2. I have never considered the question, of what the difference is in being good or being great. To me I think the difference between the two is being good could be on an average level on being passed okay but quiet not there yet. Being great is being better than good. It takes a little more effort than to being good and it shows that you really want it.
3. My high school experience is going to be based on to be one of the best, because I know that I can achieve something I focus on like my education. If me being good something helps with me being one of the top students who ever stepped into school confident with keeping there grades up, it will be me. I worry about my grades a lot to not even get a 3.0 or lower. My heart does get panic for me to be greater. I get excited to get my grades and see the progress I've done.
My high school experience will define me as one of the best. If it doesn't happen I will be fine because I know if I focus on what I want to do I will know I tried my best. I will know I gave it my all into risking on losing sleep to study even if it's worth not going out so I can achieve my goals. At the end of the day I know U'm doing this for me and just for myself.
4. This matters because I can relate to what the video was explaining. People may see you as thinking that your better than everyone else so that's why you don't answer a text or phone call. Some people may walk out of your life for focusing on you and not them. Some people may understand the concept on why your doing this and they will understand. This matters because you doing what you want in order to see what the next milestone is what your doing this for.
This apply's to my life in many ways, I see this applying to my life because this is how your going to have your life. The next milestone in your life is going to the next level. Even if it involves risking or sacrificing some things. It will be worth it at the end.
2. The difference between good and great is the effort. Being good is keeping a steady paste and handling your business with no extra things, but being great is conquering things,making changes,making sacrifices, and working to the extreme. Yes, I have thought about this because I am good at time, but I try to push to be the best.
ReplyDelete3. My high school year is going to be starting out to be good and working to be the best because I know it takes time and effort to make everything fall into place. You have to stay focused and have confidence in everything you do. I want to be the best, but it means I have to lose things and sacrifice my wants, it takes time so I am going to ease into it as my high school year goes by. In order to be great, I must forget about the wants and yearn for the needs and keep them in my heart so it'll feel like I can't breathe without them. It is important to be the best because people like to stay basic and get things done, but if you are the best of the best, you will stand out and people will recognize your greatness.
My heart is yearning for greatness because if I am basic, no one will recognize the effort I have put into my life. I am not the type to brag about things, but being the greatest is a great feeling because it shows you care about yourself enough to make things happen that you have always wanted to accomplish. being good is okay because it is a blessing for everything, but being the greatest is even more. I am okay with mediocrity, but I will not stay this way because I like to work my way up to my dreams, not just have them handed to me. Challenges help me accomplish things because I have a purpose.
4. The message matters to me because in life since I was younger, I have always wanted things to be handed to me. My mom would handicap me and my dad would spoil me because I was the only baby girl, but I have learned from that because in life you have to work for things. Working for things helps because it shows you that things aren't easy. I can apply this to my school life because at times I want to give up at the basics, but I learned that being the greatest signifies you are handling your business. I also can apply this to my house life because at home i have chores my mom gives me,but I should always do more to make her happy, not just stopping at what she told me to stop at.

2) The difference between being good and being great is that great is better then good.and that good is like your not doing so good but great is like your doing an awesome job doing your thing. i considered this question of being great because i want to do great instead of being good.
3) my high school experience of me being good at what i do is that at least i try doing the things good.

