Mr.C's Pondering Thoughts

If you don't even try success will never come.

If you say "I can't do it" ... then you might not ever be able to ... try.... HARDER!!

It's not too hard... your just not trying hard enough.

Failure with effort is acceptable .... failure without effort is not acceptable.

Don't limit your potential by not doing your work.

15 years from now you'll be 15 years older... but... only smarter if you work hard and do the work to get smarter.

Take ownership of mistakes.

If you hand in nothing you get a zero... if you hand in your best you will get my best.

There is no fear when you know what your doing.

You know what your doing because you learn it.

Being good is not by doing one BIG thing... it's by the thousand small decisions you make.

Good grades come when hard work pays off.

You want a good grade for work that gets done... but... you can't if you wait till tomorrow to do it.

Even when things are hard to do, it can still be fun!

You can be our future helpers .... start helping today.

When I say we will finish our lesson tomorrow (Saturday) .... lets just assume it really means Monday.... OK :)
