Wherever you find yourself, do your best with what you have where you are.  Giving 100% effort is about the standards you set for yourself and the expectations you have.

Set your expectations high.  When you set your expectations to mediocrity, your efforts will likely be mediocre. In contrast, if you aspire to achieve the best, you must give it your best.

If you don’t do your best, you’re only cheating yourself.  Even though you have all the potential in the world, you’ll never realize your best opportunity if you don’t do what you can with what you have. 

Doing your best every time is vital because you reap what you sow. Great work gets great results. Even if you don’t reach the ultimate results today, your best effort provides knowledge and benefit for your next best effort tomorrow.

Do your best until you gain knowledge and understanding. Once you have acquired knowledge, apply it and do even better. The more you do, the more you get.  The better you do; the better things get.

Remember, it’s not just about doing your best once; it’s about consistently giving your best effort. It’s about the commitment to continuous improvement and the determination to never settle for less than your best.