2. The difference between being good and great, is that when you are good, you are in the average level. On the other hand, when you are great, you are going above and beyond your expectations. Moreover, you are exceeding what you want and do great things in life, reaching your goal. To be honest, I never really thought about this question before, but I have wondered how my life will turn out in the future, and who I will become.
3. My high school experience is going to be defined by, my objective being, me being one of the best. I just do not want to do good in school, I want to do great. I want to get involved in many school activities, do well in my classes, and most importantly have fun. I want my school experience to be this way because in my opinion I feel that you will get more out of it. I know I can do great things and build my way up to the top and reach for my goal.Furthermore, I want to do great things.
I feel that my heart is yearning for greatness. I want to be the best at what I love to do. I want to try and be great in everything I do in life. On the other hand, I am not okay with mediocrity. A reason is because I feel that when people are mediocrity, they are not really pushing themselves to be their best. They are not even meeting their requirements. Therefore, I am not okay with mediocrity and prefer greatness in everything.
4. This message matters to me because I know that I can do great things in my life and will be able to attain my goal in the future. I know for a fact that all these inspirational, and motivational messages will benefit me greatly in my when I am in a time of struggle. These messages have taught me not to give up o my dreams, no matter the challenges, that people throw at me or no matter what they say, because I know they just want to see me fail and not succeed. Moreover, they teach me to keep moving forward, one step at a time. All in all, the message matters because it helps me believe in myself, in a way that I think positive of all the opportunities I have and with what I love to do the most.
Finally, I can apply this message to my life to make it better, by not giving up, so I will be able to reach my milestone. I can also apply it by making sacrifices. Just like ET said, I need to sacrifice things I love. Sometimes that can be hard, but id you want to pursue your dreams, then go for it. Another thing I have to do is "write it down and shut it down," which basically means to shut out any distractions from you. You can last a very long time with this, which is good because it will help stay very focus or like Mr. Nutley says, "laser-like focus." All in all, I know that I will always learn new things that will help me through out my life.

1) DONE
2) The difference between good and great is that good is like normal or okay. Great is beyond good, it is the next level, giving it your all. Yes, I have considered about this question before, it was when I was about to sleep.
3) My high school experience is going to be defined as my objective to be the best. It will take time, but I will get there. I will have to make a sacrifice to get where I want to be. Like giving up free time, going out with friend, etc. Right now I'm good, but I want to be great, I WANT to be great, and I'm going to be GREAT.
I am not okay with being not very good because I would feel like I'm not trying my best to succeed. I am also not okay because its below good, meaning it's bad. I don't want to fail, I want to succeed, be the best in life. My heart WILL yearn for greatness. I won't give up the thing I want most, but I will have to make sacrifices, in order to be where I want to be.
4) This matters because being great has a power over you, a feeling of greatness and success rushing through you. In order, for you to succeed you need to make sacrifices to the become better. Like sacrificing time and energy in order to make it happen. Being good can get something small being great will get you where you want to be. Being good is okay, but being GREAT is better.
I can apply this message to my life because I want to succeed. I will have to make sacrifices in order to become the best, the greatest. I will make a milestone even if I have to lose somethings. Life isn't easy, if it were easy everyone would succeed. All of this will be worth it at the end.

ReplyDelete2) What differs good from great? Good is average. Good is mediocre, good is doing just enough. Great is that extra mile you are willing to go beyond what is expected. I have considered this question. I ask myself this question quite a lot when it comes to school. For instance when I turn in an essay. Is this my best? Did I put in all my work? Is this the best I am able to produce? I never let myself be okay with just good or average. Based on how I was raised, good or average is considered failing.
ReplyDelete3) My objective is always going that extra mile to be the best. I will not and cannot settle with "good". I push myself a lot when it comes to school. I know I have the ability to do great. Why not work it to my full potential? We are all lucky to be living in a country where education is provided. Many fail to see that education is a privilege. We get to learn skills in life that others around the world wish they could, but can't. To be quite honest, I often take education for granted. I complain about the amount of work, but there are others out there craving for the knowledge I am taught.
There is something within me that never lets me settle for anything below the best. I am an over achiever. People might call it just being Asian. It doesn't matter to me what they call it. All that matters is that it gives me the determination, the right mentality to strive for the best. There are always times where I give up, but I think back to all the things I am able to do. Why am I sitting around doing nothing when I have so much potential within myself?
4) This matters because I am not okay with mediocrity. I always yearn for greatness. At a young age, I was taught to always be the best at what I do. When you do something, give it your all. Either go all the way, or don't do it in the first place. I can never settle for just average. Something within does not allow it. Since I was little, my mentality is to always be the best. My parents taught me to give my all in everything I do in life.
This quote is already applied to my life. At times I do tend to not try my best. I sometimes slack off and simply do enough to be " good ". I need to remember that that is not who I am. I was not raised that way. I need to always go that extra mile. Do that thing nobody else is willing to. I must always strive and yearn for greatness.

