2.Treat school like a business. I think one of the biggest mistakes that students make is that they treat college like a vacation rather than a vocation. 3.Treat failure like a reprieve, not a death sentence. Don't repeat it. When students fail a test or a course, they dwell on it so much that they lose focus, and they end up bombing the next test or course.
Failure is temporary, but so is success.
Learn from both. I hope this helps you along your journey. Living Purposefully - Prof.
