Sacrifice For Your Goals




Follow your goals and not the crowd. Former Olympic swimming champion Janet Evans said, “Sometimes I feel envious when my friends go to parties, and I have to go to bed. But my friends always tell me that the parties really aren’t that much fun anyway. Whatever I’ve miss, I’ve made up for. Most kids don’t get to go to the Olympics and win three gold medals. Its definitely been worth it.”

As a teenager, basketball star Kevin Johnson went to the gym every evening to practice. One evening the janitor said to him, “Kevin it’s Saturday night. Why aren’t you out at parties, like everybody else?” “Parties,” Johnson replied, “wont take me where I want to go.”