1.The difference between good and great, is when your good, you are still getting there but your not great enough to achieve something in your life.But when you are great then you are able to do great in your work that you don't need to try so hard to be the good because your are great enough to conquer all your negativity and turn it to something great.Being good and great are two different kinds of definitions and to be great you always have to start of being good .
2.I think my high school experience is going to be defined by, not how good I do but how great I do.I also think it will be by how I great I do in school activities and school work, it can also be by how I can improve or achieve a goal.And getting involved in many things.I think having a school experience is how well you do in it,and based of how great you do in all of your classes.
I think that my heart is aiming for greatness because at the same time you will want to do good but also show people how great you do in high school.It can also be that you want to do good in high school to be one of your main goals, and at the same time you want to keep going and taking out all the negativity out of your way to earn that achievement.
3.This matters because it can shoe people that you achieve something you want and be the greatest and not let anything change your mind and just keep going on the right track.It can also keep encouraging people that to aim higher, and be great at what they do and show how good they are, and to keep trying because no matter what they can be at the top without any distractions.
I can apply it to my life by also, encouraging myself and trying my best to be the great at something.I can also just try my hardest and keep on going and making the right choices all the way to get to the top.This can also improve on how well you do at something and wanting to be great at, by trying each time you fail or if you still don't get it .
2.) The difference between being good and being great is when you're being good, you're not giving your best, but you're putting in some effort. Although, when you are being great you are giving your best and doing everything you can. Yes, I have considered this question, because there were times when I'd try but I wouldn't prove my full potential.
ReplyDelete3.) My objective for high school is to be one of the best, but I'm not going to lie, I've let things that happened affect my school work. There are times I'm good at things and there are times when I give my best. This year hasn't really been the best for me, but I try ignoring that and having a different mindset when it comes to school work. I want to work to my full potential and do what I came to high school for. I came to high school to not only learn, but to be able to balance what I do in my spare time and my school work.
4.) This message matters because it informs viewers that you shouldn't do good but you should do your best. Not only will you have to be better than good when wanting to reach success, but you will have to be willing to make sacrifices. When you are in the process of reaching success, you will loose the things you thought were once important to you. Life will always give you opportunities, so take the risk and ditch the good ones for the great ones.
I can apply this message to my life for several situations. There are times at school, I don't really try hard enough but I still give some effort. I get good grades, but I don't get great ones. The reason why? I don't try hard sometimes because I let failure let me down. There are times when I didn't really reach my goal, and it discouraged me to try harder. The message from the video inspired me to boost my self a bit, and just try harder. Also, this year hasn't really been great for me because I've lost some people in my life and it really hit me. Although all those things have happened, I am really encouraged to try harder and keep pushing myself to success.

