“Education is a marathon—not a sprint”

-Anon

I agree with this statement. You should take your education as if it were a marathon. You need to pace yourself and know your limits and keep a steady pace to achieve success. You shouldn’t treat it as if it were a sprint. If you did that then, you wouldn’t learn as much and just rush through it. For example, if you rush through instructions, then you will not be able to do it as well as to if you do take your time, then you will do it better. Keep a steady pace to achieve success.

“Gold medals don’t make champions… hard work does.”

Anon

I agree with this statement. Gold medals aren’t what make anybody champions, it’s the hard work and effort they put into it. A gold medal is just a symbol saying you accomplished something and here is my proof of hard work. Everyone is a champion, no matter what you are actually doing. Your hard work and determination are what is key to making you a champion and without it, you wouldn’t be getting a gold medal, not any medal at all actually. For example, if you graduate high school, it’ll be because of your hard work, and the diploma just says that you did it. If you didn’t graduate, you still tried to do so and had a lot of hard work. You still are a champion, just that you never received your gold medal, in this case a diploma.

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

ANON

I think that this statement is true. You are better off being alone than being with a bad company. Bad company meaning that they are people who Choose The Wrong. You’d be better off alone because you won’t be doing any of the bad things that they are doing like drugs or alcohol. You’ll be safe and sound alone or maybe with others who Choose The Right. One example of this might be if you are hanging out with a group of friends at a party and they ask you if you want to smoke. You make the decision to leave the group and be alone. This is better, not only are you Choosing the Right by saying no, but you are improving your health and habits by doing so. You would be better off alone than with them.

“Keep your eyes on the prize”

ANON

There are many different things that this statement could mean. For example, to me, the prize is graduating high school and passing all my classes with a good grade. I just have to have that fixed mind-set that I will do it. There are also many other things it could mean, but it really varies how you use it in context or it depends on the person. When you focus in on the prize, you know that you will accomplish your goal to get it. It all comes down to you though, either you really want the prize, or you don’t.

“You make your habits and your habits make you.”

ANON

I agree with this statement. You are the person that makes the habits of things they decide where you go. Since you made them, they shape how you are. Say if you have a habit of choosing the wrong, then that habit will continue to progress and it will make you into a bad person. If you make the habit of choosing the right then you will be the person that always is good and pure. You make your own habits and they can shape you.

“There is no set path, just follow your heart.”

Anon

 

I agree with this statement. There is no set path which means that your choices determine you future destiny. If you make bad choices in life then you will be following the bad path in life and if you make the right choices then you will be following the right path. It all depends on what your heart tells you. Your heart will know what is right and wrong for you and depending on who you are then that will determine what path you take. Just follow your heart. (:

“You will never regret doing what’s right.”

Anon

I think that this is true. You will never regret doing what you think is right. When you CTR, you feel really good and warm inside. You know in your mind that you did something good and therefor you don’t regret what you did. On the other hand when you CTW you feel bad, guilt, and melancholy for what you did. That is why many people regret doing what they think was wrong. When people regret, that’s when you can tell that they didn’t do what was right. If people don’t regret, then you can tell they actually did what was right.
