Blog Post #1: My Philosophies


 
  • Love what you do and do what you love.
    • I think that if you’re doing something then you should enjoy it. Otherwise, to me, it seems pointless. There have been times in my life when I haven’t enjoyed what I was doing, and I have made a change. It makes me happier when I enjoy what I’m doing, which makes my life better.
  • Success comes from hard work.
    • I’ve learned this from my parents, because I’ve seen that it’s how they live their lives. I’ve experienced success in both sports and school and that’s only because I’ve worked really hard at both.
  • When an opportunity presents itself, take it.
    • There have been several times in my life when I’ve missed out on great opportunities, because I was too nervous or apprehensive. Over the years, I’ve learned to take on any new opportunities, because I know I can learn a lot from them.
  • Worrying is a waste of time. It doesn’t change anything.
    • In the past I worried about almost everything, but schoolwork and grades worried me the most. I’ve learned that worrying doesn’t solve anything, and therefore, there’s no point in it. I now know that I shouldn’t worry so much, because most things are out of my control.
