Student Success Statement

“Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now.  Write down what you want most and see it often.”

-Peter Vidnar

I love this quote.  I have read it before, so it doesn’t surprise me that we have it as one of our SSS’s.  I love what this quote is saying.  It is saying that we need to think about our future.  What we want now, we will not want in 5 minutes.  But what we want most, we will want it until we get it.  This is why it is important to write down our goals.  Because our goals are what we desire most in life.  Sometimes people think that a “want is just a “want”.  But in fact, it isn’t.  When we want something so bad, and then we finally achieve it or get that, we feel satisfied.  So, in reality, our wants are our needs.  What people want most in life is something that they should work towards every single day.  We need to focus on our goals because they are what can make or break us.
