“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement”

-Matt Biondi

Olympic Gold Medal Winner, World Record Holder

I think that this means that after we build our goals that we need to go on to do more. Dreams are just dreams until you make them happen. No you probably will not achieve them overnight. What you need is persistence. You can’t give up. Keep yup a good attitude and strive for what you want. Invision you making it happen and practice. Then you will turn the impossible into possible.

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

-Charles Ketterer

In think that this is an example of how we have the capability of controlling our destiny.  We often wonder what the future is holding for us but we are not aware of the power we have. It starts in our mind where are dreams and goals are developed. They show us where exactly we truly want to end up. They are our guiding point. Then we need to act upon them and take the steps necessary. I can’t wait around just wondering what my future will gold for me. I will make things happen.

“Vision without action  is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare”

-Japanese Proverb

There is no shame in daydreaming. We all have goals in life that sometimes we see too far off to even attempt. Under some of the circumstances it is understandable. Now, there is shame in acting without thinking. Like the proverb says, it is definitely a nightmare. It causes reckless behavior. If I drive without knowing where I’m going, no one knows where I’m going to end up.

“You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.”

-Michael Phelps

22 Olympic medals (18 Gold)

I think that this quote means that we shouldn't be afraid to dream big. The mentality we put into the start of our goals can determine the success we achieve and how we enjoy it. Things can go above and beyond what we want if we just consider the possibilities. Dreaming big should not be feared. It will elevate us to see how big the world is and how big our impact can be. 

“A definite worthy goal, combined with a positive mental attitude (PMA), is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement.”

-Napoleon Hill

Our goal must be one that doesn’t manipulate and compromise our character and values but instead exemplifies it. We need that bait to rush forward to our dreams. We need somewhere to go and work for. We also need to believe we can do it. We shall not waste time thinking we can’t but instead have strength in ourselves to push forward and think we are worth the effort.

Student Success Statement

"We become what we think about."

-Earl Nightingale

   Our thoughts are very powerful. They drive our actions. Our actions, and how we treat others and ourselves, are a representation of who we are. If we think bad thoughts than we become bad people. If we think positively then we become great people. We can use our thoughts as tools to drive us through struggles and right towards our goals and dreams.

Student Success Statement

I have three messages:

                       We should never, ever give up.

                       You are never too old to chase your dreams

                       It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team

-Diana Nyad, American Swimmer

Let not the outside forces of life get into our souls to hinder our spirits. Let not the tick and tock of clocks and time decide whether to hang up your dreams and wildest expectations of the fruit which you reap from what you love. Let not forget the wonderful people who have helped and scurried us so, that they have not let us thrown in the towel when we wanted to most.

-Janeth Preciado Vargas