2. The difference between being good and being great is the when you are great, you are intensity considerably above the normal and/or above average. Being good is when you've usually just hit your decency level.You have given everything that you've have caught or experienced. I have experienced this because when i do my work, i ask myself how well i think I've done.
3. No, my high school experience will not be defined on how well I am on a certain thing. I want to experience high school how i want to. I want to be able to succeed in all my classes and be one of the best. I want to be the best because not only do I want to make others proud, but make myself proud. I want to be able to succeed in life knowing that i can do it. All i need to do is push myself to do my work. I also need to push myself to study until i really do understand the material that i'm learning.
My heart is yearning for greatness. I want to make everyone proud. Most importantly, i want to make myself proud. The only person that can let me succeed is me. I want myself to know that i am able to reach my goals. These goals motivate me to do better. I shouldn't achieve "good". Most people consider good as in ok. Great is something people see as above average. Nobody wants to be average. We all want to be great. Achieving greatness can help you realize that failure is nothing compared to greatness.
4. This matters because a majority of us achieve to be good. We want to do the minimum of what we can do. If we can achieve good, then we can achieve greatness. You just need to push yourself to be the best that you can do. Stop complaining and change how you do things. Stop saying what you are going to do without actually doing it. After you reach good, push yourself to the next level. Make sacrifices so you can achieve your goals. Stop making dreams, dreams. Make them come true.
I can apply this to my life to make it better because it teaches me so much. This video told us to create sacrifices. For example, you can sacrifice time with your friends if you haven't done what you haven't done. Give up something. Although, from time to time, you must take a break because you can overwork yourself and want to give up everything. It is going to be hard, but to reach greatness, you must do all that you can. If these people will not support you, then they never supported you in the first place. The people who care will always be there for you. You gain some, you lose some.

2.There is big difference between being good and being great.Being good is ok and is boring but being is amazing and not boring.Being great also means going above the standard and not settling for ok.
3.What I want my high school experience to be defined as Great.The reason its going to be great is because academic scores. What I mean by that is that I am going to get great grades so that I can get into any college I want. I want this so that I can have a great future instead of a good future. I yearn for greatness and I will use that yearning to become great.
4.This matters for many reasons. one reason is because it makes me want to put more effort to make my high school years great.One other reason this matters is because I want to be great and not be mediocre.There are many ways I can apply this to my life.One way I can apply this to my life is because I always wanted to be great.

2. The difference between good and great is that when you are good it's the basic part and when you are great you are more than what is expected . When you do good you are doing the right thing . But when you do great you're on top of the world , your above many things . I have never considered this question and the difference of good and great .
3. So far my high school experience has been not the best but I will get there in no doubt . My current GPA is 3.0 and that is not good for me I should be the best and have a 4.0 GPA . After I accomplished that then I will rest . Until now I will die trying to get where I want . All in all I want to go to the next level and prove myself I can do it .
I am not okay with mediocrity I am leading to GREATNESS and only that . I want to do better . I will not let myself down . Obviously we do what is expected but I do more because that will make me look good in every way . I will not be basic but extraordinary . I can do this and I will do everything it takes to be on the top .
4. This message matters to me because I know that I can do great things in my life and will be able to accomplish my goal in the future. I know for a fact that all these inspirational, and motivational messages will benefit me greatly in my when I am in a time of struggle.

ReplyDelete2) The difference between being good and great is being good are blessings given to you but being great is giving your blessings up. I've never considered this question because I thought being good was close to being great. The difference is being good is no where near being great because anyone can be good but in order to be great you need to put in effort and give up many things.
3) My objective in high school is to be the best of the best because of many reasons. I need to be the best of the best because I will stand out, out of all the freshman's at Leuzinger High School. The more I challenge myself to do greater things and more work, the more i will get noticed by many. I would like to challenge myself to do bigger and bigger things everyday. If I give up all the blessings I have in school right now, the better school will be for me 3 years from now.
My heart is yearning for greatness because it's okay for me to be just good at everything. If I'm great at something or over the top the more people will recognize me and see how I'm an over achiever. Once I start recognizing how many blessings I have and how giving them up will only better me in the future. I understand the concept because once I count and see my blessings, the better it will feel once I give it all up. That is why I understand being great is better than being only good.
4) This matters to me and my life because of many reasons. Once I realize how great and good are completely different, I will be able to see the greatness in life. It might hurt but life is a bumpy road and is worth taking risks. In order for me to get to the next level I need to give up at least one of my blessings. I can apply this to my life by realizing how not everything is given to you and I need to look for greater opportunities.

