2.) - Being good and being great seem very similar since they have similar meanings, but they are very different. When you’re good, you are just average. You’re not above average and you’re not below average. That’s what being good is. But when you’re great, then you are higher than average. I have considered this questions in some cases because there is a difference between them.
3.) - My objective in high school is to be at my best, and not just good. Being “just good” is like having a B as a grade. To be your absolute best is like having an A as a grade. That is exactly what I’m shooting for. It depends with mediocrity. At times, I don’t care if I’m of only moderate quality. Other times, I do want to be great. It can change too.
At most times though, I do want to do great. I don’t want to be like anyone else who thinks average is good enough for them. If I can do great and be great, then therefore I can go on to the next level in my life and make sure I live a successful and happy life. It’s like what the video said, “If you wanna get to the next level, you have to give up something.”
4.) - It is very important and you can apply this to your life in so many ways. This can motivate you to be more than good. It can help you do better and not just average. There will be obstacles, but if you stay strong, then you will be able to do it. This can be a great motivation in your life. It will help you a lot and it will be worth it in the end.
It is like what they said in the video, “You will not be great unless you make a great sacrifice.” And it’s true. If you want to be great, then you must do great. It will take time and practice maybe, but you are capable of doing it. Everyone is capable but it’s mainly up to you to do it or not. Basically, if you want to be great, then do great. Be motivated.
2) I have always considered this question. The difference in being good and being great is anybody can be good at something. Everybody can be average at basic things in life. But being great is something that few can achieve. Being great is sacrifice and hard work that a lot a people dont want to but want it to happen.
ReplyDelete3) My high school experience is going to be objective at being the best I want to be the best at whatever i do because i know how to get i have the stamina i just get lazy and that s something that i have to work on. I want to be the best because i want to show people that they cant step over me in order to get where they want to get. I dont want to be another persons stepping stone and leave me behind. And i dont want to step on anyone i want to get to where i want to go a different way that other people dont try now a days. And thats honesty its something that a lot a people dont posses to get where they want to go so they lie or cheat and thats something that i want to change. I want to show people that im a force to be reckoned with and nothing and no one will stop me.
My heart is yearning for greatness i want to be one of the grates like my sister. I want to achieve the impossible when things are not possible. The yearn for greatness will never be satisfied as for i will always strive to be the beast. I will never stop doing what i do best and continue to improve on myself. My quest in life is to show everyone that im not someone to be taken likely. I want to be someone that people look up to not down (literally) im short so people look down on me. But that wont stop me to do my best. It only gives me strength to carry on.
4) It matters because it gets people thinking what role are they going to play in the story of their lives. Will they be the villagers that need saving or will they be the grate army that everyone knows will save the day or will they be the villain. Greatness comes in all different shapes and sizes so you can accomplish all types of greatness. What is the greatness that you want to achieve in your life. That is the question that this question arises. What greatness atre you capable of. What kind of greatness are worthy of.
I can apply this to my life by asking myself what kind of greatness do i want to achieve. Is it the one like my sister or the ones like in those story books were goodness always privales. I guess that question will only be answered when the time is right or when the opportunity presents itself. To put that question in my life will adjust they way i look at myself and how i feel. What kind of greatness do i want to achieve.
1. The difference between good and great is that great is something way better than good. When you are great you are ready to make a difference in this world and good just means that you are alright. I have not really considered this question because i always thought of them as being the same thing.
ReplyDelete2. My high school experience is going to be defined of being my best. I want to achieve many things in high school. By doing so I must focus in school and try my hardest in my homework and tests. I need to reach my full potential to be great. Hopefully it will happen because I know that I am great.
My heart is yearning for greatness. I am wanting to seek greatness in me so I can be successful. I have to perform my hardest to achieve it. By being great I have to let go of some things and make sacrifices. It is the sad truth. The good part about it though is that something good can come out of it.
3. I can apply the message to my life in many ways. One way I can apply it is by adding it to my school life. Everyday when I wake up I will get up to go seek greatness in me. I know that it is somewhere deep inside me. Another way I can apply it is when I have a job. Doing that will make me great at what I do and I can get a raise or a promotion.
The message matters for many reasons. One reason how this message matters is because it is something all of us human beings want. We can't just receive greatness so easily. We need to work for it. Greatness comes from hard work and hard work is the key thing to success. In conclusion, those were the reasons why the message matters and can be applied to our lives.

