So what do you want to be?
Average?
Above average?

We all have a set of skills... And if we think about it we also have a fair idea of the skills of our peers ( and where we fit in)

Don't accept that you cannot improve

Nadia Comaneci - the Russian gymnast who scored the first perfect gymnastics 10 in the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

The real game is to leap frog above those around you.

Hard work is the ultimate key

But it's hard work with the understanding that you also have to work steadily

This we you actually reduce stress

And don't over think things

Use your teachers (and other resources) to learn what you need to do

Start there and get that right

And remember that this should be your focus

Then you can value add

What are you good at.... Use that to give you power.

It's almost too late to try and be good at everything

And don't underestimate what you have stored away that you forgot you were good at

Break things into steps

See each step in slow mo

And make sure each step is covered

Yes, we think we know things.... But Superman still forgets to put his undies under his tights!

You have to work

Steadily

Hard

Work out where you can add for the most impact and build skills and strategies to improve

And then work a little bit harder!

Teachers can give you lots of strategies to help you learn

But find out which ones work best for you and focus on them

Emphasis on YOU

What does a good .... ( insert the essay, engine rebuild, ideal first date... Here) look like, sound like, feel like

Picture YOU producing that

Imagine your work as being perfect

If it isn't, what you can you see that will make it perfect

You will encounter success and challenge
