Reasons Why First Class Students In School Never Become First Class People In Life 
Hardly do first class graduates become first class personality
While in University, we often spend too much energy in acquiring good grades that we forget to acquire good class personality.
After concentrating all energy in acquiring the first class grades, we transform into a society where first class grades don’t matter much as having a first class personality.
In school, its easy to read,memorize and pass exams, but in real life, there is no sure book of life to progress, no memorizing, no exams, just you and your inbuilt capability which require no contest with anybody.
Those who eventually become big in life are mostly people who hardly make good grades in school.
Anifowoshe Titilope had reported that, Prof. Abletor Sedofia from University of Ghana has this to say to us:
“Academic excellence is overrated!
Did I just say that? Oh, yes, I said it. Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life. You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn’t mean you will make more money than everybody else.
The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer. The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam. School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination.
School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones. So do I mean people shouldn’t study hard in school? Oh, no, you should. But don’t sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class.
Don’t limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position. Start a business and fail. That’s a better Entrepreneurship 101.Join or start an association. Contest an election and lose. It will teach something Political Science 101 will not teach you. Attend a seminar.
Read books outside the scope of your course.… Do something you believe in!
Think less of becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person. Make the world your classroom !
