The Secret to Online Student Success
May 21st, 2007
The smart blog Pick the Brain recently published an article I find relevant to online learners. It's all about the difference between people who are successful "experts," people who are mediocre "amateurs," and people who are failures "drop-outs." What's the difference? According to the blog:
"Everyone starts as an absolute beginner with no ability. The drop outs never get anywhere because they give up at the first sign of adversity. The amateurs achieve a degree of success but become complacent and stop improving. The experts are the only group to reach the top tier because they continuously improve."
Bottom line: the difference between a successful student and a drop out is the student's willingness to keep trying.
