“No student ever attains eminent success by simply doing what is required of him/her; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.”

Charles Kendall Adams, American Historian

I believe this quote is true. Yes you can have success when you accomplish whatever it is you are doing the correct way but if you do it the correct way and a little something extra is better than doing it the correct way because you get to learn things and you have determined to beat yourself in doing something. Take for example basketball if you just practice until practice is over you will be good at it. But if you practice when practice is over and you continue to push yourself to be better than that right there is accomplishing something that you put the time and effort in which will make you a better basketball player instead of a good basketball player.
