i.e. There were about twelve golf balls in this container. The man asked "Is it full?", the student said "Yes". The man replied "Wrong". He added gravel into the container adding to the golfballs and asked "Do you think this is full?", the student said "Yes". "Wrong again", said the man. Then the man added sand and asked "How about now?" and the student said "No?". "Good, you're learning" said the man. The man lastly poured his coffee into it and put the lid on the container. "Now it is full", he finalized. This is an example of our lives. The golfballs represent the values we have in life like our family, friends, happiness, etc. The gravel represents what's important to us like our job, school, money, etc. The sand represents what's unimportant such as using time efficiently, going out when you could be studying, going on Myspace when you could be looking up your science article, etc. Then the coffee represents that there is always time to buy a coffee for a friend and just sit down. What could you learn from that?

How can we succeed in life? Is it talent? NO! Talent is less important as you go through life. In order to make dreams happen you need to give yourself a vision. A vision allows you to see what it is you want clearly in your mind. When you create a vision, you make goals. Goals are the steps that it takes to make your vision become reality, once your vision is clear in life, then you have achieved your goal. Many people don't set goals. This means that they're scared to fail. This means that they want to play it safe, avoid rejection, steer clear of utter humiliation. But in life, there are plenty of setbacks and going over. In over to do this you need COURAGE; stnading up to get heard. Imagine your vision, your dream, waht you want in life. Imagine the feeling of what it'll be like when you accomplish your goal or dream. Studies show that 97% of those who write down their goals, they achieve it.
i.e. Michael Phelps. He's one of the most amazing athletes of history, he probably IS. They interviewed after he won his most recent gold medal and an interviewer had to ask how'd he set his goals up to be where he was. Phelps said he wrote them down so they stuck in his head. The interviewer asked how many of these goals did he achieve. Phelps said all of them. All of them, people. ALL OF THEM.

Everything we do in our life, is due to our habits. Humans are creatures of habits. If we want to change our habits, we have to COMMIT to changing something everyday. If you want to be something, be important, get to the high top, achieve your goal, you've got to do something to change or commit. We must adjust to these ways if we could. This paragraph makes kinda so no sense, but probably only to me haha. You need a sense of purpose in order to change something.

The single most important ability that a person needs to have in order to do good in life is responsibility. If you aren't responsible, how can you expect to get the job done, be picked to plan the wedding, make the most outstanding dinner, or just finish anything? Nothing's going to changed until you are able to just stand up and say "You can count on me!". Take responsiblity for yourself. People are weak and shouldn't be blaming others around them. No disciplin, no dilligence. These weak people want things fast and easy. We focus on the weak and our weaknesses. When we should be looking at our strenghs.
We all go through many obstacles we need to overcome. If you really want to know, in order to do good, it ALL depends on oru self talk. Most people only say personal puke like "I'm so tired, I'm so bad at that, no way I could do this, today's going to suck, etc". These are things that will SINK them. LIFE ISN'T EASY. Have you ever entered a room and you ask someone how are you? And they say "I'm tired, I wish I coudl go to sleep and not be here. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You get the point.
