"What makes good great? It's not always about being the smartest...it's the person, honestly, with the mental resiliency and fortitude to keep going, staying consistent, staying disciplined at their craft."

—Darleen "Coach Dar" Santore, after suffering a stroke

Hers is an interesting, almost "ironic" situation, as the Motivational Monday Podcast host said, because Dar was an Occupational Therapist that coached people (athletes, world leaders, business professionals alike) recovering from strokes all the time, and then she had one herself.

Insight for the Day: Don't be discouraged because someone else seems smarter, or is doing better academically than you. Academics and grades don't always translate into grit when times get tough. It's all about how YOU keep going when times get tough.
