A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

A Choice: Poverty or Prosperity

“I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.”

Dr. Ben Carson

I believe that this quote by Ben Carson is true for example a parent who has children is in poverty I bet they hate it cause they can’t provide money to buy their children food or maybe to pay for an education but if they work hard they can change it for themselves and their children.

Student Success Statement

“You can’t be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right.”

Thomas S. Monson

I believe that this quote by Thomas S. Monson is right because it isn’t right when you do something wrong for example when you hurt someone it isn’t right for you to go up to someone and hurt them. But you can’t be wrong by doing something right for example when you stick up for someone your friend is bullying it’s not wrong to stick up against your friends for what is right.

Student Success Statement

“Enthusiasm makes the difference.”

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

I believe this quote by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale is true enthusiasm does make the difference because when you are enthusiastic about something you love it and it inspires to do better at what you are doing but when there is no enthusiasm you don’t care about how you do it and what you’re doing cause you don’t want to be there you just want to get it over with.
