“Set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.”

Bo Jackson

 

This quote is true because you should always set high goals and standards for yourself and not stop until you reach them. When you reach your goals you will feel good about yourself and if these goals benefit others they too will feel good. The bigger your dreams, the more work but when you accomplish them there is nothing you can’t do.

Student Success Statement

“The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it – as long as you really believe 100 percent.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

What I think this quote is trying to say is that if you set something in your mind to do then you can do it no matter what. Sure there’s times in which you can’t keep going because you feel you can’t but that’s when you should push yourself harder and show yourself that you can. Ones biggest enemy is ones’ self. If you can conquer yourself and take complete control of your will then you can become anything and go anywhere you wish.

"You cant put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the faster you get."

 

Michael Phelps

This statement is true because if you dream and perceive that just makes your dreams stronger and harder to be broken apart by others. If you want to become something in life, someone important, don't let anyone tell you that you cant, instead you prove them wrong and make them say that you did. I once heard that people tell you that you cant only because they're scared to try themselves.

“Try a little harder to be a little better”

Gordon B. Hinckley

This statement is true because when you try harder to get more work done or whatever you’re trying harder for, it will pay off. Think about it this way, if its Friday night and you’re up till midnight doing homework and you complete it, you won’t have homework for the weekend.  This applies to anything; if you try harder to reach your goals then you will feel better when you reach them.

Student Success Statement

“If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.”

Thomas J Watson

 

If you want to achieve greatness then you need to start doing great work because you don’t get it by doing nothing. Everything that people have is because they worked hard for it and well it paid off. If you want to have good things and great rewards then you must work until you reach your goals and conquer them. Always remember, all good comes from better work and much more effort.
