Student Success Statement: Henry David Thoreau

“ Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” -Henry David Thoreau
   This quote means that goodness is the best investment because your risk isn't great. If you do good then good will come your way. You won’t be at a great risk because you will only get good in return nothing bad. If you do bad then bad will come your way. You will be at great risk because you will never know what to expect to be coming your way but it will most likely not be good. This is why the best investment is good because it is basically a for sure good will come your way.

   There are many examples of why goodness is the best investment. For example, if you study all night for a test for the next day and end up getting a high score on that test. This happened because you invested in goodness which lead you to goodness. Another example would be you going out and partying instead of staying home and studying for that test that you end up getting a bad score on. This happened because you didn’t invest in goodness which lead you down a bad path. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Henry David Thoreau.
