYU’s scoring leader of all time. Not giving up is very important. If someone brings you down, get back on your feet and show them that you are better. If you want something keep on practicing because little by little you’ll notice improvements and your hard work will pay off. All hard work pays off, not only in sports but academically as well or with whatever you want. You just have to keep on going and not give up at all.

The independence and freedom

“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.”

-Brigham Young

What this quote is trying to say is that you must gain what you want. Everyone wants to be independent and have freedom. This comes with earning your parents or others trust. If you want that you must not give up. Independence and freedom isn’t something that is handed to you easily, you must try your hardest to receive it. You can start off by thinking twice before you do something just to make sure you are making the right choice. Sometimes you might have those two things when doing the wrong but you won’t ever be happy and you really won’t go far in life because wrong can’t ever be seen as wrong. For example, my parents make me earn everything. By everything i mean that i have to earn their trust in order to get a little freedom and do good in school. I know they do that for my own good because they want the best for me and they want me to do what is right. The answer to being a successful person is choosing the right. Doing well in school, no copying. Everything takes a bit of effort but if you try you can go far in life and once you’re older have freedom and be proud of yourself and be independent. It’s all up to you because you have to make choices on your own, so always think of what you choose. Choose the right at all times, there is no other way.

The truly good

Student success statement

“They’re only truly great who are truly good.”

Goodness=Greatness

George Chapman

What this quote is trying to say is that those who choose to do what is right at all times are those who will achieve in life and they are great human beings. When you do good you will receive great things in life  because it shows that they know what they want, they don’t like being involved in bad things. They stay away from all the bad influences. Wouldn’t you want to be a truly great person or have people know you as that? That sure would be a great feeling and if you think about it, that doesn’t only help you but it also helps you those who need a little of motivation. You might be admired by others and they’ll be like damn i want to be like guy or girl. Little by little all your hard work will pay off. You set goals for yourself, that is a great way to follow what you want and also stay committed and don’t give up on your dreams and strive to be a really great person in life. Remember what matters the most is your character. Being great doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll have more than others. It means that you have a good personality and that you make the right choices. You seek for the long term happiness with no guilt at the end. Anything is possible and anyone can become a great person if they try. For example you must be good in school and also at home with your parents. It’s never to late to try and be a great person.

No Way

Student success statement

“Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in any sports than  a cheater. Don’t do it.”

-George Mitchell

What this quote is trying to say or make you think about is if some of the bad decisions are worth taking just to get away with something. Not everything will be handed to you. We all have to independent and work hard for what we want. Everything takes practice and we should reach our full potential. We should never give up or try to find an easy way out of everything. Maybe you might feel good for a moment if you choose to do what is wrong  but you’ll always carry guilt. For example let’s say there is a soccer game, the final one and you are a forward (usually the one that has to score) but you’ve been drinking lately,staying up and you don’t have the energy to play. Your “friend” offers you some steroids to be better for that day. You take them and impress people because they’ve never seen you be that good. After the game ends you start feeling bad and face side effects. They test you and you come out positive for using steroids and they take the cup from you team. Everyone feels really sad and don’t even want to speak to you. You become real sad and can’t feel nothing but ashamed. Do you really want this? Why not do the stuff the right way? If you want something fight or it, practice, set goals, you will make it but choose what is right.

CHEAT

“I won’t cheat”

-Dale Murphy

      This quote means that you can become successful and better without getting your way around things easily. You will eventually get caught and there will be really bad consequences. You can’t avoid the consequences, sooner or later you’ll have to face them. If you cheat you’ll never know what your full potential is. Cheating by using steroids has it’s side effects, it ruins your health. Not  cheating is something that will help you become better and stronger. This is really important because cheating can get you in really bad situations and you don’t want to be a part of. Getting caught will even lead you to going to jail for the rest of your life.  Why risk it? Even if it’s a competition don’t give up so easily. Losing does not mean you are a failure. It should motivate you . Every time you should try harder but don’t ever give and most importantly don’t consume drugs, or anything that can put your life at risk. Be honest, don’t cheat in any way. Educationally either. For example let’s say you copy in every class but then finals come and you don’t know anything. Then you start regretting everything. That is why it is best to make the right choices from the start.
