Do Better, do your best


Do Better

Obama looking at the mirror

Do better. No matter what you're doing or what you are working on right now, if there is room for it, do better or try harder. To live is to do something with life, is to build, is to prepare the way for tomorrow and if you want to guarantee tomorrow, do better.

Don’t make the mistake of one day, when it is not possible to turn back, say to yourself: I could have done better.

Today is the day to do better. Look at your past, have you been doing little? Haven’t you been struggling as much as others or as much as you wanted? Do you have the feeling that you’ve been too relaxed? Do you think that with a little more effort you could have won some opportunities you lost in your life?

It doesn’t matter. What is done in the past is in the past. At this very moment think of one thing: to do better. From now on you won’t do anything else. Begin to give 100 percent of yourself. There is no beauty or gain on regret for the things we haven’t done or not done as well as we could have done.

No time to educate your children and grandchildren and you never had time in the past… Do better, make time starting from this moment; because if one day you’ve to bring food to your child in a correctional facility, know that the only thing that will pass through your head, is that you could have done better.

Be a better person, more complete. Achieve good results at everything, have a better social life, get better results at school, get better placements at work, give your best, do, but always, do better.

Doing means building. Who does better today builds a secure, stable, happy and durable tomorrow.

And whenever you're in the middle of something and start to criticize yourself for not doing things perfectly, or when you feel that your performance in something is being mediocre, don’t look at what is already sloppy, just do better
