Student Success Statement
“Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.”
Margaret Thatcher

This an amazing quote published by former British politician Margaret Thatcher. Discipline is difficult, but necessary for prosperity. For example, if you’re friends are going to go smoke by an alleyway and you know that smoking is atrocious and are tempted to do so just to follow the lead of your friends, but you have disciplined yourself to stay away from drugs and you do so then you will be compensated with pride, courageous self-esteem, and overall satisfaction that you will not regret anything. The “Highroad” is a metaphorical road which can be referred to as the ladder of success in where by doing the right and proper things and referring to your moral/ ethical codes when you are tempted to indulge in improper activities.

Walk the talk

Summary: In the beginning of the video the audience (my classmates and I) are presented with the words honesty, integrity, respect, and ethics. The video then presents a question what is the greatest human challenge? The answer according to the video is “living by our beliefs.” Then we are presented with the definitions to the words from the beginning of the video. The video is accompanied by music throughout its entire length.

Reflection: This video presented a proper topic and enlightened me. Many of us are stimulated by certain beliefs. Many great actions require effort and the wonderful words presented in the video are examples of what is required to prosper.
