You are capable, but are you willing?


“Success, real success, in any endeavor demands more from an individual than most people are willing to offer – not more than they are capable of offering.”         James Roche

One of the most important ingredients in academic success (in any success, really) is what you are willing to do to be successful.  How much time and effort are you willing to devote to achieving what you want?  What other activities are you willing to sacrifice or skip in order to have more time to study or work on the project?  

As stated in the quote above, the difference between the successful and unsuccessful person is not their capabilities, but their willingness to work hard to achieve their goals.

As a college student, especially as final exam week approaches, how much effort are you willing to devote to your learning?  What outside, social, activities might you have to skip in order to have enough time to prepare for your exams?

Take a minute to make two lists:
What do I need to do in my classes to prepare for final exams?
What non-academic activities can I skip to allow more time to study?








There are just a few short weeks left in the semester, but the results of your efforts will stay with you forever.