ReplyDelete2)The line between good and great is very thin. That thin line represents the difference and the difference is that good is something everyone will have at some point but great is something only the people who work will get.
ReplyDelete3)I say that my personal high school experience will have to be to have the goal to be one of the best. I say this because everyone is judge mental and wont let me be one of the best so the way I see it, it's a nice time to prove them wrong. I say that I want greatness in my life because being the exact same as everyone else wont make me stand out but if I am great then I wont have to fight for the spot light. Having greatness in my life will finally show that I am different.
4)This message matters because good things come to those who wait but great things come to those who don't. The great things are the things you work for while anyone can have good. The difference is that good is for everyone who does the minimum and great is for the people who go above and beyond the limits. I can apply this message to my life by doing not the minimum but the top quality work. I can show this by finishing not only the big important things but also the tiny details that I have.

2. What the difference between good and great is that good is the normalcy or the average of something. And then great is something that is above the normal or above the average of it. Yes I have considered this question.
3. my high school experience is going to be defined as something great or the best because I am not trying to do the average of something. I will always try to accomplish something that is higher than normal because it is going to make you better. I think that my heart is going for greatness because I am trying to get the best of everything that is in my way. No matter what it is, I will always surpass it.
4. Why this matters to me is because I could use it to motivate me into doing more and more things. For example, I could be trying out for a athletics team and people could tell me that I would never succeed there because I am not good enough to beat the other teams.But this video and quote could show to block out all the haters and for you to stay in your path.

2. The difference between being good and being great is that one makes you greater than the other.It means that being Good is what everybody can be but being great is something that not everybody can succeed or be.Being great takes a lot more work and effort then being just Good.I have always put this question to mind but i never followed through with the action that it takes to be great.
3. My High School experience will be defined on how much of a great and how much i was the best at what I do or did.My time while being in high school will be determined on how much of a determined person i was and how good i was at what i did.I would want to be great because that generally how people remember you.And just doing what everybody else in the world does doesn't really separate you it generally makes you the same.So i'm gonna be defined on how great i was by being one of the best so i won't be like a everybody else.
I am not OK with mediocrity i am actually the total opposite.I am yearning for greatness and i am planning to get it be the time that my high school years are over.I am striving to be more than what everybody else wants to be or do.I will become more then the average persons yearly funding that's how much i will strive and be none.
4. This matters because it helps you under stand and know that i don't want to be like everybody else or do what everybody else is doing.Basic isn't cute or good its mostly sad.I personally don't want o be a sad person so that's why i want to do great things for high school,after,and continuing on in life when it will no longer be my worries.

Finally I can apply this to my life so I could help others focus on education.

2. The difference between being good and being great is that the great is above the normal or average and good is the average. So great is above good. I have also considered this question and i choose to go above great and achieve the best-est me that I can be.
3.
No, my high school experience isn't going to be based on anything. I come here to do what i got to do. I want to be successful and is willing to make any sacrifices for my goals and dreams. Because I want to be a surgeon and I believe I will do greatness with that and greatness will also come. So I very much would strive for nothing mote than success.
I am not okay with mediocrity at all. Not one single bit. I can't accept that or live with that. I nor want to be labeled as that as well. I have my life and everything planned you know? Now I just gotta work hard to achieve it to live it.
4. This matters because it can show you or tell you, if you weren't aware, if your willing to settle for something so low such as mediocrity. Or for greatness. Something far more greater and more than exceptional. I think many people would go for greatness because of how much better it is. And not only that but the higher chance of success in which it brings you. Also confidence as well.
I can apply this to my life to make it better because it's a reminder for me not to settle for less. Like to not settle for an okay. No, don't settle at all! Strive higher and achieve higher. That's how I can apply this to my life to make it better and why it matters. I also hope that I can strive and pursue what I wish to with this applied to my life.

