[QUOTE="AugustaSwarm, post: 907891, member: 3493"] I had a professor at Tech that told me that I showed a poor effort in preparing for an exam that I bombed. I was pretty upset by this because I had spent hours and hours studying , but I clearly didn't understand the material. He looked me in the eye and told me that I needed to grow up - the end results are all that matter. The effort and time spent to prepare don't matter to anyone if you're floundering and spinning your wheels. It was tough love that I needed at time. I ended up barely getting a C in that class, but I'm more proud of that C than I am of any grade I ever earned... So yeah, I agree 100%. Sometimes we fail because we didn't try hard, sometimes we fail despite trying hard. Failure doesn't always mean a lack of effort. Usually yes, but it can also show a poor understanding of how to get it done. In the case of our team, that would mean poor coaching and/or schemes. [/QUOTE]