2. The difference between Good and Great is that when you are good, you are average, or mediocre. You do not strive and/or achieve more than what other people do, as when you are Great. When you are Great, you are succeeding more, achieving your goals, and have a better mindset. You are at peace with yourself and others. You do not wish you could be doing better, because you have already achieved, or are in the process of achieving your goals in life. No, I have not considered this question before, but it is an interesting thing t think about. It gets you thinking about where yo are in life - if you are Good or Great.
3. My objective for high school experience is to be considered one of the best in school. This is my objective because I would like to achieve great things in life. Being one of the best in school would open new doors to opportunities for me, like receiving scholarships for school and graduating from college. I do not wish to be just an average student at school. I wish to be in the top percentage of my graduating class. This will increase my chances of getting into my dream school - UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine.
My heart is yearning for greatness. It yearns to be successful, to achieve most, if not all, of my goals in life. Being average will lower my chances at doing what I want in life. It will make me lower my chances at getting into a good school, which could make me lose my motivation. This will cause me to settle for a job I am unhappy with, and live unhappily.
4. This video matters because it is motivational. It motivates people to get going both their lives. It helps them realize that achieving their goals will not be easy. While working towards following your dreams, you will come across many hardships and people trying to slow you down. You might even have to make sacrifices. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.
I can apply the message shown in this video by sticking to my goals and never letting other people or hardships distract me. I can do this by always keeping in mind that no matter what I might be going through while working towards my goals, I will eventually achieve those goals and all the hardships I went through will be worth it. This will improve my life because it will motivate me. Working hard isn't always easy. If it were, everyone would do it.

ReplyDelete2.) The difference of being good and being great is that being good at something you are better at being great. Being great is that you are trying to be better than that and trying to be good than great. I never considered this question because i never get asked this.
3.) My objective is trying to be the best because I know i can do better and always working hard. My heart is yearning for greatness because I know I can do it. I won't give up until I get it right. People can't bring me down and not doing anything about, I have to keep going. I have to finish what I left on to be the best.
4.) This matters because in the future it is going to start to get harder. You have to give up something to get an opportunity on what you really want to do. You have to focus and be prepared on whats going to happen in life. I can apply this to my life to my life to make it better by sacrificing on what to choose. I have to be successful in life to be the best.

ReplyDelete2. The difference between being great and being good is that being great is being above the normal and being good means to be desired or approved of. No, I haven't ever thought to myself what the difference between good and great was. I never thought about this because it isn't something that you think about in a daily basis.
3. My high school experience will be good. It will be good because I will do my best to try to make the best out of it. I will do this by accomplishing my school goals which are to have perfect grades by the end of each semester. Also, my high school experience will be good because I will do all I can do to have fun but at the same time keep up with my grades. Doing this will make my high school not good but great.
I am not okay with mediocrity my heart yearns for greatness. This is because I don't want the average I want the above normal. I want to reach for top. This is also because I want to prove many people wrong. Doing that will make me reach to greatness and that will make me a happy person. My heart also yearns for this because I want greatness.
4. This matters because it motivates you. This motivates you to strive for greatness not just good. This helps a lot because we all need to realize that we need to let somethings in order to reach for greatness. Also, this matters because it gives us knowledge on how to do you. Also, this helps you realize that you have to do yourself and that the people that are really down for you will stick along.
I can apply these concepts to my life by keeping in mind that I have to keep pushing forward until I reach greatness. Also, I have to keep in mind that I have to risk losing some people in order to succeed. And at the same time I find that good because I will see who really supports me and who doesn't. These concepts can also be applied to my life by me keeping in mind that it will be hard but if I do what I have to do I'll accomplish it.

