When Getting a D on Your Report Card Is A Good Thing

Success Discipline In any school setting, a D letter grade is considered poor and is to be avoided. Better than an F for sure but at least as a minimum a C should go with a class you struggle in.

Another D form you might be rated on for success is actually a good thing. Many at mid year say they did not effectively accomplish goals and if they work better the second half they may do better with this D. It is the D for DISCIPLINE. Today we have many distractions to take our eye off the ball, and waste time. Choose words carefully for motivation. Eat instead of diet. Train instead of exercise.

It is ALL about the mind in gear rather than lazy mind. Be different.

Be good with your DISCIPLINE!!

Discipline is the magic ingredient to achieving goals. And your post reminds me how happy I was when I got a D in Accounting in college, using up my only D allowance to scrape by. So happy I didn't get an F.
