Japanese Proverb

"After a victory, tighten your helmet cord."
- Japanese Proverb

When you find success, be ready for more.  The hardest battle is yet to be fought.  I know from experience.  I've done well in school and recently slacked off, only to put myself in a situation where I need a 93% on a final to get an A; usually, I need much less than this.  But I've not done what needed to get done after my initial victory.  I didn't tighten my helmet cord and now I pay the price for a much harder finish.  But it will get done.  I say this in hopes others can learn to get ready after their successes - always be learning.

Just remember, it isn't about how you start...it's how you finish.