ReplyDelete2. I think good means doing everything to a limit. You don't do anything like extra work. You only do what u need to do. Great means u do extra and do ur best always.
3. My High School experience would be good. I want to save my greatness for college because that is wear I have yo step my game up. I'm not really worried about High school but college I'm a bit worried and excited. High school is good for my socializing skills although.
Good means I can go to a college with about a 3.0 or above GPA. I can always start soft. I have to finish strong though. I don't to be mediocre but if I have to be mediocre to get a degree. I'm up to the challenge.
4. I can apply this to my life by telling my self to be be great. Greatness doesn't just happen over night. You have to earn it by hard work. Eric always say it and he's right. I always have to keep going in life.
It matters because it helps me in my everyday life. It helps me do better with my homework and schoolwork. I won't make excuses. I have to take responsibility for my actions as an adult. That is why this is important.

ReplyDelete2. Good is average but it is not good at all. Great is more of what is expected. Great is beyond normal it over passes normal.
3. My objective is to be one of the best students. I don't want to be average or below average. I don't want to identify my self as another person in this world. I also don't want to be in the bottom of the food chain. If i'm in the food chain i might as well be on top of it.
No i am not okay mith mediocrity. I always try to do my best in what ever im doing. Sometimes i achieve my goal but not all the times. Sometimes in competitions other people win instead of me but i use the loses as more knowledge. I would anylyze what i do wrong and change it until i when. Once i win, i would analyze how i can inprove by doing the activity faster and better.
4. This matter in many ways. It makes me realize what i want to do and be in this life. It makes me realize that just because many people are average it does not mean i have to be average. I should not let any excuses stop me from reaching my goal of who i want to be in life. Even though it might be hard it is doable.

ReplyDelete2) The differences of being good and great is that doing good is that your doing a okay amount of work. Being great is that your pushing yourself over the limit and doing more stuff. That the different between being good and being great.
3) For my high school experience is that being just good. I'm okay with just being mediocre. The reason why because if you start being really good then people will expect more from you. That good but what if you slip up, then people will think you as a failure. It just good to do just okay to be safe. That how my high school life is going to be.
4) This concept of being good or great matter in your life. If you don't do well in life, you'll failed in life. If you work hard then you'll be reward with lots of amazing stuff and a happy life. Also, if you work in a normal matter, then you'll have limited option. The reason why since you're working with a little amount of work, you'll never get your dream life. That why the concept of being good or great matter in your life.
You can apply this concept in your daily life. First, do your work with lot of hard labor into it. Doing this will make you more smarter with the concept of the work. Next, do extra credit on work like a job or school. Doing this will make other people notice how you can handle extra work, which is good because you'll be able to apply for more career in the future. That how you can apply the concept into your daily life.

ReplyDelete2. The difference between being good and being great is that when you are good you do what is necessary. When you are being great you do what is necessary and more. When you are good you don't really make sacrifices but, when you are great you do.
3. I believe that good will get you to a certain level of success and not the highest. I believe that greatness will get you to the highest level of success. When you strive for greatness you will most likely get to the highest level of success. It is better to strive for the highest level of greatness so, that you can be at the highest level of success in life. Being good is like not getting out of your comfort zone. You continue to do what you are doing because you "good." In reality you aren't going to get anywhere in life with just doing good.
I strive for greatness because i get out of my comfort zone at times. I get out of my comfort zone because if i stay in my comfort zone i'm getting no where. Getting no where is being good because i'm just giving minimal effort. When i strive for greatness i do the most that i can possibly do. In conclusion i believe good will get you no where and greatness will open many doors.
4. This matters because you need to know the difference between being good and being great. That being good and being great are two different things. It matters because when you know the difference it can help you achieve the highest level which is greatness. Knowing the difference can also guide you to do the most. It matters because when you are doing the most you can be aware that you are striving for greatness instead of having the mindset that you are doing good.
I can apply the video to my life by knowing that if i strive for greatness i will most likely get somewhere in life. I can apply the video to my life by knowing the difference between being great and being good. Also just not by knowing but, by doing something to your greatest potential. For example, lets say i have an A in a class not an A+ just an A I'm doing all the work i'm just not doing it to my highest potential that would be a good student. A great seeking student or an A+ student would do the amount necessary and more.

