Obstacles need to be dealt with in the present before you can look into your future. (Phil Jackson Biography)

"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon."

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Lies. All lies are a fault which have no solid foundation, a lie is based of false scenarios that never occurred. Without a solid foundation there is no guarantee for your secure footing. Eventually it will crumble, corrode and wither away. Truth is the most solid foundation to stand upon. There is no source of fault, as there is no false information being given. Only the truth provides the most safety.

"Everyone is the architect of their own learning"
Claudius
There is a construct in everyone's lives. Some don't have the blue prints to their construct, some constructs are poorly made and others are sound. Nobody can create your building. Your learning can only be licensed by you and no other. You build on your learning to understand different concepts that are complex and necessary to compete and live in the modern world of today.

"Education is not a marathon not a sprint"
anon

Education is a process that takes years to perform. Everyday is a learning experience. This is not something that is limited to school or to housework. You can learn anything from anyone at anytime. There will always be those that will end early and stop expanding their brains to new opinions and ideals. Education comes to us by second nature and always be with us for the long run. IT will never be on a short stride.

Without an idea of where you want to go in life, there is no hope. It takes imagination to become unique and individualized. A man that uses his imagination has broken the box that he has been concealed in and can do anything he can imagine himself doing.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ' Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

-- Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of the United States

Coolidge being a candid yet, silent president was a wise man with this statement. Persistence is a trait that is most important in the characteristics of the human composition. Without persistence to break barriers of the human race, we would not be in the place where we are today. There are men everywhere that have the talent to do something spectacular, but it is uncommon for them to refine the God- given skill into something useful. A genius has the same problem of not using their full potential. Persistence is a game changer for the better. With persistence like in progressivism there will always be barriers that will be destroyed.

The hard work that you execute will be rewarded. The reward id the effort not who receives the medal. There are champions everyday in every moment who deserve a golden medal. A champion can be made anywhere through the effort exemplified to the greatest degree.

"Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential."
Liane Cordes
 Not all success is based on the ability to retain and practice knowlegde. Rather the ability to practice and persist, is far more substantial. Having the stamina to persevere is tiring and my even become exhausting, but in the end as all things work, to persist to the end will be worth the effort. One will never know what their true potental is uunless it has been tested and pushed out to its furthest limits. As the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise was not skilled physically yet it persevered at its own pace, passing the talented athletic hare.

Gilbert Arland
 We have goals in live, some are long-term goals while others are short-term. And when there is a variable that has not been accounted for there really is no blame aimed towards anyone but yourself. The goal does not change once it has been set, the only one that can change is yourself.

"There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil."
Ayn Rand

There is truth to this quote. There is not Grey area in a black and white world. Either what you do is correct of is wrong. Although it seems harsh to be separated by such a large divide, it is a line that should be avoided. There is no grey area, and people today try to mix the two side to make some middle ground. But there is no middle ground, you either do or don't.

"When i was teaching basketball, I urges my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.
This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can make up for a lost day."
--John Wooden

 As long as this statement may be it hold a great motivation towards becoming a better person. Every day, people should strive to mold into the best they can be utilizing the most of their abilities. As RalphEmerson highlights that conformity is what holds back the flow of human creativity. There is a moment when everyone has a moment of discomfort. But that is only natural to become and surpass your limits into something spectacular.

Mario Cuomo

There is always a gut feeling, a feeling of instinct and consciousness that over comes you before doing the wrong. ther is a gamble that you enter, and its realized when you stop to feel that gut wrenching feeling in your stomach. And that is your consciousness talking to you because more times than not, what ever you are doing to make you feel irritable, will be choosing the wrong.

The Three Don'ts
Don't whine
Don't Complain
Don't make excuses
-John Wooden

When there are thing that must be done, there is no use in hindering the process of their completion. What is done is for a purpose and should not be taken for granted, or unappreciated. Don't whine because in actuality its just a waste of breath, if you really wanted to stop; you would've already. Don't complain because nobody wants to hear it, the only person who is pessimistic is the complainer. And don't make excuses, the lack of commitment in the end effects not only you the most, but if you play on a team of any kind, you should be able to support your end of the deal.
