what I learned from the first habit of mind was never to give up. I played softball and failure came a lot growing up. For example being a close game pitching, and your coach telling you to throw a curveball and myself shaking off he sign. That was because I was scared of failure and letting my team down. As Michael Jordan explains his struggles and failures he explains how that lead him to success. I've learned that it happen to everyone. Failure should make you stronger to become better at something not weaker. In the second clip applying past knowledge to new situations it showed how he went from using old habits to new ones. in past experience such as for such I have learned to not procrastinate like I use to. My homework would be done the day of which lead me to not do well on it, or just turning it in not completed. Doing things the right way instead of the wrong
thing is always the best thing to do. At times I tend to do what I think is faster which is bad, but I have learned the hard way and now do things correctly. The final clip striving for accuracy explains how achieving things is good, but those who just say it was ok should not be satisfied. I believe that is true I always try my best at everything and I have to be great at something I do. When I get something like that was Ok I tell myself I have to practice and become great. For example practicing my batting, I asked my coach if he saw improvement and he said you need more work. Hearing that I did not stop, I spent hours practicing to get to my best.
