There is always room for improvement. Although there are awards such as receiving MVP or winning the National Championships, but that does not mean that you did absolutely nothing wrong throughout the journey of obtaining this reward. People make mistakes. If an individual makes a correct decision one day, then it is possible for them to choose a wrong one tomorrow. For example, if a basketball player shoots 80% from the free throw line, there is still a whole 20% for improvement. Individuals have a variety of ways to make improvements. Some developments can involve on how an individual performs, how one responds, how one writes, cooks, cleans, and many more. Modifications come in a wide range of progress enhancements, but it is how hard the individual works toward succeeding that goal. Here is a response from John Wooden to a question in an interview asked by the American Academy of Achievement:
If you could say one thing to America's young people today, what would you say?
John Wooden: If they would buy it, what would be most helpful is what Dad said, "Don't compare. Don't try to be better than someone else. But whatever you're doing, try to be the best you can be. Take advantage of every day. Make each day your masterpiece." That would be one of the things that I could say. There are other things that are extremely important. They must have faith. They must believe. They must not complain. Individually, don't compare, just try to make the most of what you have under the conditions that exist for you and try to improve those conditions. No one can do more than that.
