Why do researcher at MIT do better than CIT (Common Institute of Technology)?

I recently had a conversion with a researcher from MIT. To unravel the mystery of why do people generally do better at MIT in comparison to the researchers at CIT, I asked him few questions:

• Are there better equipments?
• He said "No".
• Are people super duper genius there?
• He said "No".
• Does university force you to work extremely hard?
• He sain "No".
• Any voodoo?   
• He said "No".

Big question: When resources are equivalent, people are similar, then WHY???

He said "We work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, consistently, with high efficiency. Since everyone around us has been doing this since long time, we also feel like doing it. Thats it."

Conclusion

If you can keep yourself internally motivated to work for 40 hours  a week, with CONSISTENCY, clear focus and high EFFICIENCY, you won't do different from any other prestigious institute.

I could only reach around 3.5 hours a day so far. But I am on it, hope to reach 8 hours mark soon!  

When to use the article "the"?

Most nouns in English are preceded by an article. While use of a and an is easier, use of the article "the" is tricky.

Below is the list of steps which work for most cases:

1. Find the noun. It might have preceding modifiers.
2. Can it be "any" instance of that noun? If yes, use "a/an", else, use "the".

Examples

• I bough a car. The car is of red color. [In the second sentence, it cannot be any car but the car I bought.]
• This is the same model I had before. [Noun = model. It cannot be any model, but the one I had before, so "the".]
• The tax rebate only applies to the members of the same family. [It is a special tax rebate, they cannot be any members, it cannot be any family]