ReplyDelete2) The difference between good and great is that great is good, but great is what is expected. Great is better then good because great you get more opportunities. Being great is people's expectation of you.
3) My expectation is to do the best i can in high school. I want to be a student who gets good grades and who does all his homework and who passes test's. I want to be an great example to my little sister because when she goes to high school and if she needs help with something I can help her. If shes having trouble doing something i will be there to help her. I want to be a role model to my little sister.
I am not okay with being below average because i want to be a successful person and because i want to make my mom proud of what i accomplished. I want to do something that she has never done. I really want to go to college and be successful. Then i will go to the military and be a engineer.
4) This matters because I have a opportunity that some people don't even have. This is important because i know for a fact that people always say that they want to be successful but their actions don't show them that they want to be successful. Just like Eric Thomas said "If it was easy everyone will do it". But its not like that.
We all have to earn something we want. Nobody in this world can tell you what you cant and can do. The only way that we can earn something in life is by working hard and grinding.
1. Notes & video
ReplyDelete2. The difference between being good and being great is that being good at something but not enough to be great. Great is over good because your excessively pushing yourself to do better in life and over come just "good". I have considered this question before in math since i was doing poorly in the beginning i pushed my self and i understand it a bit more than what i used to.
3. My high school experience is going to define any decisions i do for myself. Its going to define how i do in test and if i do homework. If I'm good at something but not great i need to overcome the good and master the objective. If I'm already a master at a certain objective its better for me because i don't need to worry about it i understand the subject. Once i know i master it i need to work on other objectives i cant let those objectives bring my future down.
I cant be a mediocre i am yearning for greatness because i cant let myself be like others.. simple. I cant just live like others a simple and regular life just getting by because i want more for myself. If i want more for myself i need to do good in school and try my best to get the future i want i cant let myself down. Others can get passing grades but i don't want that i need to have good grades because i want more for myself it will all depend on me. I want to be greater than others and for all those people that said I'm not smart enough.
4. This matters because I'm putting goals for myself and i will achieve them. If i don't want to be like others, working all day and getting just four hours of sleep then i need to work hard in high school. I have to remind my self that everything i do and get will pay of in my future grades, work, participation, and my decisions. I cant let foolish things distract me if my friends want to hold me back and risk my grades i have to let them go, i don't want to be like them i want the best for myself. There trying to hold me back because they want me to be like them and i cant let that happen i want a good future. Whatever i want in life i need to make a list and i need to keep that as a reminder everyday so it will give me energy and get trough my day trying my best.
I can apply the message to my life to make it better by making sacrifices, i need to make sacrifices so i can get better things i cant let fear stop me from that. The hard work i put in something will pay off not just for my present but for my future as well, hard work is they key to success. I need to motivate myself to do better everyday which may improve my life. Every grade level will start to get harder so i need to build good habits which will improve in my future because i cant let bad habits hold me down. Everything i do now will affect me later on so i will always keep that in mind.

