What comes to mind when I say the word grind?

For me, the first thing that comes to mind is grinding something up; like a pepper grinder putting some fresh ground pepper on a juicy sirloin. I certainly like the thought of that!

Maybe you thought of grind as a sound. If you’ve ever driven a car with manual transmission, and you miss a shift, you’ll hear a grinding sound. Not pleasant, and not good for the car either.

Another thought that comes to mind is the feeling that, “work was such a grind today”. It connotes things didn’t go well, or it was hard, or it was long. Looking at it in this context definitely gives the word grind a negative feeling.

Shock and Awe…

That’s how I feel about today’s high school students who take advanced placement classes, then graduate with a 4+ grade point average, and move on to college with their major already picked out.

How the heck did they achieve such clarity about what they want to do for a career at such a young age? That’s sure NOT my story!

Nope. For me high school was sports and chasing girls. I was a decent student and got my work done for the most part, but I had no concept at the time that I was supposed to be preparing myself for life after school.
