- Why does this matter and how can you apply the message to your life to make it better? [1-2 Paragraphs]
2.The difference between being good and great is they both have two difference feelings . I haven't considered the question because it never really came to mind .
ReplyDelete3. My high school experience is going to be defined by my accomplishments. Its going to be defined as how good in do. Why you ask , i feel like it would be a great accomplishment in class. My heart is yearning for greatness. I understand i may not be the best but i can get to that point where i'm close to being the best.
4. This matters because i can succeed in life. I have to do everything right first of course. I can apply the message to my life by focusing on what i have to do. Get what needs to be done first. Worry about other things that aren't important at the time. Succeed in life. Doing these things will play a big thing in life , it will help with many things as well.
2. The difference between good and great is that good is the step behind great. Good is a little less than great. Great is the overachiever. Great is more than good. That is what I think the difference is between good and great.
ReplyDelete3. My high school experience will be defined by me being one of the best because I don't just want to be good. I want to be great. I want to be known as great, not to be known as good. Good is almost hitting your milestone, but there is something there stopping you. Great is hitting your milestone.
That is why I want to be defined as the best not just by me doing good. I am not okay with mediocrity. My heart is yearning for greatness. Like I said in the previous sentences, I want to be known for great not known for good. I want to hit that milestone and be the overachiever.
4. This matters because it is a life lesson that teaches us to be great. It is one of the things we need to pay attention to in life. It will make a big difference in our life if we pay attention to this message. Another reason why this matters is because this will be able to push us to that extra mile we have been wanting to hit, but we are not strong enough. That is why it matters.
I can apply this to message to my life by not aiming for good, but to aim for great. I want to be able to hit my milestones. In order to do this I need to make sacrifices. If I make the sacrifices that I need to sacrifice I will be able to make it to greatness. That is how I can apply this to my life.
2. According to my personal experience i believe that there is a massive difference between being good and being great. I believe that being great is just being able to do something and have the abilities to do it on your time.To be great is to be that person who everyone looks up to because you always did the best and you accomplish and finish what you start.Not only are they different but they are also the same because these two person are giving there all to be able to succeed in life.
ReplyDelete3. High school can be hard and can be tough now i want always be the greatest and have the best scores at everything, i will struggle an have hard times but that is only getting me to where i want to be. those will just be steps to where i want to be and improve each time i achieve something.Not only will high school teach me many things but i will also know what my abilities are and be able to use them in order to reach success. I believe that in my high school years i can improve my self and be the best of the best and along the way i will have struggles and mistakes but i should be able to learn from them and keep going.
4. This matters because not many people know how to maintain their abilities and use those skills to be able to succeed. You need to know how to sacrifice things and not think about what its doing and be so negative, you should always know how to maintain that positivism and be able to succeed with giving chances.I must know when to take shortcuts and when not to take shortcuts because they can also be able to give you a shortcut to failure and that is something nobody wishes for.
Another way i can apply this to my life is by giving up chances and stop procrastinating in such things can benefit me. I need to wake up and notice where i am and begin to look at my path to success and and focus on only that because it all depends on me. Another way is by stop taking the shortcuts and just finish it through. I need to keep my focus and keep moving forward.
2.The difference between being good and being great is you barely put effort and the other is to put pull all you effort for something you want to succeed in something. I have never considered this question before, I have never thought about a question like this.
ReplyDelete3.My high school experience is going to be defined by me being one of the best at what I do. I want to be one of the best at what I do because it will help me make a name for my self. I am not okay with my heart with mediocrity because that won't help me with trying to being one of the best at the thing I do. I want to be known for being the best at what i do not just an average person. Many people just want to be good at the thing they do but they should push themselves to be one of the best.
4.This matters to me because this helps me thinking about wanting to work hard to be the best. I can apply this message to my life on many different ways. Like one way I can look back at this message and tell myself to push harder to be good. Another way is not to lose any opportunities and use all that I get to make myself better. This message helps a lot by giving me different ways to work harder.
