This particular quote stood out to me, as my values reflect the worth of hard work. I spend a great amount of time and effort on my schoolwork, practicing and improving my ringette skills, and doing my best in everything I do. I plan to keep working hard in the rest of my life in order to be successful and achieve my goals and dreams. I also believe that modesty is important, and that even if you are one of the most successful people in the world, you should try not to flaunt it too much. It could be compared to a secret ingredient in a recipe – hard work makes life taste good, even if everyone else thinks that it was just a lucky spill of seasoning into the pot.

This has been a popular choice of quotation for this assignment, and it is an apt choice, as luck is often the product of diligence. I hope you find the same luck as Jefferson, starting in Humanities 30.