2) The difference between being good and being great is that great is better then good.and that good is like your not doing so good but great is like your doing an awesome job doing your thing. i considered this question of being great because i want to do great instead of being good.
3) my high school experience of me being good at what i do is that at least i try doing the things good.you don't wanna do good you wanna do great , great is better. its gonna pay off later because you stayed n school. school is important because some kids don't go to school its hard for them. if you stay in school its better you learn things for the real world your getting prepared in the real world ,so its worth it.
4) this matters because people wanna be successful in life if you not doing well then not that much money. you don't wanna be one of those people who ask other people for money ,you wanna earn your own money its better like that for you can realize what you have done you completed you'r dream.and you see the past and now look at you in he future your a guy or girl doing well in life doing the things on your own.its gonna be hard in life maybe for some people its not but some people ,if you wanna it easy then we kids have to stay at school and learn different things.

1.) Already did...
ReplyDelete2.) To me I think being good is just ordinary good like if you are good at this or that. Great in the other hand means that you are truly good at it and you will be successful at it later on in life. I have considered this question to myself always wondering what is the difference or which one is better but to be honest it almost means the same.
3.) So far my high school experience is decent, sure the teachers are nice and I met some nice people but it is not the best or great experience. One thing is that I don't try to be number one cause it just means that I show off at being good at this and I don't want to be number one but I do want to at least be good at a subject so it can help me later one in life. No my heart doesn't force me to be great cause I don't want to be good at something really badly.
4.) This matters to me because in life so far I'm not the greatest achiever but at least I'm doing good at life so far, it might sound pointless but at least I'm good at something. Being good at something is at least good but being an achiever is twice as better since you can basically be good at almost anything but that's not me, I'm not an achiever I'm more of a basic kind of person who achieves and fails in life at the same time, but to be honest being a failure is better than being an achiever, why you may ask it's because you have to at least fail to learn your mistakes and being an achiever you don't learn nothing but the fact that you just achieve and don't know what failure is like.
How can I apply this to my life you may ask, well a couple of things that I can do is one at least try, try to be good but not great at a subject that can probably help me in life later on. Also I can try to not give up and continue till I become good or great at least one subject like math, English,, and science. One final thing to add is that no matter how hard I try, I learn form the mistakes that I make as a failure not achiever, failure, not everyone should be an achiever.

