try your best.
- 00:03 - 00:07
I don't love to tell you that I have heard
- 00:07 - 00:10
this phrase a million times before and I'm sure all
- 00:10 - 00:13
of you have to right before that big sports game
- 00:13 - 00:14
difficult exam.
- 00:14 - 00:19
You've been studying for these moments of immense pressure, We're
- 00:19 - 00:21
going to have to perform to the best of your
- 00:21 - 00:26
abilities. You were told try your best at this point.
- 00:27 - 00:29
This phrase is probably just flies over your head because
- 00:30 - 00:31
it's soars over mine.
- 00:33 - 00:36
This phrase should be impactful, but it's overused and it's
- 00:36 - 00:37
lost its meaning.
- 00:38 - 00:40
It doesn't even register in my brain at this point.
- 00:42 - 00:44
Mhm. I think that a lot of us in this
- 00:44 - 00:47
class are always trying our best in every aspect of
- 00:47 - 00:49
life, but simply that's not possible.
- 00:51 - 00:53
There's a balance to the amount of effort and time
- 00:54 - 00:54
put into things.
- 00:55 - 00:59
Something's neither take priority or else you'll become a message
- 00:59 - 01:04
that person who is out of time and effort only
- 01:04 - 01:06
creating radio for things with no free moments.
- 01:08 - 01:12
You can avoid this by setting priorities and only really
- 01:12 - 01:15
trying your very best at the most important things in
- 01:15 - 01:17
life. What does this mean?
- 01:18 - 01:20
Try your best at face value.
- 01:21 - 01:23
It can mean put your all towards something.
- 01:24 - 01:28
However, it is much more than that and I'm going
- 01:28 - 01:31
to share three main aspects that will help you in
- 01:32 - 01:35
achieving your best number one.
- 01:35 - 01:43
Give it 100 and 10% 97 99 or even 100%.
- 01:44 - 01:47
You always need to go the extra mile on trying
- 01:47 - 01:47
your best.
- 01:48 - 01:51
This means when you were doing a math or physics
- 01:51 - 01:55
problem, you get stuck on a question, don't give up,
- 01:56 - 02:01
keep going, try again and again until you get a
- 02:01 - 02:05
different answer, understand what you did wrong in the question
- 02:06 - 02:09
and figure out how not to do that next time.
- 02:10 - 02:14
That's like extra 10% comes when you learn from your
- 02:14 - 02:18
mistakes. So in the future you will not stumble on
- 02:18 - 02:21
the same problems, making it easier and easier every time
- 02:24 - 02:29
school number two take failure in stride when you set
- 02:29 - 02:32
out to try your best or something, he was striving
- 02:32 - 02:33
to succeed.
- 02:34 - 02:37
But the truth is, failure is always the possibility.
- 02:39 - 02:44
When you have given 110 and you fail, it can
- 02:44 - 02:45
be devastating.
- 02:46 - 02:50
Speaking from personal experience, this is an opportunity for you
- 02:50 - 02:50
to grow.
- 02:52 - 02:54
Take that failure and learn to mature from it.
- 02:55 - 02:59
Failure along the path of growth is more beneficial in
- 02:59 - 03:03
the long run is important not to learn, let your
- 03:03 - 03:07
failures set you back emotionally or mentally ran optimistic.
- 03:09 - 03:13
Learning from past mistakes is very important and if you
- 03:13 - 03:16
never failed the first time it happened would be terrified
- 03:17 - 03:20
and you would have no clue how to deal with
- 03:20 - 03:25
it. So remember to take failures in stride as a
- 03:25 - 03:28
learning experience because that is truly how to give something
- 03:29 - 03:34
your very best number three, ask for advice.
- 03:35 - 03:37
No one gets anywhere by themselves.
- 03:38 - 03:42
For instance, Warren Buffett inspired and taught Bill Gates which
- 03:42 - 03:43
helped him reach major success.
- 03:44 - 03:49
Same as how steve jobs mentored, right Zuckerberg, everyone needs
- 03:49 - 03:52
a helping hand in their journeys to success.
- 03:53 - 03:56
There is no shame in asking for help and it
- 03:56 - 04:00
actually speeds up the process of achievement goals, listening to
- 04:00 - 04:04
other people's experiences will provide you with the insight you
- 04:04 - 04:05
may not have been previously privies.
- 04:06 - 04:09
Er this can look like gain a friend to read
- 04:09 - 04:12
over your paper or asking a question about a math
- 04:13 - 04:17
problem. You don't understand this advice from peers will help
- 04:17 - 04:19
you with accomplishing your goals more effectively.
- 04:21 - 04:24
Mhm So next time someone tells you to try your
- 04:24 - 04:27
best, I hope that it registers in your head and
- 04:27 - 04:30
you think of the three aspects that I mentioned, Give
- 04:31 - 04:34
110%,, take failure in stride and ask for advice.
- 04:36 - 04:38
I think this will help you in realizing your full
- 04:39 - 04:42
potential and how you can achieve such a greatness in
- 04:42 - 04:45
life. The future is yours.
- 04:45 - 04:49
So work hard, take risks, set high goals and tell
- 04:49 - 04:54
yourself you can achieve them because moments of immense pressure,
- 04:55 - 04:58
you can do this and all you will be able
- 04:58 - 04:59
to do is try your best.
- 05:01 - 05:03
Yeah, Tetanus is off.
- 05:04 - 05:06
Let me leave you with a quote from our own
- 05:06 - 05:11
teacher jones not doing is not really an option in
- 05:11 - 05:14
this life, so get out there and do your best.
- 05:15 - 05:16
