NEVER
''there is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil''
this means that  if something feels wrong then don't do it. and if it feels right then go ahead and do it because nothing wrong is going to happen. also if you did something wrong there is no reason why it should be right because you choose a bad decision.

                5 tips for success tip 5
Tip 5: keep a list of questions
When you feel confused about something your reading write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember teachers create assignments: they read the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.
Asking questions to you to the teacher and to others is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerse you into the material you are reading and therefore expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.
The philosopher sir Francis bacon said knowledge is power. Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book and a pen.

''when i was teaching basketball i urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece. this rule is even more important in life than basketball. you have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. by applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and everyday over a period of time you will become a lot better. only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. it begins trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.''

you have to keep on practicing every single day to make the best out of yourself and if you wanna be the greatest you have to try hard every single day and not give up. but if you don't practice every day then you will not be the best.

5 tips for staying motivated
To succeed in high school and college you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.
1. Focus on high impact activities
The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your work load before you start to tackle any of it. Then make a plan although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that the more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from them.
To determine what your priorities are rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example even though all homework assignments are important, studying
For a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task think of it as another step on your way to college success.
2. Create new challenges
Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to in you’ve done in the past think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year try a poem this time. For book reports pick a history book instead of another biography.
