“I really need that “A” Dr. R. Or it’s going to kill my GPA.” News for you Kid — Grades don’t count.
What counts is grit, hustle, execution and a laser focus on getting stuff done. Skills are important, as is intellect. What’s more important, however, is kindness and compassion, emotional intelligence, and empathy. And a thirst for getting stuff done.
You can make the grade, without getting good grades. Trust me. It’s been the story of my life.
