Student Success Statement
" Physical
fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the
basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between
the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex.
Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that
intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the
body is healthy and strong"
This
quote is well said and could be understood by the point given, but it could
also be further looked into and realize that it is not all agreeable. Physical
fitness is very important and I can see all the reasons why it is to. The mind
is an incredible thing and each is very different the mind is powerful by
itself and one
does not need to be fit to know how to think. All people are
different and not everyone has the ability to be able to be physically fit, it
could be a very difficult obstacle to face and overcome. Quotes such as these
often make people believe they have to be as everyone wants them to in order to
be successful and accepted. Not everyone is healthy nor fit but they do have
the ability to think of great things without meeting such standards. I can see
the point that was meant to be given but it really is not the best.
