Two students finish the same lecture. One thinks, "I get it." The other thinks, "I think I get it—let me see if I can explain it without the notes." A week later, only one is right—and the difference isn't intelligence.

Self-awareness and reflection are skills you can build, and they are some of the most useful skills you will carry into any career.
