    If a college student can learn to continually better his grades by looking for assistance, putting his assignments and tests before his social life, and being responsible for his work and its outcome, then he has the grit it takes to be more successful.

It is not to say that a student who does not use grit will never be successful, but he will never have as much success as one who uses it day in and day out. In the future, when one is finally in the workforce, he can either think “Wow, I really wish I was still in college because I never had to work this hard before,” or “Wow, I am so glad I learned to work hard in college because it has really paid off for me, and I feel as if I barely work a day in my life.” Which thought will you have when you reach this
