Qualities Of An A+ Student

[Taylor]

WORK ETHIC.

I'd rather have a few hard-working B- students than an army of lazy A+ students on my side.

Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel just doesn't exist; sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel can't be understood by those in the tunnel.

I have a perfect reason for why you would need to know the dates of the French Revolution or the word Television in Spanish: Because you were asked to know so. Because the knowledge of these things will bring you closer to your goal to becoming an A+ student. Because this will help you realize that maybe - just maybe - the teachers are teachers because they're pretty doggone smart and know what you will need to know to succeed in their classes (and in life). Because the realization that teachers are teachers and students are students will serve you well in your adult life.

Studying things that you like is easy. Anybody can learn about something that excites him or her. Studying, learning, and becoming knowledgeable about things that don't particularly interest you separate the wheat from the chaff.

Learn for the sake of learning. You don't need a reason.

Or, maybe, that is your reason.



Make that your reason.
