"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."

This quote means to me that it doesnt matter weather you win or lose. The the most important thing to do is to always be fair in life, always be honorable and do whats right. Doing these 3 things will make you feel good because even if you didnt win anything, you know you did the right thing. For example, if you cheat and you win you will feel guilty, but if you do right and be honest , and if you win or lose you'll feel great.

To me this quote means that in order for us to succeed with our goals, we must first set our goals. It will be easier if we make and list and set our goals, because that way we can look at them everyday and read them over and over again. We prepare ourselves for these goals by reading and practice them, we are one step closer to getting the goal reached. For example, we wrote 100 goals for this class and we read them everyday for at least 2 minutes and so far i have accomplished on goal and im getting closer to accomplishing one of my biggest goals. 

Progress Report On 100 Goals

So far I am getting close to accomplishing one of my toughest goals. One of my toughest goalsm to finsih the LA Marathon in 3 hrs & 20 mins or less.
