I am really glad that I took the time to play with my younger sister because she needs her older brother to talk things over with. Exercise I exercised three times a week for at least 20 minutes and my body is in better shape than ever. I now want to stay this healthy. I can now run three miles, without stopping and finish in the top two-thirds of any race at the end of my freshman year. Every day this year, I moved closer to my goal of getting into USC by studying hard, playing sports, volunteering in my community and expanding my art portfolio.
Failure is impossible.
Carol asked Maxwell to give serious thought to the next year and how he wants to shape his life, and to take the goal-setting task very seriously. The goals could remain totally private, but she wanted him to take great care in constructing them. He is to place the index cards in a drawer so that he can see the cards on a regular basis, but doesn't have to read them repeatedly, unless he chooses to do so. At the end of the year, he can review them and consider the extent to which he accomplished what he set out to do. In Carol's experience, just seeing the cards in a drawer served to remind, inspire and propel her in the directions she wanted to go.
