10 Ways to Succeed!
We Are YOUgh Intermediate Middle School
10 Ways to Succeed – No Talent Required
Success doesn’t come from being the smartest or most talented person in the room—it comes from consistency, character, and effort. The good news? These 10 simple habits are things anyone can do. They don’t cost a thing, but they do take heart, grit, and determination.
1. Be On Time
Respect others by valuing their time. When you show up on time, you show others—and yourself—that you care and are ready to learn.
2. Show Up and Do the Work
No matter what—good day, bad day, praise, or criticism—keep showing up. Put in the work every day. That’s how success is built.
3. Always Give Your Best
Don’t worry about what others are doing. Focus on your effort. When you bring your best, you inspire others to do the same.
4. Spread Positivity
Your attitude matters. Be someone who lifts others up. Encouragement is powerful—use it often.
5. Practice Gratitude
Every day is a chance to be thankful. Focus on the good, even when things are tough. Gratitude leads to joy.
6. Be a Problem-Solver
Don’t dwell on what’s wrong—look for what you can do. See challenges as chances to grow.
7. Bring Passion
Get excited about learning, growing, and becoming your best self. Passion fuels purpose—and makes the journey fun!
8. Be Coachable
Stay open to feedback. Learn from your teachers, your classmates, your mistakes. Growth comes when you're willing to listen and learn.
9. Go the Extra Mile
Don’t settle for just “enough.” Do a little extra—whether it’s helping a classmate, adding detail to your work, or showing kindness. Small efforts add up in a big way.
10. Believe in Yourself
You are strong. You are capable. You have something special to offer. Remind yourself of that every single day.
From Your Yough Middle School Principals, Teachers and Staff!
