Shoot for the Moon

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars."
-Les Brown

This quote can be interpretted in many different ways. For me it simply means this: Try your best, because even if you do not succeed, you can still say that you tried, and that in itself is something to be proud of. I believe that this quote can be applied to almost every situation in life. For example, let's say that your goal is to get all straight A's on your report card. If you truely try your very best, then even if you do not get all A's like you want, your report card will still be much better than it would be if you had made the decision to do nothing all semester. In the end, you can still say that you tried your very best. No matter what you are doing, you should do it to your full potential. Don't just do something 90%, do it 100%. Like I said, this quote applies to many different situations, whether it be trying to get all A's, beating a rival football team, or even something as simple as writing a blog assignment. Even if you don't win that game, or get that A on that assignment, knowing that you worked to you'll full potential is a much better feeling than knowing that you did not try at all. You won't always miss the moon, but even if you do, don't be dicouraged. You shot for the moon and missed, but you still landed among the stars.
