Perfection is key

PERFECTION IS KEY

“Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.”

Vince Lombardi

As human beings we strive for perfection and to be on top. People think that if you only practice you will get better, but Vince Lombardi corrected them by stating: “Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.” Lombardi is known for greatness; he took a losing 1-10 team and transformed them into a championship team three years in a row. Vince Lombardi wouldn’t accept failure or slackers. He pushed his players every practice and every game, no exceptions. He demanded 110% every time they touched the field. Although Lombardi’s state of mind is more football oriented, his quote is applicable to everyday life.

You can apply this quote to anything from sports, hobbies and even school work. For a student struggling in math, Lombardi’s quote is particularly relevant. The student needs to go beyond the minimum class work required and complete additional problems on his own. By practicing additional math problems, a struggling student can work toward achieving perfection. I intend to follow Lombardi’s quote in all the things I do. Altogether if you follow this in everything you do you can become a better person.
