Student Success Statement

“What’s right isn’t always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right.”

Howard Cosell

 

There are many ways that this statement is true. For example, people smoke week or do drugs because it is fun or for whatever reason they have, but it is a wrong thing to do. The consummation of drugs has been gaining popularity over the years, but it is still viewed as wrong. As for people that don’t do drugs, they are the unpopular, “uncool” people and they are the ones that are actually doing what is right. Another example might be that of cussing or using bad words. This is really popular and can be seen everywhere in the media. This is thought of to be a normal popular thing when it is actually wrong. People who have not used bad or don’t use them at all get seen as not cool or unhip. This statement also goes along with the other quote, “Right is right, even if everyone is against it. Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it”.

“Seek to do good and you will find that happiness will run after you.”

James Freeman Clarke

 

I agree with this statement. When you start to do good, or seek to do it, then happiness will chase after you. When you do good, you feel happy, and when you do bad you feel bad. For example, if you do drugs then you will are doing bad things. Then bad feeling will chase after you. When you don’t do drugs and choose the right, then you don’t feel sick and the happiness will chase after you. Another example I can say is when you decide to help people. You will feel good and stay feeling good for a period of time. On the other hand, when you start to not help people and actually go against them, then you will see that bad things will start chasing you. When you chase after the good things, then good things will come back to chase you too. (:
