"Education is the latch key to success"

~Gordon B. Hinckley

I think this quote means that in order for anyone to be successful in things or in life, we need to be educated. Education is the process of facilitating, or the gain of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Success is an achievement of an action. Therefore, in order for us to achieve something whether in learning how to do something or how to become someone important in life, we that education. Without education we'd have no success, and no success means we're not successful. Success may have different meanings to each of us. No matter what success means to  you, it's still important and you still try hard to get to it. For example, you can be in love with a sport and really like it, so you practice really hard to get good at it. At the end of the month you realize that you're better than your friends and you're finally successful. This shows us that even for the smallest things in the world you need education for it. Practicing was part of that education and finally being better than your friends was your success.

 "Decisions Determine Destiny"

~Thomas S. Monson

 I think this quotes means that whatever you do now in the present, will reflect on your future. The decisions we make can be either wrong or right, never neutral. We are old enough to know what we're choosing and smart enough to know what's right. Unfortunately, many of us choose to do the wrong because its satisfies them. For example, cheating on a test. After cheating on a test and not getting caught, you think you've succeeded. However, when you try to get a job in your real life situation, you fail for not making the right decision before an studying for your test. This may not seem important, but it's true. On the other hand, when making the right decision, you get the contrary and get a good reward or a good scene in your future. This quote is saying that decisions, (what you think in your mind and decide to do physically) determine destiny (your future or your "success").

"Obedience is the great test of life"

Thomas S. Monson

                                          Obedience is what everyone does to not get into any trouble, or just to do the right thing. If a child doesn't obey the commands of his/her parent, then the mother or father punishes the child for not being obedient. This is to show the child to be obedient and teach him to do the right thing. This is an example for the quote because it shows and tells us that without rules or commands, everyone would grow up to do whatever they want whenever they want to. However, since our world is very clear about laws and rules, we need to follow them in order to live right. If a parent doesn't show there child hot to obey and follow rules, then the child will grow up to be spoiled and have a crooked life. For example, he wouldn't want to work to survive, he would want to do everything his way, or he wouldn't want anyone to tell him what to do. That's why the quote says that obedience is the great test of life, if you don't pass obedience you've failed life.
