Don't Be Late

Hey fellow students and Dr. Rivera! I was late again today, because I had an interview for TGIFridays. Hopefully, I will get the job. For the record, it is my second late class day for EN100. I will not continue this anymore. :)


Anyways, I'm going to state my quote and give it's explanation.


"No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and abova the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction." - Charles Kendall Adams




What the quote is saying is that people should not do what is given to them. Basically, we should do more than what is expected. If a teacher asks for a one page assignment, give them two. If you are asked for a ride from a guy that can't jumpstart his car, jumpstart it yourself. If someone falls and asks for help, carry them. Well, you don't have to. Just do what is expected and more. Because, that outlines what is given to you and the extra effort put in, which will be greatly appreciated in the short and long run.


That's all, folks.

    awesome quote and definition. Give more of what you can give. It doesn't have to be just a 100% of the job, it could be 110. :]