1. the difference between being good and being great is that when being good isn't being your best but being great is trying your best. and doing things you thought you would never see yourself doing.
ReplyDelete2. i want my high school experience to be great and for me to put my best and my all into everything i do so that i can one be successful later. i wanna be the best and nothing less. i think im okay with being mediocrity because of my middle school experience and how things where a little bit more easier to get away with. my heart is kinda yearning for greatness because i dont wanna keep doing the same things and keep getting the same outcome i wanna do big things with my life so that i am a legacy and to show my family that all my hard work will pay off some day. \
3. this matters because if your not wanting or trying to do better youll always be stuck in the same situation and never grow. but if you do try than things will get better and you will grow i dont know no one in the world who wants to give up and who wants to doesn't want to be successful but at the same time u need to try you need to do your best so that u can at least say you did your part
2. the difference of being good and being great is that to be good is to know partial of some bit while to be great is to be great at all not half but all. There is a difference from a good person from a great person.to be good is to mentally know to be great is to work for.
ReplyDelete3.my high school experience is doing well i'm doing better then i was in middle school and it is much better then middle school.my objective i want to do but at times loose myself and then have to find myself again i wanna be helped to stay on track.i don't wanna repeat my middle school life i wanna make a difference in high school.
4.this matters because it gets to me and then i just wanna stay on track and try to do my best.i can apply this to my life but i cant promise that id do all my work but i will try my best to do it.i don't have the habit to do my home work but that's why ill now just remind myself i do have it.i know depending on my mood id do it or not.but ill try to get the hang of it.
2.The difference between good and great is good is something majority of people do and are comfortable with good. Great, is something not many people can achieve and they decided that good wasn't good enough they striven for something better.
ReplyDelete3. My high school objective is to be known as one of the best, one of the hardest workers. I want to be known as the girl who didn't have it all but gave it her all. I want to succeed where the others around me failed. Im not okay with mediocrity. I've grown up with mediocrity or worse. I will do whatever it takes to not be stuck on average. My heart is yearning for greatness i have to be The first to succeed in my family so i can set the example that not everything is given and you have to work.
4.This matters because you need to be your worse critic, but your best supporter. At the end of the day you need to push your self and tell yourself not to give up. I can apply this to my life by pushing myself. Experiencing my full potential and start having a schedule of all my work. Take the time to put my phone down and take my time and understand all my work.I'm going to take my time and go over and over to give my all to school.
2. The difference is being good is just satisfactory but being great is something more. Being great, is something you have to earn. And not many people sacrifice things which makes that person good not great.
ReplyDelete3. My high school experience will not be defined by me being good at things. I will work at being great. The only thing I am okay with is greatness. The sacrifices will be many. But the outcome will be all worth it. the lack of sleep, lack of friendships, etc. It will all be worth it if I can come out of high school being great.
4. This matters because many people are okay with being mediocre or satisfactory. But they should be aiming for more. People should be aiming to be great. Being great is what gets people places in their life. The leaders of the world are not just good. they didn't settle for being good, they aimed for more. So if someone were to want to do something extraordinary with their life than they must aim to be great.
I can apply this to my life by not settling for "good." I cannot let other people intervene with goal of greatness. I will not let others affect me, by saying that me being good is enough because I know being good is not enough. I will reach all the milestones and tackle them with greatness. I will have to make major sacrifices along the way, but they will be worth it when I have the ability to say,and truly, mean when I say that I'm great.
#2 Being good means you're not giving it your all and that's what being great requires. To be great you have to work a hundred times harder. Being great means not settling for second or third place it means that you're not going to quit until you come in first that's the difference between being good and being great.NO i have never considered the question before.
ReplyDelete#3 My high school experience is not going to be defined by me being good at something I'm going to be one of the best. i am not okay with mediocrity because i want something better .i am a musician and a writer. i want to be a world renounced author and the singer who has all those songs people really connect to. i have a dream and being average or a "one hit wonder" is not a part of the plan.
