4 — You have to get good grades.

“Studying is your job. Everything else is on me” — I’ve heard this sentence hundreds of times. But for my father, allowing me to study and seek my path was crucial.

He didn’t need to tell me. But he insisted every time he saw a negative trend in my grades.

He was often harsh on me and my sister. Yet, without his discipline, I wouldn’t have gotten my position at my job.

Most of what I own is thanks to the commitment I learned in school. So you have to get good grades. Otherwise, you won’t be ready for what comes later.
