Setting it straight –––––––– It is the policy of the Daily News to correct as quickly as possible all errors in fact that have been published in the newspaper. If you feel a factual error has been made in a news story, call the news deparment at 527-2153 What’s in your will? I had the privilege to be a part of something really cool last week. My daughter represented the north state at the CIF state champi- onships for track and field in shot put. What an amazing opportunity. What an amazing feat to be there as a Junior representing not only Red Bluff High School, but the entire north state. Surrounded by the best track and field athletes the state of California has to offer, in a state-of-the-art facility sent chill bumps up the arms when witness- ing the magnitude of it all. What does it take to make it to the state finals? What does it take for someone to succeed and rise above the pool of the many to the pool of the few? Their will. Not their talent, not their connections, not their money, not their charisma; their will. Beyond that, anyone can have a will to win, but not everyone has the will to prepare, train or commit to the dream of being the best you can be at something. Hopefully a person’s will devel- ops early; fostered by parents who instill qualities like work ethic, commitment and personal pride. If not, it can be developed at any time in life. You can come from abuse, neglect, meanness, hate and failure and still have a will that helps you achieve greatness in the end; two paths with one final destination. I see a difference in the thought processes of people who have achieved goals they set for them- selves and those who have not. One mindset has a goal or a vision and works it and works it until they have reached the goal. What does that look like? Sacrifice, wise choices, hours of practice, sweat, tears, failures, honing of skill sets, putting yourself out there, studying your craft, finding mentors, seeking to understand and never, ever losing sight of the goal. It includes being scared but doing it any- way. Looking people who say you can’t in the eye and trying when you know they don’t support you. It means delay- ing immediate gratification for long term satisfaction. It includes training when you don’t want to and saying no to things that seem like fun, but are counterproductive to your final goal. There are no overnight success- es. There is talent, to be sure, but your talent for anything will only take you so far. Look at pop culture examples like American Idol, those people are talented, but it takes a level of will to get beyond the first round. Your will-ingness to listen to others, to hone your tal- ents, to do your best and know that when it is all over you have given your best. Faydra Rector You Matter We had a handful of amazing local athletes represent us at the state meet. They had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness some of the fastest run- ners and farthest throw- ing throwers in the nation. They were rewarded for the will that got them there. They were inspired to work even harder. What’s in your will? You can do all things if you simply believe and you commit to the details. The skills these athletes used to get to where they are hap- pen to be the same skills they will take into adulthood, parenthood, their workforce, their communities and beyond. They are will-ing.
