if you want to be great if you want to be known as the highest achieving
student in your class if you want that then you're going to be misunderstood by
people because you're going to be so driven and so focused and so disciplined
people are going to think you're crazy when you're studying all morning and all
day at college and you go home and study some more and study all night into the
early hours your classmates they will never understand they'll never
understand why you do it but you will you get it it's not just about the
grades yeah getting good grades feels great but it goes beyond that it's about
what it represents it's about what you represent it's about becoming that
person that whatever you touch whatever you get involved with it turns out
phenomenal and people want to study with you and
team up with you because they know you're the person that gets results and
to get to that point it's not going to happen fast it takes a lot of patience
and a lot of time and a lot of stress and pain and suffering you got to go to
war with yourself before you can get to that top it is difficult to get up early
every day when you're tired it's raining outside and you have to go to college
when you don't want to go it's a hard journey you will have downfalls
you will have times when you're hurting there will be people who talk about you
it's a journey that's going to make you very uncomfortable but through the
journey you will find peace with yourself self-esteem all of these things
are going to be found only through discipline getting uncomfortable and
putting yourself in situations that you don't want to be in
how badly do you want to change your life what are you willing to give up to
have that life that you dream of are you willing to give up the procrastination
and the Netflix and the hitting the snooze button five times before you
eventually get up are you willing to give up all of this for the life you
aspire to have or do you just want to talk about it and I mean give it up
forever because two or three or four weeks isn't good enough you really start
to see improvement when you are consistent all the successes I've had it
goes to the fact that I understood the process and day in and day out of being
consistent I just keep doing the same thing over and over and over again it
will take a while it might take one year it might take five years I don't know
but here's what we know if you do it every day every day works
someday doesn't you just need to every day study
have you done what you said you were going to do did you study when you said
you were going to study or did you get distracted and put it off there's always
going to be a reason to procrastinate there's always going to be a busy
schedule there's always going to be something unexpected that happens it's
always going to be that way you have to work through it but a lot of students
don't want it enough people who succeed stick to the plan regardless when you
tell yourself you're going to study you need to do it you have to commit to
getting better grades you have to commit to being a person of action you have to
commit to being someone who doesn't just talk but who gets the results - no more
excuses no more complaining no more victim mentality take responsibility
disappointed with your exam results take responsibility it's not the teachers
fault it's not the examiners fault it's not your parents fault it's your fault
when you see something that you want go after it and attack it and don't stop
until you achieve your goals don't let anything or anyone stop you from
achieving it
