"If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of the second, quit doing less-than-excellent work."
                                                               -Thomas J. Watson

What I think this quote means is that you always got to work your hardest and best every single day so you can be successful in life and to achieve excellence. Always believe in yourself and be proud of every work you do. Always do the best to be the best in life. If you’re doing bad in school for example failing classes but you still want to achieve something and try to be someone in life than start right now. Don’t wait until tomorrow or wait until your friend wants to. It does matter that you've been doing bad in school and stuff but as long as you try to pass your classes and get a good GPA now, you can achieve something.

           “Paint a masterpiece daily. Always autograph your work with excellence”

                                                           Greg Hickman

What I think this quote means is that you should always try to show you intelligence and the great work that you can do. Always show people how good you can be and to be proud of everything you do.  Also each day count and if your name is going on it, it should be perfect, and should have tried you’re best on it. The drive to success comes from within-search for what really makes you happy. Do the best that you can, in all that you do. For example if you do a project in class and you put your name on it. You should be proud of your work because people will know you by the work you have done.

         "It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference."

                                                         -Paul 'Bear' Bryant

i think that this quote is quote because it is true "its not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference." you always got to prepare to win and to be the best. you can always have the will to win, but if you are not prepared to win or you haven't practiced it, you will not get anywhere in in life. preparing for the future will help you succeed in life all the time. for example if you are about to take a test and you want to get a good grade but you havent studies or prepared for it you will fail and not pass. another good example is if you are in a sport and you havent practiced your skills to play against the other team you will not beat the other team. always prepare to succeed. preparing is choosing the right all the time.