1. Watch Video and Take Notes
2. The difference between being good ad being great is that good is being at the minimum level of skill and great is where you pushed yourself from good into becoming something greater. I have considered this question before in my life, I thought about what my life would turn into if I turned into something great other than just sticking to having good.
3. I want my high school experience to be determined by my objective to be one of the best. I do not want my high school experience to be determined by myself being good at a mediocrity level because there would be not improvement. I always try to strive for greatness because I like to continuously improve myself daily. I think that it never hurts to improve because there is always something that we have to work on in our lives. Though we all may not like to admit to it, it is true.
Personally, I am not okay with mediocrity because I don't like to be average or be considered as an average. I find average to be quite basic and boring and I always like there to be some character. In general, my heart tends to yearn and strive for greatness. I think the greatest revenge out there is being successful in life and proving others that they were wrong. Obviously, there a lot more reasons of why I strive to be successful and have greatness but this is just one of them.
4. The message from the video "Sacrifice Good for Great" matters in so many ways because of the message that it sends. It is not always easy to give up the good blessing you already have but you have to do it in order to get to the next level. Greatness is not an easy thing to achieve in life. If greatness were easy then everybody would be having it and doing it. The spokesperson in this video states that people will challenge you. They will start to say things to you to get into your head that make you want to give up.
The people out there will start to challenge you. They will start to say things such as "Do you think your'e better than everyone else?", or "So your'e too good for us now?". You should not let these words get to your head. It is your life and you should do whatever you have to do to better yourself. You may even have to lose your connections with others such as your friends. You have to sacrifice the good blessing that you have now in order to have greatness.
2. The difference between good and great is that you can only be good for so long. You can be great for ever. Being great is that you went through things to get to where you are. You had to give up tings to get to where you are, you had to male sacrifices. You have to do what it takes to be great.
ReplyDelete3. My objective is to the be best at what I do. I want to be the best in all my classes, I want to be the best I can be. I want to be the best in school because I know it will make my family proud. I want to be the best at basketball because that is what I want to be the best at. I can't handle knowing that I didn't give my all on something I was able to give my best on. I want to be the best at everything so people think I'm worth keeping. I want to prove to people that I can be the best.
I can apply this to my life by sacrificing whatever it takes to go to the next level. I need to do whatever it takes to reach the next milestone I have planned. I have to leave everyone and who ever stays with me then I know who was really there for me. If I leave people to focus on what i got planned and they stay then that means that they will support me through anything. I have to get rid of anything that stands in my way of getting what I want. I have remove all the distractions in my life to achieve what I want to achieve. I have to see if I want to stay with people that will bring me down or be with people that will stay with me no matter what.
4. I can apply this to my life by doing what I want to do in life. I have to be with the people who want me to be successful. I can't be with people who are gonna leave me when I wanna focus on my goals. I have to be about what I wanna do with life. I have to have my life life under control. I can't let distractions mess up my goal in life. I have to be focused on my goal even if I have to give up some things.
I have to apply this to my life by being on what I wanna do. I have to have a mindset where I go to work every day to get better. I have to have a mindset where no one can interfere with my grind. I have to put all distractions aside and focus on what I want to be in life. I can't be dreaming about what I want to be ad not do it. I have to be focus and handle what needs to be handled. I just have to on the grind 24/7 mindset that no one can break.

2. It's a difference between good and great so. If you good your okay but if your great your doing really good in something you like that's good.
3. So I'm doing alright right now and I can do better. I wanna give it my all so my parents could be proud of what I'm doing. I wanna do big things in life I wanna be better and show my parents that I wanna succeed in life. I have a goal that I wanna achieve. My goal is to graduate from high school with a GPA that is 3.0 or higher.
4. This matter to me because what if I don't have a goal. I want to have a goal and achieve it. I wanna show my parents that I wanna good life and not a bad one. They taught me to be a good person. I wanna show them that they raised a good child not a bad one. I wanna succeed but I gotta put in a lot to have a good life. I wanna set goals to myself and achieve them not just make them for fun.

1.The difference between good and great is that great is better than good. It's better than good because I feel like it means something that you did more of.The difference for good, I think it stands for something you did but not to the fullest.
2.I think that my high school experience is defined by both being what I'm good at and focusing on doing my best.I think it's defined by both because there are some subjects in which I'm good and then there are subjects that I try my best in to get a good grade.If it were not for the both things that define my high school experience then I wouldn't even be trying to get to my level of success.I feel like these are the things that keep me going because if I start with something I know I'm good at and try my best on, then I know I will accomplish things more easily.
I don't think that I'm okay with mediocrity because with that I won't be able to get things done.I feel like it will keep me in the way of doing greater things.I feel this way because mediocrity means not very good and it will make me think that I didn't do very well or don't know how to do something.I am yearning for greatness because I believe that with greatness many things are accomplished.With greatness I believe that anything is possible and you can do anything you believe you can do.
3.This matters because if you do something, you want people to know you for something that was great.Not that it matters if its good or great, just that you did something that had a positive impact on others.It matters because with greatness you can get to your dreams. I also believe that with greatness many thing can be achieved. To do this you'll have to keep working to get to were you want to be.
To apply this to my life to make it better I'll have to keep doing work. I'll have to keep working and studying if I want to start changing things. I also wouldn't want to get good on any part of work I did, I would want to get a great on everything I do. I know this won't be easy to do since procrastinating prevents me from doing so but I know that I'll have to keep distractions away. This will probably help me and will get me to do great on my work.
