Chapter 6 Do Hard Things

Chapter 6: I think my group can raise the bar by not being foolish with other people and helping one another in our group. We could also show excellence not excuses by showing the teachers that we could become a good group. Not just groups that make excuses and show no excellence through out the unit. We could also do more hard things like choosing values like do what’s hard for you and pursue excellence. My group can also raise the bar by going deeper about the main focus of the organization, which is child soldier. We can interview people, organization and more.

This book is talking about how we can raise a bar that go beyond of what’s expected or required. In this chapter Alex and Brett Harris is exploring phrases like “just do your best” can do more harm then good. I think what they are trying to say is that if we do our best we can also get an even better grade than just good. If I measure my life by excellence and not just excuses I think people is going to start recognizing the changes that I have made.
