How Do You Judge Yourself?
The world judges you by what you have done, not by what you have started out to do; by what you have completed, not by what you have begun. Excellence is a life-style not an event. Excellence is not a sometime thing; its an all-the-time thing. You are not excellent once in a while. You don't do things right once in a while. You do them right all the time. Winning is a Habit...unfortunately so is losing. Its not a question of how well each person on a team works, the question is how well they work together. The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. Today, be dedicated t a cause greater then yourself

Why do I Succeed?
I succeed because i am willing to do the things you are not. I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shackled by fear, insecurity, or doubt. I feel those emotions -- drink them in and then swallow them away to the blackness. I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride. Pride consumes the weak, I will get up. If I am beaten, I will return. I will never stop getting better, I will NEVER GIVE UP-- EVER.
That is why I succeed.
Never Give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.
Don't give up just because of what someone said. Use that as motivation to push harder.
