Student Success Statement
“If it us not right, do not do it; if it is not true,
do not say it.”
-Marcus Aurelius
Reflection
Marcus answers the question of what should be done and
what should be said. We shall always do what is right and speak only the truth.
I definitely agree with Aurelius. Is whatever you have in mind is not right, do
not it. If what you have in mind to say is not true, do not say it. I believe this
quote is a simple way to say what we shall not do to keep a pure heart. For example,
if you walk into class late, and you were thinking of lying, tell the truth. The
truth is always right. There is no need to lie, or to lie to you. If you were
thinking of ditching school, but you know that it is wrong because you will
miss the material of the whole day, then don’t do it. Choose the right. Don’t chose
to do something when you know it is wrong.
