10 Secrets to Success - Part One - From Dr. John C. Maxwell
1. How you think is everything.
- Always be positive. Think “success,” not “failure.” Beware of a negative environment.
- “If you don’t want to get into positive thinking, that’s okay. Just eliminate all the negative thoughts from your mind, and whatever’s left will be fine.” –Bob Rotella, Sports Psychologist
- Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them.
- “Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement.” –Tom Hopkins
- Goals are nothing without action. Don’t be afraid to get started now. Just do it.
- Dreams don’t work unless you do
- “It is only our deeds that reveal who we are.” –Carl Jung
- “I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.” –G.K. Chesterton
4. Never stop learning.
- Get training and acquired skills.
- “A learning is defined as a change in behavior. You haven’t learned a thing until you can take action and use it.” –Don Shula and Ken Blanchard
There are two ways to learn:
2. Wisdom: learning from the mistakes of others
“A time comes when you need to stop waiting for the person you want to become and start being the
person you want to be.” –Bruce Springsteen
5. Be persistent and work hard.
- Success is a marathon, not a sprint.
- “If hard work is the key to success, most people would rather pick the lock.” –William Gladstone
- “‘I can’ is more important that I.Q.” –Clark Johnson

Riley Fincher-Foster (Grade 9, FAC Theatre) continues to garner awards for her performances at the Greenville Theatre! The latest accolade is the Broadway World South Carolina Regional Award for Best Cabaret/Concert/Solo Performance. Riley is being recognized for her performance in the Andrew Lloyd Weber 75th Birthday Celebration at Greenville Theatre.
Each year, we have a number of current FAC students who choose to spend their summer months expanding their artistic horizons at a summer arts intensive program. These programs can be located locally or across the nation - for more information on recommended programs, please have your child speak with their FAC Instructor.
The FAC Partners will once again offer financial assistance to students in grades 9-11 who have been accepted into Summer Intensive Programs for their area of study at the FAC. Students who apply for financial assistance must be committed to attending the FAC next year. Recipients will be chosen first by financial need (as determined by P.I.P. status) and then by merit (Grade Point Average), with teacher input into the student's performance also being a factor. You will need to provide proof of acceptance into the program/camp (email or hard copy) along with the submission of the form. The form is due Thursday, March 14, 2024, and can be accessed at the following link - https://forms.gle/Mefnc3QDhz8M3TjF8
Please note - the form should be completed by the student via their GCS Google Account. Call or email us with any questions.
