A short YouTube monologue by Mike Andes advising students that the primary attribute of a good student is the willingness to listen, accept instruction without interrupting, and be open to changing behavior. The speaker stresses that listening and saying yes are not merely about respect but about a growth mindset focused on learning and behavioral change.

If you're gonna take instruction from someone, shut up and listen. And I don't say that lightly. Like, I also think the same thing when I talk to Dr. Kashior, when I talk to Alex. Like, you don't hear me talk a lot. You say yes, and you don't interrupt. And it's not a matter of respect. It's a matter of, like, I am here to learn. I am here to grow, and I am here to change. And the best students come with the mindset of, I am here to change my behavior.
