Grandma is shopping with her grandson. The grandson picks up a toy & the grandma shouts, “Degree! Put that toy back.”
A woman who is also shopping hears this & asks, “Is that his name?” The grandma replies, “Yes, I sent his mother to the University & this is what she brought back!”….. Lol

Character is the ability to follow through on a resolution after the
enthusiasm with which the resolution was made has passed. It is not
what you learn,or the ideas you have that are decisive for your future. It is whether or
not you can put your head down and discipline yourself to pay the
price, over and over, until you finally obtain your objective.

Perhaps your greatest asset is simply your ability to keep at it doggedly longer
than anyone else.
