"When I was teaching basketball, i urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece. This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of become a little better each and every day over a period of time, you'll  become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."

John Wooden

It is saying that you should always try to improve in life no matter what. To make each day count by choosing the right.