#4 people are telling me that my chances of making it are one in a billion . will i accept that? Hell no! I will make it i will keep trying until i do. i will die trying before i give up because i am a fighter. I DON'T WANT to wonder about if i tried because some one once told me " use your beautiful voice let it take you somewhere" and that's my plan.
2.If you wont to be great you need to sacra something to get to that hailstorm that mean not spending time with you're family and losing your friend sometime you need to make a sacra.
ReplyDelete3.In high school it hand to make it when.
2. Being good is being average. Being great is being better than everybody else that is not willing to make a sacrifice. This is why good and great are different.
ReplyDelete3. I'm going to be talking about me in this paragraph. My high school objective is being one of the best. I want this because I want to have a successful life and be good at whatever I want to be good at. My heart is yearning for greatness because i want to be one of the best on what I want to do. This is why I want to be one of the best and why I want greatness.
4. This matters in many ways. It matters because it tells you not to be good but it tells you to be great. Other way it matters is because it tells you have to give up something to be greater. The last way it matters is because it tells you that you have to give up your current blessings. this are the three ways this matters.
I can apply this message to my life in many ways. First, I can try to be greater. Next, I can give up something to be greater. Finally, I have to give up my current blessings. This are the ways I can apply this message to my life.
2)the difference between good and great is that great means that you accomplished more.I have considered this question.
ReplyDelete3)My high school experience is going to be the best because these years is going to determine what i'm going to do with my life.Its really what i'm going to be when i grow up and what what my job is.Also it shows that why be good at something then stop when you can keep going to be great.My objective is to be a football payer but my back up is going to be a lawyer.Those are my objectives because they will keep me from doing dumb things in life.
4)this matters because the things that put people in jail or in a grave are the opposite of my objectives.Also because these thing shows my hard work through life and that i did not stop till i reached greatness.I can apply this to my life by continuing my goal.By doing good in school and do what i need to do.Also staying out of trouble.
2) The difference between good and great is that good is just average or mediocre. However, great is exactly the opposite of good. Great is above average, great is doing their best and never giving up or making excuses.
ReplyDelete3) My objective in high school is to be one of the best because I want to make my parents proud that I do good in school. In order to move on to the next level, you must give up something (sacrifice). Life is supposed to hard not no easy living. We must give up in order to go up. All these things lead up to greatness, therefore I will try to accomplish these things.
4) This matters because many times people tend to just look at the present and don't think about the future. The video is telling us to give up our current blessings for our future blessings. The reason is because you have to give up to go up. You will not be great, until you make a great sacrifice. We must write it down and shut it down.
Nothing is easy, but everything is capable of being done. If everything was easy, everybody would do it. Everybody talk about it until it is time to pay up. If you give it your best every time and have determination, you will reach greatness eventually. So from now on, I will make a sacrifice so that the rest of my life is the best of my life.
2. The difference between good and great is that when you're doing great you're pushing yourself to do better. Also, being great is the ability to do many things not just succeed in one task. To do good is just to try and not actually succeed the task you have to do.
ReplyDelete3. I want my high school experience to be great, I don't want to settle for something that is mediocre. If my high school experience is mediocre, that would mean I barely tried to succeed in anything. I want to make my high school experience to be great because I want to make my mom proud. To make my experience great, I have to push myself to do more than just good. I have to put more than enough effort into my work and participate more.
4. The video matters because its telling you to succeed, you have to write it down and shut it down. It tells you have to be able to sacrifice your current blessings to be able to get more. Its going to be hard but you can't give up because it may prevent you from achieving. You may lose people and people may begin to call you out but you have to continue staying strong; you can't allow it to affect your progress. Lastly, as in the title of the video, you have to sacrifice good for great. What that means is you have to let go of the good you're holding onto right now. There is something better for you to achieve, but in order to get to the next level, you have to let go of the good you have currently.
I can apply the message of the video to my life by becoming willing to sacrifice the good things I currently have. I can learn to be okay with losing people and having people call me out on my actions. I can begin to use the method, write it down and shut it down, to get to the next level. I won't settle for good, if there is greatness to achieve. Lastly, I can say bye to my current blessings to get something greater.
