So I posted a picture of the letter “C” and asked people if they could tell me what it represented it means. I even added the disclosure that it might be a trick question. Which it was in a way.

I got some really great responses though.
 
First off. After I read these I came to a very interesting realization. These words that people chose, were the first words that came to mind. Which means that it’s probably a word that is very important to them. Things like collaboration, clarity, character, confidence, chocolate, which is very important.
 
What’s the first word or phrase or anything that comes to mind with the letter C? I want you to quickly think about that and just store it. That’s a good self awareness practice.
 
Anyways. What I meant by the letter “C” came about when I came across a post by Stacy A cross who talked about how she was a C average student. I was too. I hated school. I may have been a little lazy, or maybe just not motivated. I did well in computer class, go figure, because of how interesting it was.  
I hated having to sit in those hard seats for hours at a time, copy notes off of slides, read chapter of boring books, write paper on subjects I’ve long forgotten, and waking up early in the morning to catch to bus to do it.
 
I told you it might be a trick question. But Jason Howland of Action Closers Academy got it closest. Saying it was the highest grade he got in high school. With that in mind, this guy is doing pretty well, and always pushing himself for more. He helps train businesses and sales teams the art of sales and closing deals.
 
I may not be super successful yet, but I’m this C average student who is Creative, Compassionate, a little Crazy, and Confident that he is going to do something amazing with his life. And I will.
 
That’s what the C represented in my post. Do you know who else was a C average student? Gary Vaynerchuck.
