‘’If i’ve got correct goals, and if i keep pursuing them the best way i know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.’’ - Dan Dierdorf

I think what Dan is trying to say is, If you have the right goals in mind like graduating getting a good job that you like being successful etc and you achieve those goals by doing right and not cheating then you will be successful because you're not just gonna achieve your goals you will be successful because of the hard work you put into achieving those goals you know? It's like an accomplishment that you can feel good about.
