at high school i graduated with a 1.3 gpa
at university i graduated with a 4.0 gpa top 5 percent of my university
how did i do it i used to struggle to wake up in the morning
i used to struggle to drag myself to my desk i used to struggle to open my
textbooks and even if i got that far after 10
minutes i'd get distracted and stop studying i was average
just like most other students i was in a constant battle with procrastination
and i was stuck in this cycle of not studying enough
then failing my exams as a result i graduated high school with a 1.3 gpa
i felt like a failure i was disappointed frustrated even so i made a decision
i decided that i can achieve more than that
that i am capable of making something of my life
so i thought to myself how can i achieve that
i've been performing at average my entire life
how can i get out of that trap how can i perform
among the rest of the a-grade students i realized it came down to my daily habits
what i do constantly every day will determine what grades i achieve it
was like a light bulb turned on in my head
what i do with my 24 hours will determine
whether i succeed or fail those that perform in the top 1 when
they don't feel like studying they do it anyway and that's what i
started to do and that's what you need to do you study
hard even when no one is watching no one
needs to understand how many hours you're studying no one needs to
know how early you wake up in the morning
because that's the quietest time in the day with the least distractions
no one even needs to know why you're doing it
you're not doing it because of the grades or to prove to the people around
you that you can do it you're doing it because you have a
burning desire step by step day by day
become the best version of yourself possible
far too many people are dreaming of graduating with a 4.0 gpa
but their actions don't match their ambition
they're dreaming of graduating at the top of their class and
getting a scholarship to an ivy league college
they're dreaming of being the best doctor lawyer or
surgeon in their country they're dreaming of buying a huge house in a
fast car but when it comes to studying they can't
last 30 minutes without getting distracted
don't make that mistake let your actions do the talking be obsessed with your
studying with learning with growing i've never
met a successful person that wasn't obsessed with growing that's
what i did i took out the binge watching netflix
from my schedule and replaced it with personal
development material i read books watched documentaries
watched educational youtube videos i connected with
and learned from those students that had already graduated with a 4.0 gpa
i set goals every day a certain number of hours studying before i could relax
i exercised daily i ate healthily i made sure i slept early and
woke up early so that i could have a productive morning
it's these small decisions that you make the seemingly insignificant decisions
that build up over time to create extraordinary results
after a few weeks you will start to see results
your grades will start improving almost immediately
you will start feeling better about yourself happier
more content with your life
and after years of living like this you will be capable of achieving
extraordinary things and you'll start to realize that your
most wildly ambitious dreams and goals actually start becoming achievable and
when you decide that you've had enough of getting
average grades just like i did let me warn you
it will be painful it will be uncomfortable
but that's where the growth is you're going to get thrown to the ground
again and again and again but when you have the
determination to climb to the top of the class
and when you know that what you're doing by studying every day will be rewarded
you will begin to discover things about yourself that you never
knew existed you will have an energy that just builds
and builds as you achieve success after success and that's exactly what i
did and if i did it you can too i got rid of the mindset
that i'm not smart enough to be among the top students in my class
it was a self-fulfilling prophecy that i was stuck in
for a long time i believed that i wasn't smart enough
and so my grades reflected that once i threw away that mindset
it freed me to become whoever i wanted to be
