Emerson & Thoreau

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." Ralph Waldo Emerson

To achieve any big goals, you must work hard and enjoy working for it. Nothing in life is free. If you do not enjoy what you are doing, you won't do it well, and if you don't work hard it will not be well done.

"Our life is frittered away by detail...simplify, simplify" Henry David Thoreau

This is basically my excuse for my terrible case of senioritis. I've been saying all year not to stress over the little things. If you get a bad grade on a quiz, don't cry about it. If you forget to do homework one day it isn't a big deal. Don't freak out over little things in life that don't actually matter in the long run. That doesn't mean always do bad on quizzes and never do you homework. Don't focus on the details, look at the big picture.
