Do good grades predict success?
I don’t think so, let me elaborate.In my current class there is one student which always gets the highest grades out of everyone, Lets call him bob. Most of the time bob will get a perfect 10 (In The Netherlands we get grades from 1–10) Whereas the rest of my class will hover around the 8 to 9 marks.I however, score closer to the 6 to 7, a 5.5 equivalent to a C.Now let’s compare my “succes” to his.Subject 1 (me)18 years oldProgramming since age 13First programming job at 16Won the school wide programming contest despite being two hours lateCurrently has a solid job as web developer.Two companies actively asking me to join themSubject 2 (bob)21 years oldProgramming since age 18no job (as a programmer)Didn’t bother to participate in the programming contestNo online presence of his code and/or abilitiesStruggling to find an internship due to lacking social skills.You see, bob’s only driver to put effort into programming is his grades. He doesn’t actually enjoy it and isn’t terribly interested in it either. But bob has to have a diploma before he can stop going to school.And then there’s me, i love programming. You will almost never find me without a laptop within 5 yards of me. I spend a lot of time building my network, writing code and learning new stuff. But i don’t put school on spot #1 in my priorities list. I’ve checked out the exams and they don’t seem all that shocking. So i spent more time on doing the things that i think will be valuable in the long run.So no. good grades don’t necessarily mean you are successful. It’s mostly what you do with the time NOT spent on studying to get those grades.

Can you get a refund on digital purchases on Xbox one?
Yes, in fact, I just did it!They are allowed to give 1 refund per account per year. You’ll have to call or use their online chat service which I think is the easiest. In my case, it was an honest mistake where I’d erroneously purchased the wrong edition of the game. I’ll leave this here in case anyone is looking for a convenient excuse. Thanks again, William U!

What is the meaning of swag?
its full form is SECRETLY WE ARE GAY (SWAG). this term was used in America when there was no such legal permission granted for the people having a desire of being Gay .But now the irony is every third person wants to show off himself using this word , without knowing the reason behind it.