1. The difference between good and great is that if you are good you're average at it like most people that do it. If you're great at something it means that you're at another level from good.
ReplyDelete2. High school experience will be important because high school is testing you for the future. So that means that if my effort in school is not enough for greatness i'm going to fail in life. Another thin g is that if i'm doing good my family will be proud and not sad if I was doing bad. Also in the future if i'm failing classes right now in the future its not going to be better for me when I have a job. What high school is doing for me right now is preparing me for college so depending on how i'm doing now is how i am going to be doing later on.
4. How this applies to me is because there is a lot of thing that I want to do but i'm not doing anything about it. You have to write it down and shut it down so you can get to the next level because that's the only way you'll succeed. If you want to get to the next level you will have to give up something. You can get greater opportunities if you give up stuff that is taking your time away. You have to look at the opportunities that you have and take the chance that you have. It is going to take sacrifice because without sacrifice you're not showing yourself that you want to do it.
2) The difference of being good is you don't give everything.If your being great you give everything you have. I do considered it a question because sometime you you need to know what you want to give okay work or great work.
ReplyDelete3) My high school experience is going to be the best because i want to do great thing. I want to stay at a 3.5 or more and I want to be known as a smart and great student. I want greatness because i want my future to be good and successful. I also want to go to my dream collage and do what I love for the rest of my life.
4) To give and work good and only turn in things that are worth it. Take my time and get things done. Do everything thats possible to get a good grade. Stay up if i have to never give up. Make sure i always accomplish my goals don't let thing bring me down.
2. The differentiates between good and great their are to different mean to it.I have never considered this question.
ReplyDelete3.My high school experience is going to be defined has how good .I'm doing in school.Is trying to be great,great like studying geting a best test scores.Tying me best to get good grades.One of the mediocrity is that their are easier and difficult think that sometime we don't get it.
4.this matter beacuse some times we think that good is like being great.And some times we don't understand the different between both of them.I can apply the message to my life by focusing on beening great.And how I can be great
2) The difference between good and great is that good is average, anybody can be good. Great is something beyond good and not many can be that.
ReplyDelete3) My high school year is going to be defined by me being great because I don't want to be average like most people. Being great can be unique and anybody can be good but it takes effort to be great. You have to be willing to make sacrifices. You will not make great without making sacrifice so that is why being great is great. Being mediocre is not okay with me because it's something that doesn't take effort and you need to earn your spot in what you do.
4) The video matters because people think that average is okay. People need to do whatever is takes to be more than average or being good. Some people don't realize that when they are doing good they blend in with others that is why you need to step up your game and take sacrifices to meet your milestone. I can apply this message to my life because there is so much competition in the world and the ones who do good are the ones who probably don't go anywhere. I can also apply this to my school because if I just have a 3.0 average I won't be able to get into any good university because top universities are looking for great students not just average.
2. The difference between being good and great is that good is something that anybody can do, but being great is going above and beyond than anybody else. No, I have never considered this question because it was never brought up to me.
ReplyDelete3. My high school experience is going to be defined by being good at what I do because I want to excel on all of my school subjects. Graduate on being top of the class. I want to work hard to prove that I deserve something big in my life. I need to prove my point by taking all of my chances and time to get an opportunity to achieve. It may not be easy, but by working hard, anything can be possible.
My heart is yearning for greatness because I want to able to get ahead. I want to prove that I can get through something and achieve it with my abilities. This can lead me to get my dream job and making my life better knowing that I have responsibility to do. In order for this to happen, I have to work hard because nothing is easy in life. Instead of sitting down and thinking about it, I need to start working hard towards my goals.
4. This matters because great milestones require great sacrifice. To get to the next level, you are going to have to give some things up. Sacrifice what you have now to get to great. Look at the opportunities you have now. You must let go of good in order to receive greater. You may be comfortable and doing well, but more can be had, if you trust the process and sacrifice good for great.