ReplyDelete2.The difference of being good and great is good is your average trying but great is the next level to good ad that what you want to hit not good but great. I have not considered this question because i never thought of the difference of good and great.
3.My high school experience is going to be good, but I want it to be great.I want it to be great because this is where the colleges reflect and how they place in the future if you want to go to college.If you are doing great in high-school that's just one step closer to a very high end and great college. College depends all on how you do in high-school. Your paycheck depends on your high-school and your effort I believe i strive for pure greatness and greatness only, if you are willing to sacrifice anything to be great than you will succeed.
4.This message matters a lot because people go for an average score.When you are really suppose to strive for greatness. When you go for greatness that means you want it more than anybody else. This applies to my life because that means I could still prepare myself for college. This tells me never go for the average and go for the greatness.This message could make my life better because i always try to go for the average but know i know thats its better if i try just a little harder.
1.The difference between being good and great are great exceeds good.And good is known as okay to some people.And great means you did something amazing or something exceeding the normal standards.
ReplyDelete2.My school life will be defined by the choices I make in my life.It will be define by not being just good on what I do.It will be define how great I can be building onto the skills I have gained.If I be the best on everything I wouldn't have time to build my skills in something I love doing.That's why I rather build skills on areas I am good in life and then work on areas I need a bit of improvement in.
I would not be okay with being mediocrity because I would not go far.I also would've been know for my flaws instead of my achievements if I was a mediocrity.A mediocre person would be known as a person who does notice the reality of their situation and would not improve.I would like to be a person like that.I want to achieve greatness in my life and make the best of it.Because I don't want to waste my life not achieve anything.
3.This matters because I want to go far in life.And if I don't it would be because I was only good or okay in my life.I can apply this to to my life because by trying to be great instead of a okay in my life.Also learn to build up on my skills.Since I will be needing those skills in my life.
I need to improve on more of my skills.Since I require them in life to go forward.Also to be great in my life.Or I would end up like a mediocre person who does not improve in their life.I want to be known for doing something great in my life not by being not very good in my life.
2. The difference between being good and being good and being great is that good people are alright. Great people leave a mark on this world. Not only that but they let others know they were here.
ReplyDelete3. My high school years are going to be defined as being one of the best. I see it like this. If you are not one of the best, then you are one of the worst. In life, you either make a name for yourself, or watch your peers succeed. You don't get a badge for participating. You don't get a gold star for trying either. Life is a competition, so you either get a trophy, or you walk away as someone who couldn't match up.
With that being said, I am not okay with mediocrity. I do not want to be that person who is alright. I want to make a name a name for myself. I want to do great things in life that will benefit me currently and in the future. Being mediocre, is like a competition. You have to compete with other people who alright in life whether that is for a job, a school spot, a raise, etc. But when you are great, you do not have to struggle. You do not have to compete with others to see who will accomplish that dream.
4. This message matters because in the video it says that in order to be successful, you will have to sacrifice something. Whether that is your friends, family, sleep, social life, etc. Doing this will allow you to block out all of the things that are distracting you from being great. Being great is way better than being average or mediocre because it takes away competition and it takes away the struggle from life. And because of this, it allows you to better yourself and “Make the rest of your life the best of your life.”- The Hip Hop Preacher E.T.
I can apply this to my life today by studying really hard. What this does is force me to sacrifice my phone, sleep, family, friends and all the things that are prohibiting me from being great. When I study, I get better test and quiz scores. Over time, this adds up and it allows colleges to acknowledge me for the great person that I am or will soon become. When I go to college, this opens many doors for me to pursue my dreams and goal. So by sacrificing certain things, and not settling for averageness and mediocrity, it will allow me to become the great person I have always wanted become and do great things in my life.

ReplyDelete2. The difference between good and great is the amount of commitment. Good is below great. Good is not bad, but great is amazing. And no, I have not thought about that question.
3. My objective is being the best I can be. I want to do this because if I do the best, I have a better chance of being successful. I can get to a good college, graduate, and have my dream job. If I do not try my best, I would only do a half-as job. But if I try me best it becomes full, not half-as.
My heart is yearning for greatness. I want to be great. I want to be the best there is. My Mom came from another country. I am not going to make her trip worth nothing. I am going to do my best I can do, and make her proud.
4. This matters because it shows you that to be truly successful in life you must not only be good, but great. Great is what you should strive for. It also matters because it tells you that you need to sacrifice things to succeed. Things like electronics, sleep, and friends.
I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better by doing things better than I do them now. Even if I doing well I will still make it better. It will help make me a person that you would describe as intelligent and successful. I can also use these concepts to help me succeed by sacrificing things and getting success in return. Then I will be truly successful.

