I found it surprising how small the victory margins are in different sports. I more motivated now after watching the video to go after what I want to do in life. The information in the video will help me in getting to my goals because this video reminded me that it takes more effort if you really want to accomplish your goals.

Heather, victories do come in small margins as the video showed us that major tournaments are won by less than 3 strokes. Motivation is key in succeeding anything you put your mind to.

I found it extremely interesting how small the margin of victory is! It really made me think about how if you don't put all of your effort into something, you are less likely to succeed.

I too found it surprising how close the victory differences were and more importantly the reward differences between the two. It motivates me to know how close I am to the next level of an accomplishment.

Jemyri, I agree that there's a small margin between being good and being great. It's just like sports. There's that one player who's great because he has a good work ethic and puts in that extra effort. Then there's that other player that could better but doesn't put it the effort.

While watching this video a lot of things were going through my head, first of all it made me realize how many things we are able to accomplish and we don't because of the lack of perseverance we have. It also surprised me how much of an impact the smallest things can have on such big projects. This video really inspired me to take that extra step from now on, and try even harder when it comes to achieving my goals.

It was indeed very eyeopening to see that most of the things we want are so close to us. However our lack of faith in ourselves prevents us from doing so. I too have decided to take the extra step because that extra step is what could make the difference between success and failure.

My reaction to the video was one of motivation and encouragement. Knowing that some of my goals and aspirations in life require just a little bit more effort, motivates me to try my hardest at everything. On a personal level, the video just motivated me to try my hardest everyday all the time, and to stay focused on my goals. The information in the video, the statistics, can assist me in accomplishing my goals by helping me think mathematically how close I am to accomplishing my goals and the difference between the two outcomes.

I believe that everything you do takes a certain degrees of effort, and if you don't put fourth that required effort than most likely you wont be in that winning margin. I personally was surprised at the difference between the margins. It sorta made sense but at the same time it threw me off. All that I'm 100% sure about is that I will not be the one that is in second, I will put fourth that required effort and get where I believe I qant and deserve to be.
