Student Success Statement

“Education is a marathon—not a sprint.”

-        Anon

This statement is saying that education is very important. You need education for many things, especially to find a job and have a successful life. You also need education to achieve all your goals. Like in a marathon it will take a lot of practice to be able to handle the marathon. A marathon or sprinting isn’t easy as it looks, it takes a lot of practice.

Student Success Statement

“Improvement begins with I.”

-ANON

This statement means that if you want to be successful it all starts with you and nobody else. Ignore all the negative people tell you and do what you believe because after it’s your life. An example is that if you know you’re not doing well in school and you want to change that. The first step to make an improvement is by realizing that you need to do better.

Student Success Statement

“The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door of failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is—‘I will form good habits and become their slaves.’ ”

-Og Mandino

This statement means that there is a difference between failure and success. If you have good habits then you will succeed and achieve everything you have set yourself too. But if you decide to make bad habits then you will not go far in life. You won’t have a good life like the people that made good habits. For example, if you are successful that means that you did good habits to get there.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 2

Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievements of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school-that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity—that you earned it with perfect honesty.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 1

(by Sean Covey but modified)

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignments, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the couch. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take the initiative.
