We Have to Sacrifice to Achieve What We Want
There is a cost for almost everything in life
As a former college and high school teacher, I observed that several students who got average grades were not average students.
They were very smart and intelligent. I know this because I saw how they reasoned and analyzed problems.
In fact, some students who are the “smartest” had very low grades. There is not always a correlation between a student’s ability and their grades but that’s for another article.
So, what made the difference?
Well, one of the major differences between students is how they spend their time. Especially time outside of school.
There are some who spend quite a lot of their time studying, preparing, and gaining additional information from other sources. Let us call them Group A.
Some spend very little time on their schoolwork. They spend most of their time on other activities. Let’s call them Group B.
Based on how both groups are using their time, their output in school cannot be the same if we assume that students learn at the same rate.
Group A is getting better at their schoolwork and Group B is getting better at what they are choosing to spend most of their time on.
