Student Success Statement

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-- Henry David Thoreau

Thoreau cannot be more correct while stating this. You can invest in a lot of things in this life and sometimes those investments fail. You can never be sure if your investment will succeed or not, but Thoreau says otherwise and is correct. When you invest in being good you can never have a completely horrible outcome. We do need to live in reality and take the fact that doing the right thing will not just only bring goodness to you some bad things may and probably will happen. Though in essence no matter what it will end up something great. If you find a stray dog suffering and you take it home to help it that is great. However you most likely will be yelled at and told to get rid of the dog, later it will become a hassle to take care of this dog and it will affect you greatly. Yet in the end that dog will most likely show gratitude and you will feel great that you plowed through all the bad things that came with the dog and ended with something great.
