James Clear
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity. This is one reason why meaningful change does not require radical change. Small habits can make a meaningful difference by providing evidence of a new identity. And if a change is meaningful, it is actually big. That's the paradox of making small improvements.”
James Clear, Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

“Contrary to common belief, underachieving students don't necessarily have bad grades.”
Asuni LadyZeal
