Student Success Statement

The answers to these questions willl determine your success or failure:
  1. Can people trust me to do what's right?
  2. Am I committed to doing my very best?
  3. Do I treat others the way i want to be treated?
                                                                  - Lou Holtz
Reflection: This reflection is very powerful since Holtz asks you truly important questions that can determine whether you will succeed or whether you will fail. He asks you questions that serve as guides to someone who wants to succeed, he asks if people can trust you to do what is right, and that of course represents trustworthiness and unless others trust you, chances are you will not succeed. The second question Holtz asks is on doing your very best and if you are committed to doing so, because if you only go for basic or strive for average you will not succeed and stay at the bottom, while those who are committed to being the best are those who will reach the top and truly succeed. His final question asks if you are fair and treat others how you want to be treated, and that is very important because you have to treat others how you want to be treated, if you don’t treat others the same you won’t receive the same respect and you will be lead into failure.
