Be a Go-Getter by Thinking Critically About Your Future

If a Dux is the top student in a tertiary group, the achievers in high school are obviously Duxlings, right!? To outshine the rest, Duxlings don’t leave anything to chance – they grab the bull by the horns and make things happen for themselves.

List of questions to determine whether you are a Go-Getter

The more you answered “yes”, the more of a go-getter you already are. Any points you answered “no” to are simply the areas which you need to work on to improve. That’s the beauty of being young – you have time on your side, and are embracing a personal growth mindset before you get too set in your ways!

Can-do Attitudes

What differentiates go-getters from the mainstream is your willingness to look beyond your current circumstances and obstacles. Creatively maximizing your resources and rising above difficulties is second nature to you.
