“Improve Your performance by improving your attitude.”

Anon

I think this means that when you are in a bad mood you don't do anything right and when it comes out wrong you get more frustrated. However, when you are calm you get things done right and everything goes right, it is better to be calm when you do important things so you do them right.

“When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls—eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.”

Gilbert Arland

I think that this means that when you fail to meet your goal it is your fault. For example, if your goal is to get straight A’s on your report card and when it arrives to you at home and you see it, and it is not all A’s it is not the report card’s fault it is your fault for not trying hard enough and it is your responsibility for improving yourself. Improve your skills and it will be easier to aim better at your next target.

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 masterpiece. This rule is even more important in life than basketball. you have to apply 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 up for a lost day.”

John Wooden

I think this quote means that the more you practice the better you will be. For example if you have trouble memorizing something the only way you will be good at it is if you practice and practice until you have mastered it. I think it’s important for you to try your best in everything in your everyday life, because if you don’t try your best you will not go very far in life. Also the key to success is to have self--determination and belief that you can do what you set your mind to and that you will not stop until you reach it. And don't stop there once you achieved a goal you set another and keep going on trying to have a successful life.

“Improvement begins with I.”

Anon

I think this quote means that the first step to improving is you admitting and saying “I want to improve, I want to do better”. Because once you’ve done that it’ll be easier to improve on whatever you want. If you want to stop living above the line instead of below it. First you need to say “I want to……”. Also nobody can make you improve but you.
