Stand Alone

“Dare to stand alone”

Thomas S Monson

This quote means that even if you have to stand alone because you are right then you should do it. Always choose what is right even if you are alone, but it is better that way because you get to be an example to others of what it is like to know what is right even when you are lonely. Sometimes it may be hard to do things are your own because you don’t want to stand out but it will show what kind of person you are. For example, When you are at a party and see your friends doing drugs but you don’t want to do it, dare to stand alone. Even if they try to force you stand up for yourself and say no to it because you know it is not the right thing to do. They may make fun of you but that is wrong, they should be able to respect the decisions you make for yourself because you know what is right. If you were to decide to not stand up and stay and do what is wrong, there would have been consequences. You could have gone to prison for doing something illegal or you could have ruined your future is after you had fallen into the wrong footsteps. It is always better to stand alone if you have to, but as long as you are standing up to do what is right, then it will benefit you in life. Daring to stand alone will show how you know to stand up for what you know is right.

NEVER because…

“You can’t be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right”

Thomas S. Monson

This quote means that when you are doing right you can’t be doing wrong. And when you’re not doing right when doing wrong is not an acceptable thing. It’s important you always choose the right decisions because you want to do things that will be beneficial and will give you success. For example, when you want to do a protest, people may think that you are wrong but it could be the right thing to do. It wouldn’t be wrong to speak up for what you believe, on the contrary you are doing what is right for you and others. Don’t do what is wrong and think that is right because it will not bring you any good.

Student Success Statement

"If your so called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow"

Thomas S Monson

This quote means that since your friends are by your side and agree with everything you say then that should mean that they know what is the right. Even if they know they are doing something wrong then you should be the one taking the stand and saying how things are wrong. Its important for you to take a stand for what you think or know what is right. You should be the light that he says that should be able to lead them to what is right and show how you are right in certain things. You should be able to show others how you stand up for yourself and say what is right instead of leading others to what is wrong. Be the light that way others that are doing the wrong could learn from you and show them how you speak and do things for when they are right. Be able to change people and lead them to what is good and show them to not be afraid of being right and speaking up. They are not the only one trying to help others. Try to be that one person that will stand up for themselves and say what is right and wrong even if your the only one. Just because your alone doesn't stop you, even if your friends are not on your side you should be the one saying what you think is right.