ReplyDelete2. The difference between good and great is that when you are good you have the qualities that is required of you to have but when you are great it means that you have qualities that is required of you. Being good is not a bad but it means that you want to be desired of, you want to be approved of which means that you are limiting your potential. When you are great it means that you are above average, you have a lot of access to a lot of things and you have ability above average.
3. My high school experience is going to be the defined by my greatness and I am not going to stop at anything to make sure that it is that way. My objective is to be one of the best and living high school the way that I want to live it and not let anything get in the way of me doing that. I want to be one of the best and my high school life to be defined as something that is great because I found it as one of the milestone that I have to pass to move on to the next one and above all of it why wouldn't I want to have a great high school life. I found it fun to be extra ordinary than being ordinary and mixing in with the people, that it is more fun to be myself and end my high school life with a sense of accomplishment.
I am not okay with mediocrity because it is not how I want my high school life to be, I want my high school experience to be a great one so that one time I can look back and remember the good times that I had and just feel a sense of accomplishment. My heart and body are yearning for something great, something out of this world something that will make me feel complete. My high school life is going to be great because I am going to make the best out of it and nothing is going to stop me from doing that.
4. This matters because to make this a reality I need to have a why, I need to know why I am doing this so that every time that I feel like giving up I will remember the reason why I am doing this and I won't give up and I will keep trying my best. When a great opportunity appears right before my eyes I would take it because opportunities only last for a limited a time, it doesn't last a limited time and that's am willing to do whatever it takes to make sure my dreams become a reality.
I can apply this message to make my life better because it would lit up many opportunity and many to ways to something great and I have to make a decision that will change my life forever so I have to able to be willing to accept whatever lies ahead with my decision. In this life to be able to move on and go to the next level I need to sacrifice somethings in my life because sometimes the things that are closet to you are the things that you need to let go in order for you to be free. You need to let them go so that you can be able to do what you want to do and need to do.

ReplyDelete2) I think the difference between being good and being great is that when you are good you're only doing the basics, but when you are good you're doing the extraordinary. I've never considered this question because throughout my life I haven't faced any situation where it comes to being good and great. The only thing that I have faced is how to be successful in life.
3) I think that my high school experience is going to be defined as me being good because my freshmen year, which is the year that I am in now, is just the beginning of my high school career. It is the year that allows me to prepare for what's coming at me. Like for example, this year is going to allow me to prepare for the hardships that I'll have to face throughout high school. Not everything in high school is going to be easy as it seems. Some stuff I'm going to have to work my hardest to earn the grade that I deserve.
I think my heart is yearning for greatness because it wants me to be successful in life. It wants me to accomplish all the goals that I have for the future. When I'm successful, it also helps me succeed in what I have to do. It helps me to progress in life and be ahead of others. Being ahead of others will not make me a better person or a winner. It will just make me be successful.
4) This matters to me because it is trying to explain to people what you have to sacrifice to be successful. Not everything that you think will get you to the next level. For example, your phone is not one thing that will help you progress in life. Instead it is just going to bring you down and prevent you from doing what you got to do. It is just a distraction to you. Sacrificing things to get to the next level will help you progress in life and it will also help you to be successful.
I can apply this message to my life to make it better because the really good advice that E.T gives in this video about how you need to sacrifice things to get to the next level will help me to prevent to prevent the thing that I know are holding me back in life. Like my phone for example, it is a distraction to me when I do my homework. Sometimes I can't even do my homework comfortably because my phone is ringing all the time saying that I got new messages. At times when that happens I feel like if there is something in my head telling that I have to answer that phone, but I know what right and what's wrong for me. I know that I have to get my work done in order to be successful in life.
1. The difference from being good and great is that good is not going to the next level. Great is going to the next level because it's bigger than good. I have considered this question all the time.
ReplyDelete2.My high School experience is going to be defined by me being one of the best.High School is the next step for college and the real world because out there no one is going to baby you like they did in elementary school. In High School it is important that you get your diploma because what ever job you are going to have after college they want to see that you graduated from high school.
My heart is yearning for greatness because i want a good future where i graduate from high school, I go to college, and i have a great job.All of this is important because people in my family didn't get to go to college and i don't want that to happen to me like it did to them.
3. This means that you have to prove to your self that you are able to do it. Start know because the people you love might one day live you because of your choices.Everyone is so confident until they see what is happening. People like to put things aside to do later but when later comes they don't want to do it.They wait till the last minute to do it and then they wonder why they got a low grade and then started to see what was happening.
I can apply this to my life because i sometimes wait to the last minute to do things when i shouldn't. I need to start know with turning in my work instead of waiting to do so.i want to make it to college put to do so i need to start focusing on my work. I am going to change my was of doing things so that i can bring up my grade and not be like some people in my family and not go to college.

