Motivation in our final hours

My fellow Dramaclubbers,
We have but 8 more days to our SYF central judging.
8 more days to give it our all.
8 more days to work together as the SYF cast.
8 more days to achieve our Gold.
To us seniors especially, this would be our last and final production.
Let's not forget to make it our best.
I know that things might still seem bleak, and things might still seem unclear.
But there are things that we possess that must never diminish from our hands:
Our teamwork, our determination, our strength and our HOPE.
I know, the state of our costumes and props are still questionable.
And to be frank, our acting and dance moves could use a lot of polishing as well.
But we mustn't lose hope, as things are turning out in our favour.
Us seniors are trying are best to sort out the costumes and props, and Ms Amy has sorted out the boxes (thank you!).
As for the rest of the SYF cast, we only ask for one small favour:
Put in all your efforts, your commitment and your willingness to succeed. 8 days is not long.
We will have practices on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday,
and next Monday and Tuesday (before our actual SYF at 1000 hours)
We can do it, we can succeed.
And if you could imagine that feeling of achieving Gold,
I'm sure you'll find that deep down in your hearts, you really want to achieve it.
Let's set aside our egos for the next week and just work together :)
Coral Drama Club, WE. CAN. DO. IT.
Here are some quotes that I thought were powerful, and some, inspirational.

Therefore, we must aim for GOLD!

"There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either in or out. There's no such thing as a life in-between."
Elbert Hubbard
"To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing."
"Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear."

Are you really commited?

"To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing."
I find this quote very powerful.
Criticism is unavoidable.In life, we must dare to try.
Please do not take Ms Anne or Ms Amy's criticism to heart.
They are only trying to motivate and perfect you! :)
Anthony RobbinsPlease do not take Ms Anne or Ms Amy's criticism to heart.

"Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear."
Many people fear the ACS stage.
Why? What is our purpose there?
Focus on where we want to go and what we want, and that is a Gold.

John Greenleaf Whittier
"For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, "It might have been"."
We are not coming back to Coral to say "It might have been a Gold if we had worked harder." If we do not get a Gold, it will NOT be because we lack effort and team spirit. At the end of the day, whatever we get is based on how much effort we put in.
William Durant
"Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget about everything except what you're going to do now - and do it."
Henry Ward Beecher

Down the hill to bronze or silver, or up the hill to Gold?
