I knew in my gut that there was something wrong with a system that couldn't fire its incompetents, and I had my share of incompetent college teachers. ↗
I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life. ↗
I only do what my gut tells me to. I think it's smart to listen to other people's advice, but at the end of the day, you're the only one who can tell you what's right for you. ↗
