Student Success Statement
"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."
B.C. Forbes
You shouldn't just be honest to avoid criminal and illegal acts but to be morally right all the time. If you are then you'll feel good about yourself.

Student Success Statement
"Stop worrying about whether you're going to win or lose and focus your your full attention on whats's happening right this moment."
Phil Jackson

If you focus more on doing good you'll end up doing bad because your focusing more on the end result not how to obtain it.

Time Management
8 of 10
Master the moments and you may be real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time-classes, homework and activities – with some family help. Colleges give you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking, you might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produces while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, "Wherever you are, be there." Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don't let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can't go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Wok smart by mastering the present moment.
