Shoot for the Stars, You might get Lucky

I picked a quote that means a lot to me. This quote is from Brian Littrell. It says,"

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." This quote speaks to me in a major way. I think it is because I believe that something can mostly be accomplished by pure determination. I believe that if I put my mind to it I can get close which is what this quote means. This quote is saying that if you try your hardest you will accomplish more than most people even dream of, even if you don't get to your goal. The first time I heard this was during track. I said I wanted to Pole Vault 7 feet and I don't even remember who said the quote to me. I set my mind to it and made 6 and a half feet. Since then I just remember to keep shooting for the moon. Even if I miss I will land among the stars. This quote is extremely important to me and before every football game, soccer game, and track meet I say this to myself. This helps me remember that everyone makes mistakes and if I try to be great, I will at least be good.
