Daily reminder: some points = better than no points.

I came to class today completely unprepared and bombed the 10 point quiz. I got one question right purely on luck.

But you know what? 20% is better than the 0% I would have gotten if I had skipped class.

And it will be okay.

This took me 6 years of failing to learn.

I would skip tests and miss assignments I hadn’t fully studied or completed. I dunno why. Perfectionism? Maybe cause in my head, an automatic 0 was better than low grades, which would be proof I was struggling? Who can say.

Then at the end, I would fail getting 37-38%. Had I just submitted the half completed assignments or taken the half studied test, I might have passed instead of failing.

Some points is always better than no points. 

This is also broadly applicable to life where there are no “real” points.

But some cleaning is better than no cleaning.

Some progress on a project is better than no progress on a project.

A short time getting active is better than no time being active.

etc. etc.
