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.
Agas bolakale 2015 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 don'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. 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 and pray to GOD. this will make the world a
static variable for u. And that u can drive the world..I
wish u the best