ReplyDelete2) For me good is just mediocre, being great is all I strive for. If your really trying to fulfill something in life do it in a great way. I ask my self this question all the time and it helps to motivate me.
3) In my high school experience i will always try to do the best i can. In the beginning i started off strong and I held it for a good amount of time. But the work started multiply I started slacking and got myself in a tough spot. I'm trying to get back to where I was in the begging, it wont be easy but I will do all that I can to get my grades back to my expectations, the best.
Mediocrity for me is just basic. Being, basic for me is not exceptional. Growing up I was taught to always strive for greatness, if your going to do something, at least be the best at it. I had lost my way in the beginning but no more, i'm going to be the best me I can be. My heart is yearning for greatness.
4) This really helps because it really pushes you to be your best. It really opens your eyes, it helps you see another side. If your going to do something commit to it all the way. If your "serious" about something, show it, give it your all. If you give it %110 you won't be let down, and the feeling will be amazing.
I can apply this to my life by really doing my best to anything that I commit to. It can be anything, it won't matter, my best will be put into it. School is really important and I really need shape up with my effort. A 2.0 is just mediocrity, 3.0 and above is what i'm looking for. Matter a fact 3.0 should be worst case scenario. I will be the best me I can be.

2) No, I have not personally wondered about this question. I think that the difference between good and great is that good is average and great is outstanding. When someone compliments you with the word good, it typically means that it is decent.
3) My high school experience is going to be defined by my objective to be one of the very best. If you think about what you are good at and compare to around 300 other students, there will likely be someone who is equal to or above your capabilities. I think that high school should be a time where you truly try to discover who you are and your maximum capabilities. Try to find why you are unique and how you could use that to benefit your future. You shouldn't just aim to be like everyone else and should aim to be better.
I personally want to achieve greatness in high school. I want to be able to look back during gradulation and be able to say that I was productive during these four years. This is not only to get into a good college, but also to get rid of some of the self-doubt within me. I want to be able to make those proud of me and confident that I will become a successfull adult in the future. Being one of the more higher up in the class ranks definitely makes someone look accomplished and only the greatest students are up there.
4) This matters because we should all aim for greatness in our lives. We shouldn't just live life without any purpose because that isn't truly living life. Everyone should be constantly striving to be the best they can be to become more successful. The greatest things that you do will last longer than any mediocre action.Even though it is difficult to be great, struggling is what helps us grow as a person.
I can apply this to my life by maintaining good grades in school. I shouldn't just be happy with a C because I know that I can do much better. I should always be striving to reach high grades in all my classes in order to achieve greatness. If I stay as an average student, I will always get average things in life. At this point, I don't have any more time to slack off and should instead be looking towards my future.

ReplyDelete2. The difference between being good and being great is huge. Being great means you excel, go above and beyond the expectations.However being good just means you are meeting expectations, you're trying hard, but not hard enough. The difference can make you reach new heights, if you're good at something, you will never bring much attention to yourself. You wont be able to achieve greater things or dreams you want to come true. If you're great, then you will be able to bring attention to yourself, you will be able to achieve some of the things you consider impossible to do.
3. My objective is to be on the top 30 of my class. I want to b able to make my family and friends proud of myself by achieving high grades in all my classes. i want to have a good record in order to get into good colleges and have a brighter future than the ones my parents had. I don't want to settle for being okay, or good. I want to go above the expectations and get amazing SAT scores and great grades. I will not settle for any less.
I want to be able o be proud of myself in the future. I want to be able to look back in the past and be glad that I did all I did, because in the end the reward was worth it. I will push myself to my limits in order to get things done. i wont worry about what others say or do, because in the end I will be able to accomplish everything I had dreamed of.
4. I can apply these messages to my life by motivating myself to do great things, and push myself towards a brighter future. I want to have a great future, not just a good one. I can also be more determined when doing activities for school, by working on homework that is due the next day early. I will prevent myself from procrastinating on any assignments that I get. I will work with all my efforts to make my dreams come true, I will leave behind being "good" for becoming "great"
