A great message from Jon Gordon http://www.jongordon.com/ on athletics, yet more importantly, life. 

BE HUMBLE

• Don’t think you know it all. See yourself as a life-long learner who is always seeking ways to learn, grow and improve.

• See everyone as a teacher and learn from everyone you meet.

• Be open to new ideas and strategies to take your life, school and work to the next level.

• When people tell you that you are great don’t let it go to your head. And when they tell you that you stink, don’t let it go to your head.

• Live with humility because the minute you think you have arrived at the door of greatness it will get shut in your face.

BE HUNGRY

• Follow your passion, continuously improve, and set new goals and milestones.

• Seek out new ideas, new strategies and new ways to push yourself out of your comfort zone.

• Invest the time, energy, sweat and dedication to be your best.

• Be willing to pay the price that greatness requires. Don’t be average. Strive to be great.

• Decide to leave a legacy. Even at a young age it’s important to think about what legacy you want to leave because knowing how you want to be remembered helps you decide how to live today
