Student Success Statement

"Cowardice asks the question 'Is it safe?'

Expediency asks the question 'Is it politic?'

Vanity asks the question 'Is it popular?'

But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.

-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Reflection: I believe this statement is true. Coward people are afraid so they're always wondering if it's safe for them. If it's not they probably won't do it. Like trying to succeed, if they think it's better to just play it safe and not take a risk. Expediency think if it's inconvenient in any way, they're not gonna try or try to be immoral to get what they want, etc. Although, they know it's not right to be immoral in any way and have to do things the right and proper way. Vanity take pride in appearance and such things. If it isn't popular, they're going to stay away from it. If being a bum and doing drugs and such is cool, they'll do that. Instead of trying to succeed and do what's better for them and their future, they rather do what's popular. But, your conscience will always tell you what's right. Your conscience doesn't care whether what you wish to do is popular or not, it will tell you to do what's right. Always listen to your conscience because no matter the situation it will tell you to do what's right. Choose the right and listen to your conscience and you will succeed.
