When you ask for safety, when you asked for ease, know that you are saying a prayer for weakness. And when you take the hard way, know that you are forging yourself. Tom bilyeu
We’ve all heard the story of kids who get a 4.0 by taking easy classes. These students have it all wrong. School is about learning and challenging yourself, not about getting a 4.0. Colleges can see past that.
I would rather my students choose the hardest project they can and get a C than choose the easy path to get a guaranteed A. If you choose the harder path, chances are you will rise to the challenge, and if it is just too hard, then you will have learned something valuable, and can be proud that you challenged yourself.
There is no success in choosing the easy path. It doesn’t feel good because you know you’ve cheated yourself.
