From 'D' Grades To 'A' Grades - Student Motivation

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.
