Student success statement

Cowardice asks the question “is it safe?”

Expediency asks the question “is it politic?”

Vanity asks the question “is it popular?”

 But conscience asks the question “Is it right?” and there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.

Reflection: what this quote is trying to explain and show us is that asking yourself is it right is better and more responsible than asking yourself is it safe or is it politic or is it popular. Also when you’re in a certain position it’s better to ask yourself is It right because then you will truly understand what’s your position and you will trust yourself to do the right thing. Your conscience is another part of you that separates the right and the wrong and when you are in a wrong position it leads you to a better and more righter pathway.

For example if you know you are in a crowd of bad people who do wrong this your conscience is going to be the one to help you and guide you to a better place like with a more nicer crowd.
