Student Success Statement: Dan Dierdorf

“If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I'm going to succeed.” - Dan Dierdorf


This quote means that setting goals can have better chances at you being successful. If you set goals it will lead you to what you want to accomplish in life. It will help you to stay focus when you write down what you want to do in life. If you don’t set goals then you won’t be lead to success because you won’t know what you want to do in life. You won’t be able to stay focus because you won’t have a written out plan of what you want to do in life. This is why it is important to set goals in order for you to be able to right things to get to where you want to be in life.

There are many examples of how setting goals can lead you to success in life. For examples if two students are given journals to write down goals but they both have different perspectives on it. One of the students always writes down goals and takes it everywhere with him. That student later on ends up going to college and getting the career of his dreams. The other student never writes down goals and is always forgetting to bring it to class. He later on drops out of highschool and works a minimum wage job for the rest of his life. That goals journal lead both of them on different paths depending on the way they put it to use. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Dan Dierdorf.

Student Success Statement: Arnold H. Glasgow

"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where goalposts are" - Arnold H. Glasgow

  This quote means that you won't be able to do much in life unless you sent your priorities straight. If you know exactly what you want to do and have goals set for yourself this will help you in life. If you have a plan for yourself you can easily follow that path to success. Knowing what you want to do in life will help you to be able to stay in the right track all the time. Setting goals for yourself will help you to better yourself in order to be successful in life.

  There are many examples of how important it is to set goals for yourself. For example, if you plan out what you want to do after high school you will know what you need to do in order to get where you want to be in the future. These goals will light up the way to success for you without you doing much. Another example would be you not planning out what you want to do after highschool and this causing you to do nothing in life. This is because you didn't set goals for your self in order to lead you to success. This is basically what I understood from this quote.
