Doing What Most Won't

What does it take to succeed?  I'm challenging my students to think about that question this semester.  Often, success comes about because someone was willing to do what others weren't willing to do.  
​
Most students won't ask questions.  Successful ones will.

Most students won't work ahead of schedule when given the chance.  Successful ones will.
Most students won't establish professional connections with professors on LinkedIn and other venues.  Successful students will.
Most students won't learn more than is required.
Most students won't talk in class.
Most won't put in a little extra effort.
