"Stop worrying about whether you are going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what is happening right this moment."-Phil Jackson(11 world championships-coach, 2 world championships-Player, 2 High-school championships-player.)

The quote is attempting to convey the idea that an individual must focus upon their present objective in order to succeed. The present represents our current events, the decisions we abide by during the present can severely effect our future. Many individuals who are preoccupied with several unimportant aspects within their objective usually cannot devote enough of their time in order to properly complete the objective, these minuscule preoccupations can manifest themselves as obstacles within our lives if we are not able to prioritize and devote our efforts toward our present goals. Suppose a child is intent upon winning a certain competition he cannot properly cooperate with his teammates during the competition, this ambition therefore creates an obstacle within the life of this individual. Therefore we must be able to prioritize and devote our effort onto the present objectives.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Jackson

"Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition, the habit of persistence is the habit of victory."-Herbert Kaufman

http://www.success.com/

The statement is attempting to convey the idea that illustrates the value of courage, diligence, initiative, and persistence within an individual's life. What is failure, failure is the one's ill attempt at mastering a certain skill, while success is the correct attempt at a certain objective, this is the contrast between the two aspects of life. But failure also allows us to evaluate our actions and determine whether or not we can properly succeed, bu one can only succeed if he or she were to allow their courage to guide them through their failures, this can allow them to create ambitions, but they must possess the persistence needed in order to succeed. In order for an individual to succeed and evaluate themselves they need to allow persistence to become habitual with in their lives.

"Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement."-Matt Biondi
This statement is attempting to convey the importance of persistence within the life of an individuals. Persistence is defined as continuous effort even when adversity is imminent. I admire persistence and the rewards that can be achieved through the exertion of persistence. If we want to improve upon an activity we must exert effort and withstand several obstacles that may halt our development with in that particular activity. But first you must evaluate the importance of persistence with in your life, suppose you cannot execute a proper running technique, if you were to exert effort and persistence you will probably be able to master that technique, therefore in many instances failure allows you to understand the value behind what is known as persistence.

"Gold medals do not make champions....hard work does."-Anonymous author
This statement conveys the importance associated with the exertion of effort within our lives. Effort and the organization of our goals can allow to achieve success, also the displacement of effort and the particular goals are important aspects within our lives. Within life we are not given the reward until we have displaced the effort needed to gain that price or achieve that goal, so therefore our effort is the substance needed to allow us to achieve that goal with motivation being our stimuli, so if an individual were to lack motivation he would therefore lack effort. The image that is gained through our achievement is gained through the displacement of our effort.

"Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential."-Liane Cordes

Liane Cordes has provided us with a statement the conveys the impact the determination and effort that an individual exerts can allow them to unlock their potential. When any individual must accomplish a task we must exert effort, you cannot always rely on your talents, in order to accomplish a task effort must be exerted it is inevitable. Suppose an individual who is talented in the sport of gymnastics must compete against an untalented but diligent individual, they are given a few weeks to train, the talented individual feels overconfident and does not exert much effort during his training, the untalented individual trains diligently and this effort results in a win for the individual. Through Continuous effort talents such as intelligence and strength are gained and therefore theses talents can be implemented.

"When i was teaching basketball. I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make the practice a masterpiece  This rule is even much more important in life than in basketball. You have to apply yourself every single day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each day 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. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."- John Wooden

This quote is a marvelous example of the dedication that must be exerted in order for an individual to improve. If we expect to improve we must dedicate ourselves and exert effort, if we were to not exert enough effort for a continuous amount of time how can we expect to improve. There are several different aspects that attribute themselves with improvement  but the most important is the amount of dedication and effort an individual exerts. These traits provide insight toward the motivation of the individual. This quote's message can be implemented into our daily activities, we must apply ourselves and exert effort with in every activity if we wish to succeed.
