Student Success Statement

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

-Liane Cordes

Reflection

It does not matter how smart one may be or the countless opportunities one is given that will expose their potential. Effort takes you way farther than any strength. What is intelligence good for it you are not challenged into improving and doing your part by putting effort? It is only when one puts effort into everything they do is when they can realize their true potential.  An example of this would be that one may be the smartest kid in a high school campus but if they don’t constantly put effort into school they won’t ever know what their potential is and won’t get very far. It is a good brain thrown to waste.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew them. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self-sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life – body, mind, heart, and soul.

1)    Body, Ear wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.

2)    Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk”.
