“I will persist until I succeed.” -Og Mandino 

This quote means that I will keep pushing myself for better until I succeed. Succeeding to me means that my dreams and my goals will come true which ever those goals are. Just because something did not go my way does not mean that my dreams will not come true I just have to keep pushing myself to make the dreams of mine come true. No one’s dreams come true just like that everyone once has hit a rocky road and has had to get up from it and sometimes maybe even without anybody’s help at all. Og is a good example of persisting because he wanted to give up and maybe even take his life away but life has your own path for you because something stopped him from doing this and know he is a famous man.

“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 unrewarded genius is almost a proverb

Education:  will not, the world is full of educated deficits

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan press ok’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”       -President Calvin Coolidge

This quote means that if you really want to follow a dream there should be nothing there stopping you! If you have determination nothing should be able to replace determination nothing because that is all you have. If you want something in your life you have to have determination in order for the thing you want to come true. All those famous people today that always had determination they never gave up even though they had a lot of doors slammed in their faces they still did not give up, so we shouldn't give up on following our dreams if we really want those dreams to come true.

“If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. AS of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.”

-       Thomas J Watson

Reflection:

This quote means that if you have goals start now to accomplish them and don’t wait until another day to start going for them. Your goals and dreams begin today do not let the future of tomorrow affect what you are going to do today. Do everything you can to do excellent work do not slack off in any of your classes and try our best. My media teacher told us that if we have goals and we want to achieve them we have to have the goal written in our heads and know that everything that we do will affect our goal, that is why you have to choose the right things for your goals. An example is that right now in most schools it is finals week and final grades have to be turned in so if students want to have good grades for their final grades they have to start with excellence today. You change your future and you decide what you want because nobody will choose your future for you unless you don’t want to.
