There's a great book many of you have probably read called The Millionaire Mind, which describes people who are self-made millionaires.The average GPA for the self-made millionaire in this country is 2.7, a B-, C+ average.
Whenever I teach at Yale or a place like that, I always tell them, "The odds of you people getting very rich are extremely low," which is true. But these self-made millionaires often have had one experience in their lives: Someone told them they were too stupid to do something, and they set out in life to prove the bastards wrong. And, that's a level of drive that you can't measure on tests.
