Phillip Riggs 4 Success Tips

Phillip Riggs 4 Success Tips

1.Work hard.

2.Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.

3.Don't chase after money.

4.Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you.

These tips are going to be really useful later in life or maybe in a couple minutes or so. I know that I have done almost all of them except working hard in school because I felt that I can’t do nothing anymore because we have a week and a half or so, so now I may have to take summer school and pass a couple classes. I can apply the other tips to daily life because I’m going to live off of them, my passion is caring for animals and my other passion is soccer, I am really interested in veterinary and want to become a dog specialist. I wouldn’t do it for the amount of money but for the animals because it feels good when you care about others than yourself. I’ve dogsitted before at least 4-5 times and don’t care for the payment because there are more valuable things than money

Theodore Roosevelt

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing”-Theodore Roosevelt

It means to do what’s right every day and make the correct decision even in the hardest of them all. Example, if someone gives weed to smoke, but you’re a person of good deeds, but you want to fit in with the cool kids, you have to smoke to be in the crowd. Just say no because you are a CTR person and you have to be both drug free and alcohol free. I was put in that spot many times, since elementary, I wanted to fit in with a group of kids, they were bad, the got in fights every week and always got suspended. They told me that if I wanted to fit in I had to do bad and everything will be alright. I was told to break a window and record myself doing it, they saw it and didn’t believe it. So I told them why am I going to try to not be my normal self and do good because it’s good, when you do bad you always get suspended and if not in lots of trouble with either at school ar with your parents. I talk with them but don’t hang out with them at all because I know that they are a bad influence for me and going to affect my future.

Wilford Woodruff

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong”- Wilford Woodruff

It means that there’s no point at all to do what’s wrong because there’s no good outcome in return. On the other hand, if you do what's right there is always good consequences every time you do good because good is never bad and bad is never good. Example, me, I cheated in multiple quizzes and pop up test, you don’t learn because you haven’t done the problems yourself and learned from your mistakes, I was called on many times to answer many problems that I cheated on, I looked all confused and acted how to do the problem, but in reality I was clueless, because I cheated my way for the good grade. I could’ve had failed the many tests honestly instead of getting the good grade by cheating. I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes and learned a lot academically and morally.

Pam Knox

“It’s a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time”-Pam Knox

It means to do right no matter how, when or where you always have to do right because it’s right and you will always feel good about yourself and always feel good that you did the right thing. Like the kid, he was going to win the G.P.A but he didn’t realize that he had more than 14 golf clubs in his bag, so he disqualified himself because he plays fair, knows what’s right and follows the rules. I know I was in his shoes a couple times and believe me it feels great to do whats right, you just feel like doing it more and more until it’s just a habit of doing it. Example, I had my allowance saved under my cabinet and went out to go spend it on new clothes because I almost grew out of all of them, I decided to go to the mall with my parents and siblings. We ate and then we walked through lots of stores. I had 200$ saved from working hard at work and from the extra change my dad lets me keep for school, i found a young adult, without an arm and a leg, he was mute and deaf he always had a little piece of cardboard and wrote “I have no money, I don’t have a home and don’t have nothing to eat.” i had only spent 130$, so i decided to buy him a good meal and give him the rest of the money that I was going to spend on myself when I can donate to those that are more needy than I was. He was shedding tears of happiness and enjoyed his meal and gave me a hug. After that act of generosity I felt really good and proud that I just helped a needy person.

Karl G Maeser

“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone, ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground - there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first.”- Karl G Maeser

It means to keep a promise and never break that promise because that shows the lack of honor and trustworthiness. This will make you become an untrusted person in society. I had that issue many times with my parents, I lied, gave them my word of honor and lied in their faces more than 6 times at least. Now I’m giving it my all at school and now are trusting me and rewarding me with new soccer cleats and more freedom. I WILL keep the word of honor to show that I’m trustworthy. I feel like if like got a bit more easier because I’ve been doing my chores even the most complicated ones or the ones that I don’t like, but I have to do it, in their return their trust.
