With school starting again, it is important that everyone develop good approaches to work. A good student must be able to manage their time well, and must be willing to sacrifice quality for quantity at any time, and maybe sacrifice both quality and quantity in the interest of time. The most important thing is that the work gets done. The solution is mediocrity, it takes a lot less time, and usually it won't be noticed untill its too late.
Mediocrity saves time, and time is money.
