“Attitude is the minds paintbrush. It can color any situation.”

-Anonymous

What this quote means is that your attitude can “paint” your surroundings. Or in other words, your attitude reflects you and your area. If you have a positive attitude then your surrounding area will seem more cheerful and happy. But if you have a negative attitude your surrounding area will seem more troubling.

“Visualization—Imagination: What you see is what you get”

-Anonymous

What this quote means is that what you envision in your head/mind is what you’ll get in real life. For example if you envision yourself running a marathon, then in real life you’ll strive towards that goal even more. Envisioning something can help you accomplish it.

Student Success Statement

“You’ll never be a winner if you lose your temper.”

-Anonymous

What this quote means is that you can never win at anything if you get mad easily. You need to keep a positive attitude in order to help you win in a sport or competition. Having a negative attitude can have a negative effect on you and your game. Remember to control your temper and to think positive.

Student Success Statement

“There is no giant step that does it. It’s a lot of little steps.”

-Anonymous

I think this quote means that when you’re trying to complete a task or goal you won’t complete it in one try/step. It will take many try/steps for you to truly complete it. Like another saying goes “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, you won’t complete your task in a day either. 

Student Success Statement

“The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves.”

-Anonymous

What I think this quote is saying is your only competitor in life should be yourself. Don’t try to do better than some other person, try to do better than yourself. If you get a good score on a test aim to get a higher score and so on, and so on. You should only compete with yourself.

Student Success Statement

“Together Everyone Achieves More.”

-Anonymous

What this quote is saying is that in order to achieve your goal you need teamwork. Because one person can’t do everything by themselves. They need help from friends, family, neighbors, etc. The more people you have helping you the faster you will achieve your goal.

Student Success Statement

“Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers. Or you can grow weeds.”

-Anonymous

What this quote is basically saying is that you can control what you’ll be when you’re older. All you have to do is think about your goal, and not think about anything bad. Because if you think about bad stuff that’s what you’ll end up being, a bad person. But if you think about good stuff you'll be a good person. Basically you are what you think.

Student Success Statement

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

-Anonymous

What this quote is saying is that instead of hanging out with people who are bad and will have a bad influence on you, you should just be alone. What’s the point of hanging out with someone who all he/she does are bad things. This will just have a bad influence on you and can ruin your future.

Student Success Statement

“I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it; for I shall never pass this way again.”

-Anon.

What this person is basically saying is that you only have one life, and in this one life you should make the most of it by helping or being kind to others when you get the chance. You shouldn't ignore your chance to be kind to anyone because you will never get another life/chance.
