"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Participate in the National Random Acts of Kindness Day by doing many simple acts of kindness to others. Open the door for someone, pick up someone's dropped book, give someone a hug, write a thank you or appreciation note or send a text message, make a new friend, give sincere compliments, give someone a flower, tell someone you appreciate them, do chores at home without being told, etc.

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad."

Kindness: Help Others Feel Important

"Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, Make Me Feel Important. Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life."
Mary Kay Ash

Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm is having passion, zeal, zest, excitement, interest, and energy. For example, "He did his work with energy and enthusiasm."  Constant enthusiasm gets you to the top of the student success pyramid. You feel much better about yourself when you enthusiastically work hard, work smart, and work together with your classmates, teachers and others. Students with lazy bones don't accomplish much.

How do you become enthusiastic? You become enthusiastic by "Acting Enthusiastic." If you act enthusiastic then you will be enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is the major difference between being an Academic Champion or not. Be enthusiastic and Be Great!!

"The longer I live, the more certain I am that enthusiasm is the little recognized key to success."

Frederick Williamson

Enthusiasm

"I will keep pegging away."

Abraham Lincoln

Larry Bird worked so hard. He persisted day-after-day and kept pegging away. For every shot he scored in a game, 1 million practice shots preceded it.
