“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound”(not good)- Joseph Smith

This student success statement is by Joseph Smith and it is just brilliant to use in our daily lives. This quote is saying that it is our job or responsibility to focus on all of our influence of good things and the bad things which is unsound. To make popular is the sound and good and to make unpopular is the unsound which are the not good things. Sound and good are the good examples that we should do as an individual. For instance, you have to be an influence of the good and sound. Such as doing the right things. That is our duty and we all need to focus on that a little more. However, if we are the influence of the unsound, society would be a lot more different than it is. For example, if you do the wrong things such as being uncooperative, doing drugs, disrespectful, etc, than you are concentrating on the unpopular which is not good. Over, this quote is emphasizing to all of us that we all have to be the great influence to have sound and good popular and unsound ( not good) unpopular.