I can apply the message to my life to make it better by eliminating all distractions because I no longer lose focus when I study. I need to be willing to give up on my current situation to make room for what is to come. I must remain focused on the goal. My goal is worth more than what I am putting into it currently, I can believe in myself more and sacrifice. I can not give up until I make my dreams in reality. I will not quit because I want to prove myself that I can become great and I must give in everything I got.
2. The difference between doing good and doing great is that you'll only do what's best for you. But if you do great you'll have to sacrifice some things.
ReplyDelete3. No, i don't think that your high school experience is going to be defined by you being good at what you do because people change during high school and when their not in high school. The choices you make aren't gonna be defined how your high school experience was. I'm okay with not having exactly what I want because you never know if something better is coming your way. If you don't get something you want in life, something better is coming and you just have to wait for greatness to come. Cause that'll take time.
4. This matters because the video was telling you that sometimes you have to give up what you have for something better. So something better will come your way. If you want to get to the next level you have to give up a current blessing. It also matters because the video is saying how everyone won't get what they want. They have to earn it.

ReplyDelete1) To me the difference between being good and being great is, being good means you get 3 A's and 4 B's on a report card. being great means getting nothing but straight A's and not settling for second best. Being good means being okay coming second. To be great means you are gonna push it to the limit. No, this question has never came to mind.
ReplyDelete2) My objective in high school is to be the best because if i'm the best at what I do good things will come fourth in my future. If being the best means I have to give up many things to be the best then so be it. If my need is to stay up at 3 maybe 4 in the morning I'll do it. Being good is not an option when you know your about to fail. That doesn't cut it. To be good means its an okay job, when really you need a great job.
Mediocrity is no option for me. I feed for greatness and feed off of my quality for more learning and discovering new things that excites me. Mediocrity is just another excuse to why you couldn't study for a test or do the work that needed to be done. Mediocrity is word that most people use for other people who decide to not succeed in life but in different. I want to go to a university and have the life i have always wanted.
3) This matters because most of us settle for second best and not care of the better things you can get if you are best. This matters to me because if we try more than we should then you will be great not just good but great. This matter cause to be the best you can't slack off in work or training cause then your gonna wanna slack more. To me this matters because the best thing in life is to never quit and keep going strong to be that number 1 than a number 2. Lastly this matters because no one wants to be the understudy, everyone wants to be the star but you have to work for it.
If I apply this to my life I can not only reach my limits in life but be the best I can be. By applying this to my life I can work and work till i can't anymore so I can be the best and stay the best which I can get the best offerings and best jobs. Also by adding this to my life I can get the best collage and help my parents with the help they need. Applying this to my life I can start the new chapter in my life that states i became the best i can be instead of the good. Lastly if i apply this to my life i can never settle for second best.
2. The difference between good and great is that good is the step behind great. Good is a little less than great. Great is the overachiever. Great is more than good. That is what I think the difference is between good and great.
ReplyDelete3. this matters because if your not wanting or trying to do better you'll always be stuck in the same situation and never grow. but if you do try than things will get better and you will grow i don't know no one in the world who wants to give up and who wants to doesn't want to be successful but at the same time u need to try you need to do your best so that u can at least say you did your part
4. This matters because many people are okay with being mediocre or satisfactory. But they should be aiming for more. People should be aiming to be great. Being great is what gets people places in their life. The leaders of the world are not just good. they didn't settle for being good, they aimed for more.

I won't settle for good, if there is greatness to achieve. Lastly, I can say bye to my current blessings to get something great
2.The difference between being good and great is that when your doing good it means your good at it.But when being great at it,it means your doing your best.
ReplyDelete3.My high school experience is going to be defined by me being good at what I do.Its going to be like that because I don't care if I'm not the best as long as I think im doing good enough to succeed it's all that matters.Yes I'm okay with mediocrity but I wouldn't want it to be like that because I would want the best for my self.My heart is yearning for greatness because I don't want to be a failure.It's yearning for greatness because i want to be successful.
