Nobody’s perfect. . . still we keep trying “Nobody’s Perfect still we keep trying” is the theme for the 1986 Cougar Annual. Throughout the book, you’ll notice pictures showing people who aren’t perfect, but are trying hard to be. Anything is possible, but nothing is accomplished when we don’t try. Everyone has fallen ‘off of the horse” a few times, but unless we get back on, that fall will never do us any good. Making a mistake is nothing to be ashamed of. But if we keep making the same mistake over again, we haven’t learned any- thing. Everyone participating in sports must constantly try to im- prove themselves, to better the score. Perfection will be achieved only if every single person is trying his or her hardest and working together as a team. Even though clubs are fun they still involve hard work. Each individual needs to strive for perfection in order to help the club achieve its goals. Just as sports teams must work together, clubs also must work as a team. The fact that everyone makes mistakes is evident in the classroom. The teachers set goals for us each time they an- nounce when an assignment is due. It is then up to each individ- ual to try his hardest and to follow through. Setting goals and trying our hardest ar two key factors in getting closer to perfection. If you have a goal and try to achieve it, then you’re headed down the road to success. In everything we do, we need to be individuals and do our parts, but also work together as a team.
