a grade students are hungry for success i can tell what grade a student will achieve from watching
the first hour of their morning routine it's a bold statement i know but i see it all the time
the a grade student wakes up early gets out of bed starts their day with purpose and intention
they respect their own time they know their time is valuable they know the number of hours in their
day is running out within one hour of waking up they're leaving the house and on their way
to study they don't waste time they have goals to reach dreams to fulfill they know they are
going to make an impact on a huge scale and there are countless people relying on them to achieve
great things and then there's the d-grade student they wake up at around 9 00 or 10 a.m and the
first thing they do is check their instagram feed for 30 minutes there's no rush no sense of urgency
they have dreams to pursue but their dreams can come later lying in bed for another hour
is more important they eventually get out of bed shower brush their teeth they might watch tv for
30 minutes and finally they'll leave the house and go on their way to study the difference between an
a-grade student and a d-grade student is that the a grade student is hungry for success
they're hungry to achieve phenomenal grades they're hungry to achieve their dreams they're
hungry to make something out of their lives success is an absolute priority for them with
no compromises from the minute they wake up in the morning to the minute they lay their head on their
pillow at night every action in between is to get them one step closer to achieving their goals so
what is it that makes an a grade student so hungry for success how do they get that fire burning
inside them so strongly that they don't even entertain the idea of procrastinating the secret
is that they have a powerful why their why is what intrinsically motivates them and helps them
to study it pushes them forward it doesn't allow them to stop it pushes them to just keep achieving
and achieving everyone has their own why everyone has that spark within them that once lit burns an
uncontrollable fire within that can motivate and inspire in a way that nothing else can for me
my why started at school as soon as i woke up in the morning i would be depressed i'd have a deep
empty feeling in my stomach because i knew i had to go to school but i absolutely did not want to
go this feeling was linked directly to my academic performance i didn't enjoy high school in fact i
hated it i was stuck in a trap of failing my exams so it would damage my confidence so i believed
within myself that i just wasn't clever enough to achieve good grades therefore i didn't study much
and i would fail my exams again as a result it was a vicious cycle that i was stuck in for years
i graduated high school with a d grade and was consequently rejected from university
they didn't want me they didn't want someone that was a below average student
i was disappointed with myself i felt
rejected i felt worthless
at that moment i made a decision
i am worth more than that i'm worth more than the d grade that i achieved at high school
so i researched for years how to become an a grade student i learned every study
technique i could find every memorization method i studied the most successful people on the planet
i learned about daily habits and productivity tools i learned how to become the top one percent
after three years i was finally accepted into university
i put what i had learned to the test i adopted a growth mindset i practiced gratitude i set daily
goals i ate healthily i exercised regularly i removed the self-limiting mindset that i wasn't
clever enough to achieve incredible grades and do you know what happened i started getting a's
for the first time in my life exam after exam essay after essay i kept performing in the top
five percent of my class i was no longer swimming against the tide i was no longer depressed about
going to school in the morning i actually started to enjoy it in fact i loved it university was an
incredible time in my life a stark contrast from the dark depressing years of high school i made
that transformation from a d grade student to an a grade student the journey took me to the deepest
darkest times of my life but i managed to use that failure and flip it around into success did it
take huge amounts of hard work and self-discipline yes but was it worth it absolutely i had so much
motivation and inspiration during university i was overflowing with it that's when i created this
youtube channel to help pull as many people out of that trap that i was in as i could i knew how
bad school and university could get and i didn't want anyone else to go through the pain that i did
that was my purpose that was what drove me to keep making videos to keep making motivational videos
even when at the beginning no one was watching my videos every week i'd upload a video and i'd get
20 views maybe 50 views on a good video but i just kept making videos and uploading because my why
was pushing me forward eventually my channel started experiencing exponential growth i was
finally having an impact on a huge scale that i was striving to reach for so long
and my why got me through the hard times if i didn't have a strong enough purpose then i would
have given up months before my youtube channel saw any kind of growth everyone is different we've all
experienced huge pain and hardships in our lives it's those exact hardships that suffering and
those failures that you experienced you need to flip those around and use them as motivation
turn them into a burning desire to not suffer the same failures you have been going through
it's this intrinsic purpose that a grade students have that d-grade students don't have it's what
drives them to keep growing and becoming a better person as each day goes by because they have
experienced failure which everyone has but they choose to do something about it they choose to not
let those failures get in the way of their success in fact they choose to use their failure as fuel
for their fire whereas average students don't do this they get beaten and thrown around by life but
they don't learn they don't do anything to change their situation they keep making the same mistakes
so they keep getting beaten they keep getting frustrated and disheartened because they don't
seem to be getting anywhere so now it's your turn to step up whatever grades you're getting
now there is a next level that you haven't reached yet you just need to dig deep within you and find
your why find that burning desire that you have deep inside you that will motivate you
and inspire you every day because external motivation is just not enough just striving
to achieve good grades is not enough working towards getting a good job after you graduate
or aiming to obtain a scholarship is not enough it's not intrinsic enough your purpose will be
your fuel for the next 10 years the more personal your why is the more powerful it will be your why
comes from your pain the most incredibly painful thing that happened to you in your life
that is your why the thing you're scared to tell anyone about that is your why the thing
that caused the darkest and biggest scars that is your why and when you experienced it and came
out of the other side or maybe you're still experiencing that pain you can help other people
to never have to experience that same pain because your pain is a gift that you can take advantage of
and use it to help the lives of potentially millions of people because when you have a
powerful why it's like a superpower if your purpose is strong enough and someone tells you
that you can't do something when someone doesn't believe in you or looks down on you or sees you
as weak and powerless you don't care who it is your parents your friends your professors at
university society it doesn't matter when you're told you can't then it just pours fuel in your
fire and you do what it takes to prove them wrong when they try to drag you down you bounce back
twice as strong with more focus more discipline more determination than ever before and it's the
most successful students the ones with the most powerful and personal why they're able to do this
it's these students that can stay laser focused and any negativity thrown at them is used to
fuel the obsession to become stronger and stronger for me the studying that i once struggled with has
become an obsession that i love i looked forward to it every morning i loved learning about the
world around me i loved the satisfaction at the end of the day after studying for 12 hours i loved
the sense of accomplishment i loved the feeling of my grades increasing from d to c to b to a
what i used to find difficult the studying and the focus and the concentration
i have the pain i experienced and the failures in my life to thank for that
because if i didn't overcome those hardships i would not be in the position i am today so
now it's your turn use your hardships use your pain and use them as fuel to turn your life around
you have it within you you just have to find it
