Determine Your Self-Image
Meditate on Escalante’s words and the principles they represent. Then apply them to your life; they will help you determine your self-image.
DETERMINE YOUR SELF-IMAGE
The greatest thing you have is your self image, a positive opinion of yourself. You must never let anyone take it from you. Ask yourself:
What is the best way for me to protect my self-image, to fight off the negative forces and ensure that it stays positive?
DECLARE HIGH EXPECTATIONS
If we expect kids to be losers they will be losers; if we expect them to be winners they will be winners. They rise, or fall, to the level of the expectations of those around them, especially their parents and their teachers. Ask yourself:
How can I manage my expectations in ways that make me a winner — not a loser — and how can I help those around me keep their expectations as high as possible?
DEVELOP YOUR FUTURE
. . . I tell my students, you do not enter the future – you create the future. The future is created through hard work. Ask yourself:
What steps can you take TODAY to make sure you’re creating a bright future for yourself?
