STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

"WHEN I WAS TEACHING BASKETBALL, I URGED MY PLAYERS TO TRY THEIR HARDEST TO IMPROVE ON THAT VERY DAY, TO MAKE THAT PRACTICE A MASTERPIECE. THIS RULE IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT IN LIFE THAN BASKETBALL. YOU HAVE TO APPLY YOURSELF EACH DAY TO BECOME A LITTLE BETTER. BY APPLYING YOURSELF TO THE TASK OF BECOMING A LITTLE BETTER EACH AND EVERY DAY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, YOU WILL BECOME A LOT BETTER. ONLY THEN WILL YOU BE ABLE TO APPROACH BEING THE BEST YOU CAN BE. IT BEGINS BY TRYING TO MAKE EACH DAY COUNT AND KNOWING YOU CAN NEVER MAKE UP FOR A LOST DAY."

THE QUOTE MEANS THAT IMPROVING YOURSELF TO BECOME MUCH BETTER IS BETTER THAN WINNING GAMES OR MONEY. HE FEELS THAT IMPROVING A PERSON IS ALL THE FORTUNE YOU NEED IN LIFE. WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT HOW DO WE EXPECT TO GET BETTER.
