A good student

We think that the hallmark of a good student is someone who quickly raises their hand cause they know the answer to the question or gets an A on a test.

That’s just saying they memorized the answers to that particular set of questions.

A good student is open to learning. And learning, as we know, is admitting to ourselves that we are incompetent at something, practicing until we become competent.

It is not just with students either. Good employees, good bosses, good citizens…have the title for being good at following directions while focused on short-term results.

We give up too quickly on those around us because they don’t want the same thing you do.
