Student success statement

“Regard you good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of.”

-Socrates

Reflection

 

I think this statement has a lot of meaning. Socrates is saying that you should consider your name very valuable like a jewel. You should keep it clean and nice. Your name makes up for a lot of who you are so try to keep your reputation straight. Try to keep your reputation clean and straight because your name is what you’re known for. If you choose the wrong your name will be ruined and people will think badly as soon as they hear it. For example Hitler, everyone knows who he is and when they hear his name they right away think of all the bad and cruel things he did. You should choose the right and be a good person. Your name would be clean and people would think well about you if you are a good person or do good things. In other words always choose the right because even something simple as your name can be ruined by the actions you make. Always choose the right and keep your name clean like a jewel.
