This was inspiring hope you can read the whole thing!<\/p>\n
\nDoing this in addition to my full course load, I graduated college in two and a half years – (got my bachelor's degree when I was 20) – squeezing every bit of education out of that place that I could.
\nBut the permanent effect was this:
\nKimo’s high expectations set a new pace for me. He taught me \u201cthe standard pace is for chumps\u201d – that the system is designed so anyone can keep up<\/strong>. If you’re more driven than \u201cjust anyone\u201d – you can do so much more than anyone expects. And this applies to ALL of life – not just school.<\/strong>
\nBefore I met him, I was just a kid who wanted to be a musician, doing it casually.
\nEver since our five lessons, high expectations became my norm, and still are to this day. Whether music, business, or personal – whether I actually achieve my expectations or not – the point is that I owe every great thing that’s happened in my life to Kimo’s raised expectations. That’s all it took. A random meeting and five music lessons to convince me I can do anything more effectively than anyone expects.<\/strong>
\n(And so can anyone else.)
\nI wish the same experience for everyone. I have no innate abilities. This article wasn't meant to be about me as much as the life-changing power of a great teacher and raised expectations.
