That you can do something really good one day. The next day you might not be able to do the same thing as the other day. You might make a very big mistake the next day.
comment: On Monday I saved someones life and the next day I got sent to prison.

Just because you did a great thing one day does not mean you will do it again. When I was in track I did really good in one meet so I thought I would do good in more meets but I didn't I did really bad in that meet.

I think that it means that the things that you do in the past don’t make what you have to do today any easy. Even if you do something great yesterday that doesn’t mean you will do anything spectacular today and you just have to accept that and you can’t blame anyone else for you not doing as well. It’s like if you beat your record in something on your last game or event that doesn’t mean that you will beat that record too the next time. You can’t have your best game every game.

I think that this is that just because you know how to do stuff does not mean that you dont need to practice. If you dont stop to practice you might forget or not be able to do that again.
You always need to stop and practice every now and then.

if you get a great achievmant today, then today you might get credit or that acheivment. Tommorow you may fail at what your doing, though. You wouldn't get credit for your great acheivment on the day you failed or the next time you fail. You have to take the heat.

I think it means. That you might have got away with something yesterday. And it was the wrong thing to do and you know it. Means you might not get a way with it the next time you try to do it. For example if I were to steel a pen on monday and I don't get caught. Then I do it on Thursday and I get caught then i get a punishment.

I think it means that if you do something really good one day it doesn't mean it will be good today. Focus on the trying to do everything as best as you can do it. If you are the best you can be in life you will succeed. Example = A boy is in a basketball game. He decides to shoot the 3 pointer to win the game. The next game he thinks he is the best on the team and thinks he is better than everyone else. He hogs the ball the whole game and they lose the game. No one likes him now because now he hogs the ball and thinks he is the best in the whole world. Just because the boy had to "Brag" If the boy was the best he can be everyone would've liked him and they could've possibly even won the game. that is what I think the quote of the week means.

If you do good in whatever one day, it won't carry on the next day because you, yourself, need to make it happen. After one day is done, forget about it because the next day arrived and that is the next thing to focuss on. Don't expect to just do something, because you need to create the miracle.

If I do good one day, I try to do good the next day, and forget about yesterday.

I think it means that you can't use excuses from things that have happened in the past. If something happens now, good or bad, you have to take take the blame for it. And if you do something good, then a while later do something bad, you still have to take the blame for the bad thing. So don't use excuses.

The past is behind you. That is why it doesnt matter what you have done. It matters what you do. So do what you do.

Unless you are a murderer or something.
In that cases dont do what you do.

What you did yesterday should not have an effect on what you do today. When you are mad one day start with a new day. Have a good day.

I think this means that you should forget the things from the past and just worry about now. This will help you get through life without as many problems cause you'll be forgeting all the problems from yesterday. This should also take a lot of stress off you're life. I know this might be hard to do but you should try anyways. My example is that, if you had an argument with you're friend yesterday just forget about it and stay friends with them cause one small argument isn't worth loosing a friendship.

the mistakes you made yesturday dont matter today and the good things you did yesturday dont matter if you made a whole bunch of bad mistakes today because if you like rob a bank or somthing yesturday but you return the money the next day i promise your will probably still get sent to jail

I think that it means that if you accomplish something yesterday that doesn't mean that its going to affect today or the next. You are always going to take new adventures. So everyday you do/try something new. You should just worry about messing up yesterday, and think about the future. Days go on..

One day you might do really good at something, but you might not do as good as you did the other day. So if you do something good don't think you are the best because it might just have been a lucky day. If you do something good in the past it isn't going to be as easy as it was again.

Like if i beat my best in track doesn't mean i am gonna do it again.. i hope i will but doesn't mean i will.

This means that you can't always do the best every time. You may need to try again and again until you complete your goal. It may take you multiple times to get your task complete.

It means that the things you did yesterday can't effect the things you do today. Like if you get a 100% on your test you still have to study for the next one otherwise you most likely won't do so good on the next. So if you do something really good on one thing you can't stop trying ever. You have to keep practicing.

What you did yesterday dosne't matter today. Don't brag about what you did yesterday. Always try to hit a homerun (do something to be pround of everyday.)Be good.

How it applies to my life: I always try to not to brag about what I did yesterday but what I did that afternoon or that morning!

The things you did yesterday won't effect you today. If you do good one day, you might do horrible tomorrow. You just can't guess, you have to wait and see. So if you do really good on something and fail, keep trying. You can't give up, you just have to keep trying.

i think that its means that if you fail something one day it shouldnt affect the next cause your always doing somwthing different in life. you always have new adventures in life. you dont just do the same thing everyday. you should forget if you make a mistake in life cause everybody makes mistakes and you should just move on and forget about it.

I belive that the true meaning of this quote is that you cannot live in that past. What happens in the past should stay there. You are not going to get anywhere. You will be stuck on the same page until you move on.
Reflects off me- If I got a progress report back on a class and realized I had lots of assignments with a poor grade on it I should focus on working harder and improving them in the future instead of keep thinking of my old grades.

Meaning- It mean's that if you had a the best day ever and its the next day its dosn't mean the same things are going to happen. Every day is a diffrent day and know day is going to be the same as the one before.

Relates to me- There sare day's that i want to have over but I can 't because the next day is never going to be the same like me for track i finally beat some one in hurdles but i don't know if the next track meet is going to be the same i might lose or i might win I never know. I just have to let it go like it's going to go.

the things you did yesterday will not help today. One day you will score 10 runs and then the next game you might score 7 and youmight be tied and you need more runs to win. That things you did yester day you might do the same thing but you might do less than the other day. Fishing one day you can catch 12 and than the next day you might catch 5 and you would like to get more. Yester day you might win but tomarow is another day or a new start to a game. You need to try and dop the same at every event you are in give a 110% at all things.

This means you can not stop trying. The stuff you do in the yesterday will not help you the next day.Like if you get a person to like you can do that you want the next day. So do not to try.

Whatever happened yesterday doesn't matter today. You don't need to worry about any other time except for the present. You also don't need to worry about what is happening to anyone else just about yourself. If it happened yesterday it's gone, done with if it happens tomorrow it hasn't happened yet so you don't need to worry if it happens today thats what you worry about. Better yet don't worry about anything but what is happening at this moment the moment you are in. You could be the best one on the basketball one day and the next you could be the worst if you don't practice you have to practice to do good but don't worry about what's going to happen until it happens.

you can't make the past into the future.Things happen in the past that you wish happened in th future when you needed it to.It goes in my life like if I am stuying and I understand , then the next dayI get a bad grade on a quiz . ( that just means I need to study more)
