Student Success Statement
"Take care of yourself and everything else will fall into place"
Coach David Diamont
I think that this means that if you take care of yourself before anything and everything things will just be the way they are suppose to be. if you do not take care of yourself things will be allover the place and will not work out.
Some things that you can do to take care of yourself is stay away from trouble. If someone does something bad don't go along and do it yourself too. Another thing you can do to take care of yourself is be healthy. Do not harm your own body. Don't do things like smoke or drink alcohol.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 13
Part 13
If you feel you do not naturally have all those
characteristics, then do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your
own application. You can use meditation and visualization techniques to
Initiate your vision and they can certainly be learned
both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Simply visualize
your desired goals, that of being a star student, a champion of doing what is
right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and you’re your
dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives. Setting goals
and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt. You can
develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that;
that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 12
Fifty Habits of Highly Successful Students
What is important to
you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you
appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others
appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen
your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed. Some of the key
characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance,
prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do
not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At
the outset of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of
your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an
important role.
