FInal Part 3 Student Success Statment

"Obedience is central to becoming, being, and remaining happy." 
                           -David A. Bednar

I believe this quote really speaks for itself and says it all. That when you have obedience you and you are obedient 24 hours 7 days a week it makes you happy. When you are obedient you have freedom and so many other things to be happy. For example if in your job you start off as an intern and you do everything you are told then that will look good and then they could hire you, then if you continue to be obedient then could promote you and then you could end up being high up in the position ladder at your job which will make you very happy. Being obedient brings so much good, positive things in your life that you wouldn't get if you were not obedient.

"Obedience is the great test of life."                        - Thomas S. Monson 
This quote is saying that obedience really is a big thing in your life. Its not easy to be obedient in life all the time and that's what makes it a test, will you be obedient even though you have to do something you might not want to like your parents telling you to clean your room and you don't want to or just because you don't want to do it are you not going to be obedient. You need to have obedience to be able to get to the top. Not being obedient can cause some negative consequences. When I was in leadership in my old school I had to do things that I wasn't comfortable with that the teacher made me do like speaking at the culmination or going to speak to the principal or speaking into the speaker or going into random classes to tale things to the teachers. Even though those things were out of comfort zone I did them and after a while I got used to it and all I would think about was just doing what she had told me and I didn't think
 anymore about if it was in my comfort zone or not. I could have
easily told her I didn't want to do it and I would've probably gotten
kicked out of leadership and I wouldn't have ever made myself
comfortable with the things she told me to do.

"Obedience...is the primary object of all sound education."                                                -Elizabeth Missing Sewell 

I believe this quote means that for you to be actually educated you have to have obedience. If you aren't obedient then all you cause yourself are negative consequences. You can never learn if you don't have obedience. Its saying the the first and one of the most important principles of actually learning in life is obedience. For example if you are not obedient in school then you will not be learning to your full potential since you aren't paying attention. if you don't do your homework you aren't getting extra practice on the work you're doing in class and then when the test come you won't get some things and your grade can drop.

" The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."                                                - Boyd K Packer 

I believe this quote means that how much freedom you have depends on how obedient you are. For example my parents what they mainly ask of me is to get good grades in school and since I do when I ask them if I can go out with a friend or two they say yes. They know they can trust me to get back at whatever time they tell me too which gives me freedom for a while but it's because I'm obedient with them. If i wasn't obedient they wouldn't let go out very often and they would also be on my back. Another example is if you aren't obedient and don't follow the law and then you end up in jail which is taking away your freedom but it was your choice no to obey, that why it's important to be obedient with everything and everyone.
