Student Success Statement


“Our very business in life is not to get ahead of others…but to get ahead of ourselves.”

-Thomas S. Monson

Reflection:

I believe that this quote refers to losing that idea that we are competing with one another; that’s definitely not the case. We all live in a constant competition for what we want, who we want, due to envy, or hate. The most important thing, is concentrating on what concerns you. Be aware of the repercussions of our actions, and worry about yourself, not about others. No one is as important as you. Don’t prioritize what you want, based on what other people want.
