[quote=Anonymous]My fiancé is a young (second year) academic with a PhD in geography. In his case, he's certainly intelligent and persistent, but earning the degree was more about him proving to the world that he could do it. His father was in prison his whole life and provided this piece of advice that stuck with him - "Son, you can hustle for your whole life but that's gonna be a life of hard work. Better to pencil whip the world." He took it to heart. [/quote]
