“Gold medals don’t make champions… hard work does.”

Anon

I agree with this statement. Gold medals aren’t what make anybody champions, it’s the hard work and effort they put into it. A gold medal is just a symbol saying you accomplished something and here is my proof of hard work. Everyone is a champion, no matter what you are actually doing. Your hard work and determination are what is key to making you a champion and without it, you wouldn’t be getting a gold medal, not any medal at all actually. For example, if you graduate high school, it’ll be because of your hard work, and the diploma just says that you did it. If you didn’t graduate, you still tried to do so and had a lot of hard work. You still are a champion, just that you never received your gold medal, in this case a diploma.

Tips 3-5

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, get a snack. Then move on to the next project.

Goals

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalposts are.”

-Arnold Glasgow

I think that this statement is really helpful. This telling you that you need to know where you want to go before you even start. You need to know and you need to be willing to determine what you want. For example, if you start playing a sport, you need to know where the goalposts are or the place of score to win. You can’t start and automatically know where they are you need to search. Like you need to search for your own goals. When deciding where to go, you can either go forwards or backwards, but in the end it is all up to you, the decision maker.
