Today I got a 70 on my FAR final exam practice test using Becker and of course, wanted to quit but I’m back in the library to keep on going. I wanted to share this quote that helped me get through my day:

Most people give up when they’re about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown.

Keep on going friends, and post your own motivational quotes 🙂

FAR 4/9/12- PASSED
BEC 7/13/12- PASSED
AUD 8/16/12- Ughhh 71, Rematch: 90!!!
REG-12/6/12 PASSED

USC MAcc- Fight on!

They say good things come to those who wait, but only those things that are left by those who hustle.

Only easy day was yesterday….

The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.

Great thread…..but so many quotes to choose from! One quote that helped me while trying to pass Audit (4x-grrrrr) and Reg (3x ):

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, (attributed)

US essayist & poet (1803 – 1882)

The word encumbered makes me sick right now hahaha! But I love Emerson!

That's actually pretty good. I heard Becker final exam is harder than the actual exam and most people end up getting 10-20pts more on the actual exam compared to the Becker final exam. Again, that's what I've heard…idk how much there's truth to it.

Keep at it, and you'll get there. I'm currently studying for FAR, and it's tough:(
