Read the advice which was written by Cara
Grippa carefully. What message can you
get from it? Let’s discuss it with your
teacher and make a democratic discussion.
Success is a Self-Conscious Thing
It’s about being aware of
greatness and doing whatever it takes to
get there.
It’s about being drenched in sweat, after 80
minutes, knowing you’ve given
nothing less than your best.
It’s about looking your opponent
in the eyes, knowing you’ve out-hustled,
out-worked, and out-played them time and
time again. And most of all, it’s about
getting up and winning after you’ve fallen
and no one else thinks you can.
 Success is a Self-Conscious Thing

Hard work is a self-willing thing. No one brings the best out of you better than
yourself. Only you can ask yourself how much you want it. Only you can ask
yourself how much it means to you. And only you can ask yourself if you’ll do
whatever it takes.
Hard work is about being willing to sacrifice. Sacrifice selfishness, sacrifice
laziness, and sacrifice the will to lose. Hard work is never mistaken, but only
noticed. Hard work is about realizing what’s best for everyone, especially yourself
each and every day of your life.
Winning is a team thing. At no time does one player mean less than another.
Every single player matters. Every action you do affects others somewhere along
the line.
Winning is about seeing a team and realizing that for that season, they are
your life. It’s about being there for them, it’s about seeing them as family and being
willing to do whatever it takes. Winning is about spotting the goal and achieving it,
not for yourself, but for them.
Winning is the number one outcome of success and hard work. Do whatever
it takes.
