This quote means that you make your habits, so if you ditch school one day and you didn't get caught then your gonna keep doing it and it will become  habit, and you will be doing it like a daily thing. And if you stop doing good for a bit because you get lazy, then you will stay lazy for a while and not do your work. 

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. His book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.” How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them reach their goals and live a successful life.

While its all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives. “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say, “Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey. Wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slackers. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold.

"Its not WHERE you live but HOW you live that counts. It's not where you play but HOW you play the game that counts"

Mr. Haymore

This quote means that no matter where you live it doesn't effect on how you play, like if you live in a ghetto place it won't matter how you play if your playing good or bad. If you loose its not because of the neighborhood it was on how you were playing. And if you live in a ghetto place you can always help and make the place a better neighborhood.

A successful student…

..Takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be powerful stimulating engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most—if not all—of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience—this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, sell-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

..Is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activates all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU writing center is available to assist you.

..Is willing to be a member of a learning community

" Goodness is the only investment that never fails"

-Henry David Thorean 

i think this quote means that whatever is good that it never fails. Like if you do something good it won't bring any trouble or bad consequences to you. And if you do something wrong then it will fail, and bring a lot of problems and consequences your way. Like if you have money and you go buy drugs and drinks its not good and will fail because something bad will probably happen and harm you. It is a true statement.

Successful Students

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that a time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their time is probably the no.  I study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse makers. Don’t make academics harder than it had to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it.
