Better Than Yesterday

My goal for my students is to be better every day. If we can always be better than yesterday, we always win. - Loy

How can we ask for anything less? How can we ask for anything more? It is such a simple idea but one that is so powerful. Like compound interest, we can build slowly towards our goals.

This works especially well when we start to get tired, lose patience, or start to feel ill because of all the extra fun those 30 little people bring into our classes every day. (Please wash your hands and drink some water right now!)

We can be better than yesterday. We can encourage our students to do the same. Some days we will feel like we can do no wrong and we won’t need reminders like this. Those days when we feel like nothing can go right are the days where we need this the most.  

Just one step further. 

Just one more try. 

We’re only looking for a little bit more.  

If on the grand journey of life we are trying to reach 100% of our potential and make good on the promise of our time here, then we are only looking for 1% better this year. If you break that down to each day, the hurdle is not much. We can do it and so can our students.  

Like our local market, 99 Ranch’s slogan suggests. “For 100%, we try harder," and we can strive to keep chasing that goal. On our worst days we only have to remember that we are just looking to be…

Better than yesterday.  

Have a great day!
