IF you set your goals, work hard with determination to achieve them, THEN you will achieve them in an extraordinary way. Read your goals daily and write in your Life Planning Goals Journal at least 5 minutes each day, and you will succeed. You will become what you do and think about.
Work hard each day. Don't be idle, for idleness is a curse, and it is below the line every time.
Look at this example of a Chicago teenager who set his goals high, worked hard to achieve them, and look at him now.
Enjoy the journey by working hard toward your righteous goals.
I had the special privilege, just recently, of meeting, speaking with, and listening to Scott Kunz, one of the premier marathon runners in the world. Scott has run more than 200 marathons. He has run marathons in 24 states, including a sub-3-hour finish at the Boston Marathon, and finished the prestigious Wasatch 100-Mile Solo Endurance Run 10 consecutive times. To run the 100 mile marathons, you have 36 hours to complete it. Can you imagine running a 100-Mile Marathon? And running it 10 times?
The secret to Scott's running success is cleverly nested in his training, his practices. He trains daily. His training includes running every day at least six miles. He runs at least one hour per day and from 5:00 am until 9:00 am on Saturdays. Weekly Scott runs 30-40 miles. The key to his preparation is the DAILY application of running.
Whatever goals you are desirous to achieve, if you work on them daily, like Scott works on his, then you will achieve your goals, just like Scott has achieved so many of his goals and continues to do so.
“For every finish-line tape a runner breaks -- complete with the cheers of the crowd and the clicking of hundreds of cameras -- there are the hours of hard and often lonely work that rarely gets talked about.”
Grete Waitz
For Example:
Pete Maravich, college basketball's all-time leading scorer, practiced 8-11 hours per day during the off-season.
Rick Mount, former National High School Basketball Player of the Year, practiced 5-6 hours per day during the off-season.
David White scored a perfect score on his Dental Board Exam after studying 1000 hours in six months preparing for the test.
CTR Inspiration: Choose the Right and graduate with honors. Seek higher learning by attending your desired college or university. WORK HARD to reach your dreams, goals, and ambitions!
Successful students are like successful basketball player-they:
Work Hard--Work Smart--Work Together. Watch and listen to Rick Mount's secret to his success on the basketball court that earned him "National High School Player of the Year"

Persistence
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
