Student Success Statement: Pablo Picasso


                                         

                Student Success Statement
        “Action is the foundational key to all success”
                                    Pablo Picasso
Reflection: Action is honestly the only way we can succeed the things we want to do in life. If we take action to reach for what we want to do then it will come true. Success does not just come to us like our friends do everyday. We have to work hard for what we want to do. We have to work hard to make our dreams come true. We can’t just la around hoping. Hope is a good thing but it also takes faith, and faith is also an action. How do we expect to get better at things. Yea I know some people are born with natural talents but they have to keep working to keep that talent. Honestly if we do not take action we will not get anywhere in life. For example let’s say you are in the middle of a street and there was a car coming your way, what are you going to do? Stand there and let the car run you over or are you going to take action and move away? Action is what makes us successful. Not being lazy. Choose the right way in life and don’t except always do. Action is the key.

Student Success Statement: Japanese Proverd

                        Student Success Statement
“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.
                                           Japanese Proverb

Reflection: We don’t really expect our dreams to come true just naturally, we have to put action. For example you can be dreaming about being in a soccer team and making a goal but if you just sit there at home not practicing and not trying it’s just a daydream. Daydreams are dreams you have that don’t really come true unless you make them. But then there is action without vision. If we don’t even dream about becoming the person we are then it is a nightmare. Let’s say for some reason you became a lawyer but back then your vision was to become a doctor. It’s a nightmare for you because the one thing you will most likely say is “I wish.” Us as people need to put our actions and dreams together. We can’t sit around and except things to come to us because then there would be no meaning in life. We have to work and that’s just the way life is. We also have to make our dream come true and become what we want. You also can’t just take action and let it become a mess. Our actions and our visions matter. They are both something that really help us in life. Don’t just sit around dreaming of becoming something. Make it happen. Don’t make action until you are doing what your vision wants.
