Student Success Statement: James E. Faust

"When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block,it becomes a building block."-James E. Faust

  This quote means that once you begin to get use to obedience it won't block your path but open it up more. Being use to being obedient will get more and more easier as you keep practicing. If your not use to being obedient, it won't come as easy to you. Obedience will open up many doors in life if you are always obedient. So this all goes to show that being obedient doesn't knock you down but build you up.

  There are many examples of how being obedient is important in life. For example, if you are obedient all the way up until you graduate, that will lead you to get a good career and so on. Another example would be you being an obedient son/daughter and that leading you to getting rewards all the time from your parents. Like I said before obedience is a very important key in life to lead you to success. This is what this quote is basically stating to it's audience.

"Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy." -David Bednar


  This quote means that obedience is the center of everything. Everything revolves over whether your obedient or not. If you are obedient you are on the road to happiness just by being obedient. If you are disobedient you are going backwards on the road to happiness. So this all goes to prove that being obedient will lead you somewhere.

  There are many examples of how obedience is the central to leading you to happiness. For example, if you are told to clean you room and you obey your reward would be that you are able to go out. If you were to have done the opposite you would of ending up grounded and unable to go out. These are some of the many examples of how important it is to be obedient.So that is all this quote is trying to state to it's aduience.

Student Success Statement: Boyd K. Packer

"The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."
-Boyd K. Packer

  This means that the more we listen the more we are going to be able to do. When you are obedient you listen to what you are told to do. With being obedient you are given freedom to do things, like going out or rewards. When you are disobedient you don't listen to what you are told to do and this brings consequences. With being disobedient instead of gaining freedom, it gets taken away like being stuck at home or no rewards. That is the point that this quote is trying to get across to us.

  There are many examples of what being obedient and disobedient can cause. For example, maybe you parents told you to clean your room so for doing this you are allowed to go out. Another example of being obedient would be you getting good grades and for that you get that new phone you have been wanting. An example of disobedient would be you not finishing your homework which would cause you to get a bad grade. Being disobedient can also be you not doing your chores which would cause you being grounded. In conclusion, being obedient can bring freedom in many ways unlike being disobedient.

Student Success Statement: Thomas S. Monson

"Obedience is the greatest test of life"  
 -Thomas S. Monson 
  Obedience is the greatest test of life because you use it all the time. It is used alot and it is up to you whelther you obey or not. If you obey you are choosing the right. If you decide to disobey you are choosing the wrong. If you obey good will come out of what you did but if you disobey you will have to face the consequences for your actions.
  There are many examples of when obedience is put to the test and it depends on you whether you will succeed or not. For example, if your parents tell you to go clean you room being obedient would be if you go do it. If you were to have been disobedient you would of probably ending up grounded or you might have gotten your electronics taken away.       Another example would be your teacher assigning you pages from you workbook to work on, being obedient you would complete it and turn it in on time. If you were to have been disobedient you would have probably not got credits making your grade come down which would lead to other consequences. Base on this you should pretty much figure out that being obedient is probably the greatest test of life like stated by Thomas s. Monson. In conclusion, this will help you to become a better person with others when being told to do something.