4.I can apply it to my life because I would want the best for myself.I would always want the best for myself because nobody would want to be a failure in life.Everybody would want to be successful just like me because its just a better way to live.Also because you have to earn and work for what you want.It also matters because you want to show everyone that you are something in life and be proud of yourself.
1.N/A
ReplyDelete2.In my opinion there is a huge difference between good and great. Being good means that you are decent and just average. While, being great means that you are above average, you are better than good. No, i have never considered this question.
3. My objective is to be one of the best for many reasons. One of which is because it could get me into my dream college. Another reason, is because it could help my future later on in life. My heart is yearning for greatness because it could help my future. In conclusion, my objective is to be the best for many reasons.
4. In my opinion this could matter for many reasons. One reason is this matters is because it could help you succeed in life. Also,you could learn that you need to give up what you have to reach what you want. You have to be willing to risk what you have now to get what you want. I could apply this to my life by taking risks. Also, i could put hard work into my goal so that i will be able to achieve it.
2) No I have never considered that question. Being Good is like being average, but being great is is being being better than everyone else. Every one can be good but not everyone can be great at something.
ReplyDelete3) My high school experience is going to define me by being my objective to be one of the best. My objective is going to be one of the best because I want to stand out from the rest of the students. I want to be noticed by colleges. My heart is yearning for greatness because I want to succeed in life and get a good job. So that I can help out my family financially.
4) This matters because many people dream big but they just stay doing basic things. They are doing things that average people do. When they should be doing things that make them stand out from everyone else. They need to do something no one has ever done. They need to follow there dreams.
This can make my life better because now I know that I want to stand out from everyone else around me. I want to stop living like normal people. I need to stand out and do big things. So that I can get a good well payed job. So that I can help my family out and find them a better place to live.

ReplyDelete2) Good and great are two different things. Good means your trying but not your hardest. Great is your trying and your trying hardest . I've never consider this question before .
ReplyDelete3) No it doesn't define you . You can be someone different at home then at school. If people define you because how you act from school then they want you to define them how they act at school. You don't how they act at home. You know yourself you don't need to tell anyone if you don't want to . I am okay with people thinking that who I am at school defines me because I am okay with that because I know who I am .
4) This matters to my life because I know that I shouldn't let people define me and what I do in life. It also matters to my life because we think what people tell us that define us no it doesn't you can be a different person at home. This apply to my life because I ten to let people define me at school I can make myself change and not make people define me because of what I do at school . This can make my life better because I can be myself without people judging me .
2. The difference between being good and being great is that if your good then that means that your like everyone else because your just average. If your great then it doesn't mean your better then everyone else it just means that your better because of the effort that you put. So you can chose to be good or to be great by the amount of effort that you put in. I have never considered this question.
ReplyDelete3.My objective is to be one of the best in high school because I want to have good grades and pass all my classes so that I can be successful.I am striving for greatness so that I can be one of the best in school. I want to be one of the best because I want to have good grades so that I can pass all my classes so that I can go to a good college. I want to do that so I can be successful in life and make my parents proud.
4. This matters because I want to graduate from a really good college to make my parents proud of m. In order to do that I have to do my very best in school and get all my work done so that I can the good grades that I want to get into college. I can apply this to my life so that after I graduate from college I will get a job and be very successful. I want to do that so I can make my parents really proud of me and what better way to do it than being successful.
2. The difference between being good and great is good is basic but when people say great they think of amazing work. I have considered this question multiple times before.
ReplyDelete3.My high school experience will be defined to be one of the best . In my opinion i thin you work much better if your competing with other people. It gives you a sense of working more efficiently and producing better work. My heart yearns for greatness because I love the feel I get when ever I finish something knowing that it was do with the best of my ability.
4. This video matters to me because I need to strive for greatness. I always settle for basic work. I know I can create amazing work but its hard because I'm used to settling for the basic work. I need to lose something to get something, everyone is talking it but not doing it . I need to stop hitting the snooze button and have the mentality to go to the next level. sacrifice something to get to the level where I need it . You have to be willing to take whatever it takes to succeed.
