"I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and i can change that (poverty). It depends on how hard i want to work, and i decided that i would change it." Dr. Ben Carson

People can make the decision of either failing in life or succeeding in life. They have the choice whether to do good or bad. Education is the key to be anything you want in life. Without education no one would have careers. Poverty is something you decide to have, because if you decide to make the wrong decisions its like you are choosing what is bad for you. MAking good decisions will make you a successful person in life that will be able to achieve anything they want. No one could stop you from doing what you want other than yourself, because if you really want it you would do anything in your hands to get what you are looking for. Education is the main focus, because education is what gets you to be a person with value. You could not be valued if you are not educated.

"You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right." - Thomas S. Monson
When you do something that is wrong not everything always goes right. You can't think that what is right is wrong because obviously it is not. You will always have in your conscious that what you did was not correct. You cannot get rid of that thought. That is why choosing the right is always best.

"Enthusiasm makes the difference." Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Having Enthusiasm pushes you to do stuff you wouldn't do if you were always dull and depressed. It is important to be happy and confident with yourself to achieve anything you put yourself up to. For example, passing your classes with good grades. If you believe in yourself to get good grades you will achieve it,but if not you will get nowhere due to the negative attitude you have. When people have enthusiasm they are energetic, and full of ideas/thoughts that could help them out through their journey. When you lack interest is when you start to close doors on your self. When you lose confidence and energy to continue what you are working on is when you mess up. Enthusiasm is an important role that should be part of anything you want to achieve. Without it their is no fun, no movement to where you are reaching for. Progress is due to your attitude and how cognizant you are on what you must do to move forward.Moving forward it is not just about smart you are.

"I wasn't even trying to leave Legacy. I was trying to do what was right." - Dean Smith

What Dean Smith is saying here is that he was just trying to make his team better, do what was right and move on. He wasnt even focusing on trying to leave Legacy, because that is not what matterd. What mattered the most was doing what was right and recieving what you actually deserved.

                                                           Karma will take care of itself
                                                             Student Success Statement
" It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma (destiny, fortune, goodluck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you." - Dr. Randy Pausch

Living life the right way leads to being able to achieve your dreams. Living your life the wrong way only brings you bad karma which prevents you from achieving your goals. It is important to not only go towards your goals but go towards how you live your life in general. The reason for this is because not living your life the correct way will bring you obstacles and closed doors. For example, a person who makes bad choices and whose life is a total mess might not be able to work towards or achieve a goal because of all the bad habits and mistakes he/she has done. Your destiny is based on only your actions, and the choices you decide to make. Only you can prevent yourself from achieving anything you want, and that is by making the wrong choices. If you lead your life the right way you can achieve your dreams. The dreams will come to you if you make good choices for yourself and always do the right things that you know are correct. Karma comes back.

"Of all the work that is done for our country, the greatest is that of educating the BODY, the MIND, and above all CHARACTER, giving spiritual and moral training to those who in a few years are themselves to decide the destinies of the nation." - Theodore Roosevelt

What this quote is making you understand is that the body, mind, and character all go together. If you do not have one or the other it will affect you. If you have a bad mind it affects your character which affects your body which is affecting you. You have to make the decision to either educate all those three things or not. Having moral and spiritual training is important. Without these three things it can affect you in a way.
