Sound & Good

“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound”

(not good) - Joseph Smith

What this quote is trying to tell us is that we should focus on being a CTR person because it will make it sound and look good. Our priority right now is to have an education and always make sure that we are good people choosing the right. If everyone know that choosing the right is a good thing then the next thing you know it will be a great influence to the younger ones. But if you choose the wrong then you will be going the wrong path and our goal here is to try to avoid all the bad. An example would be you’re a senior and you're trying to get into a good university. If you show them what you’re capable of I’m sure that they will accept you. But you do need to have good skills like academics, character, and communication skills. Be wise and always try your best to be a CTR person because it will bring success in your life.

Student Siccess Statement

“Only those live who do good”- Count Leo Tolstoy

What this quote is trying to tell us is that only those who do good will be able to live a better, longer life. It’s also sending us a message on why we should do good and what we get out of it. An example of this quote would be your a football player and you don’t care that your family isn’t with you at the moment but you do care about your victory. This tells us that you’re just being selfish which isn’t a good thing because you’re choosing the wrong. We need to be able to choose the right all the time so that we can live with a good conscience. If you decide to choose the wrong you’re only hurting yourself because you won’t be able to live a normal life when you can’t decide what is right for you. If you want to live a long, healthier life then you need to start choosing the right so you can make something out of your life. An advice from me to you is choose the right. 

                                           

To Do Good

“The best recreation is to do good.”- William Penn

What this quote is trying to tell us is that you should always do good in life no matter what because that is who we want to be known by. Another thing is that we can recreate ourselves by becoming a good person and try not to be the bad person we were back then. An example would be you go to the shoe store and it is very packed and there are some shoes you really want but they are expensive, so you decide to get some shoes that are less money. Once you arrived to the cashier you see someone else buying the shoes you wanted, but by an accident they mix the shoes once you have paid them. What should you do, go back and tell them or keep them to yourself? I believe that you should go back and return them because that will make you a good person even if  you don’t get nothing in return. By doing this you can recreate yourself to becoming a good person everyday in your life, which will make you be someone successful in life. One more thing is that, by doing good you can motivate yourself as well and also know the difference between bad and good. Be wise and always choose the right so you can be proud of yourself like other people would be of you.

A Good Name

"A good name is better than anything you can achieve in this life"- Mike Krzyzewski
    What this quote means is that you should always do good in life, be a CTR person so that everyone will know what kind of person you are. When you are a bad person then you have a bad name right in front of you because no one is going to want someone that doesn't achieve in life. Another thing is that we are not only only aiming to achieve our dreams and goals but we also want to be known for someone good because our names say it all. For example you want to work at a nice office, but when they see your record and realize you were a bad person during your teenage life. They are not going to want you because they make think "why do we want him here, he might just bring our business down". This is only by your name, and they still haven't even met you but you already showed the bad side of you without knowing if you have actually changed. We should always be doing good things in life because our name is the only thing that will matter to other people, they may be surprise that you actually achieved in life but all they want to know is what kind of person you became to be. (Kind, Helpful, CTR, Smart, etc...) Always choose the right and never stop doing that because we want a clean name throughou9t our life.
