ALL ABOUT BUSINESS
GUIDELINE TO SUCCESS
SCHOOL
Perfect Attendance - This represents resilience, dedication and responsibility. Attendance is a vital part to your education and is essential for you to grow as an individual. If at all possible, please make an effort to avoid being absent unless necessary as you will disrupt your mastery of nstructional material. *Remember: NO EXCUSES.
Citizenship (Character) - This is one of the most important factors of behavior in school. Everyone has rules we must follow and morals in which we believe that will determine your success in LIFE. Your character distinguishes you as an individual as the choice of behavioris critical in the learning environment. Citizenship of N's and U's are not acceptable PERIOD!!!
*Remember: ALWAYS THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.
Discipline - Discipline begins with your parents/guardian in the home; supported by the people in your neighborhood and community. Your behavior before, during and after school is a REFLECTION of YOU and YOUR PARENTS. Have PRIDE in WHO you represent and ALWAYS BE respectful to adults. If you can't follow this rule, you are not All ABOUT BUSINESS and therefore you can not represent A.A.B Select or the Corp. Disrespect of any kind towards adults or any of your peers WILL NOT be tolerated. If we are notified concerning Disrespect; you will NO LONGER be a member of this team/Organization. Education and an open mind is the key to SUCCESS in addition to ATTENTIVENESS(staying focused), CURIOSITY(asking questions), and most important DETERMINATION(studying hard). Associate yourself with peers who are POSITIVE, FOCUSED, AND RESPECTFUL as these are the qualities that will enhance your chances of becoming a productive adult. Example: 0-0=0....Simple equation-"Nothing From Nothing Leaves Nothing-Every Time". Remember: DISCIPLINE + EDUCATION = SUCCESS
1. Develop good study habits; 2. Don't be afraid to ask questions; 3. Tutorials - If you need the additional help, seek it.
Plan
What are you going to do to assure you achieve your goals in life?
Having a Plan is the main ingredient to be successful and have your dream fulfilled life.
Believe it or not, Dreams Do Come True. If you are willing to put forth an effort, sacrifice, do the right things and work hard, your dreams can come true. Sacrifice and hard-work go hand and hand. Nothing in life is easy or free, if you sacrifice and put in the work God will reward you for your efforts.
Health
This is really important. Young men you have to be in good health in order to achieve any of your goals. First, eat healthy; Fruit, vegetables, milk, water, juice. When possible, three meals a day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast gets your mind and body functioning for that day's journey. Cut back on sweets and fast foods.
Exercise
Exercise not only on the basketball court but work out on your own. Run, Jump Rope, Push ups, etc. Take the time to work out on your own weaknesses and keeping fit. The body is designed for movement and activity, exercising is good for your heart, and muscles to allow the blood circulation to flow. This also helps your brain and mind to function at the highest level. Exercise everyday. Athletes should run a mile everyday before and after school, this is a sacrifice and hard work. Remember they go hand and hand.
Sleep
The body needs sleep. That's right! REST, in order to be successful in school, you must get your proper rest. This consist of seven to eight hours of sleep a day. This is vital in your body development and growth, physically and mentally. Going to sleep at 1:00 AM and getting up at 6:30 AM in the morning is not enough sleep to be successful, NOT POSSIBLE.
Once again, I ask you. Are you really A.A.B. (All About Business) or you just playing around? No one can make this choice or decision for you.
You have to do it yourself.. That's a question only you can answer.
