Student Success Statement #19

“Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write down what you want most and see it often.”-Peter Vidmar

The statement “Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want now.Write down what you want most and see it often.” explains that you should not stop trying to get your most wanted goal for something that you want at the moment. If you want straight A’s all semester and you have homework to do but you really want to watch TV don’t watch TV and finish your homework. If you decide to watch TV you won’t end up doing your homework which will cause your grade to lower. This will then become a habit and it won't help you complete your goal. If you want to go on a diet but then you get tempted to get a brownie don’t make the sacrifice because it won’t help you get what you most want. Such as Peter Vidmar he didn’t let anything stop him from getting what he most wanted. He may have had many moments where he wanted to sacrifice what he most wanted for something he wanted at the moment but he didn’t.
