Success breeds success. Success is like going up a flight of steps, one step leads to the next and the next, so on and so forth until you reach the top. The difference, according to Mr. Robinson, is that other students are motivated to do well because it is expected of them and because they want to please someone else. Successful students on the other hand, are motivated to do well because of their own desires. They work harder for their own sake.
Successful students have a different attitude than other students.
Attitude is like a rain drop. It is a small thing that makes a big difference. A successful student's attitude is pro active and is positive. They think I can, instead of, I don't know if I can or I can't. Successful students also see themselves as confident, self assured and capable.
