The ambitious should never apologize

Jeff Bezos said, we know from our past experiences that big things start small, the biggest oak starts from an acorn, and you've got to be willing to let that little acorn grow into a little sapling, and then into a small tree, and maybe one day it'll be a huge oak tree standing on its own. You can't skip steps, you've got to put one foot in front of the other, things take time, there are no shortcuts, but you need to take those steps with passion and ferocity.

And you will stand out from the crowd, and your classmates will look at you differently, and your friends will look at you differently, and your parents and teachers will look at you differently. The ambitious should never apologize, for the only people that will criticize you are the people who have already given up on greatness. 

The ability to increase and maintain your hunger is the one common denominator amongst the most successful students, those that are getting the highest grades, they're hungrier than the rest. I believe that's a single most important factor that separates the top performing students to the average performing students, it's hunger, it's not just the ability to be hungry, but it's the ability to sustain it over long periods of time.
