“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”

-Peter F. Drucker

 

In many occasions we start doing things that seem acceptable to us because we are afraid to stand out. Don’t make that mistake again, always start with what is right. Starting with what is right will help you succeed better and faster than to start with what is acceptable. When starting in a new school with no friends, often teenagers do what is acceptable to others to fit in. NO! Always start with what is right because in the end that crowd you desired to fit in will not be there. Another example is when turning in an assignment always do what is right, put all your effort into it and don’t turn it in late because it is acceptable, because later in life you will not be able to get rid of that bad habit.

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

-Anon

Gold medals can be bought; they’re just a symbol nothing more. Champions are made by hard work and dedication. In the Olympics you do not see the contestants receive a gold medal before the display there hard work over the year, but after. In any store you can buy a gold medal, with no meaning, but a true champion receives its medal with hard work and dedication. You cannot say you are a winner of anything without hard work.
