Student Success Statement
"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating." - Sophocles
What this quote by Sophocles means to me is that we should never cheat ourselves in life, because there is no honor in doing that. Instead we should always aim to win in a fair, competitive way, but, at the same time learn how to accept defeat in a fair way. You may hate losing as well as any other human being on the planet, but if you lose when you tried to compete in a fair manner, then people will respect you. On the other cheating towards victory in a sense is a cowards way to glory, and for the reasons mentioned above, we should aim to win/lose in a fair way with honor, than cheat and be dishonorable and disrespected.
