In his article, John Haltiwanger spoke about why weak students achieve greater success in life than those who get better grades. He believes that grades do not determine success of a person for life, and life itself is full of endless possibilities.

Steve Jobs, for example, did not graduate from college, Mark Zuckerberg did not finish his studies at the university, as his passion for programming was taking too much time, and Bill Gates dropped out of his studies in order to create his own company, which eventually became a monopolist on the software market.

Simply put, while receiving education in one form or another is important, there is no single path to greatness. Intelligence is subjective, and academic achievement is not always the right way to measure success. Success of a student largely depends on the ability to operate in a particular system, but this is not always the best preparation for real life. Not the grades determine person's direction in life, but his nature, experiences and connections.
Success requires dedication, perseverance, emotional intelligence and the ability to understand the value of failure. That is why we see so many poor students in the role of the ruler of the world. They understand what means to struggle and overcome great obstacles, which many people do not even realise. Finally, grades are just arbitrary numbers on paper. True achievement is a product of making observable and altruistic changes in the real world.

Thus, if you are a student who has not graduated from university or college with honors, do not despair! Life is full of ups and downs. You can gather a lot of knowledge in the university, but real education comes only after you leave its walls. The main thing – never stop learning, never give up, and importantly – do not forget to enjoy the very process of your personal development!

You can get the answer from this book" How come THAT idiot's rich and I'm Not" by Robert Shemin.

They End up Trusting God for Help and he Help them.

That question is best answered 10-15 years after you graduate and run into those you thought would be eating grass for the rest of their lives simply because they were 'weak' students during your 4 years together in school. In our society today, there are too many people walking about who absolutely believe that life is a part of school. How sad.

really?

There's hope for me.

Well I can name hundreds of people too, (strong people, if I may say) from Albert Einstein to the market regulators of wall street down to great men in medicine (Ben Carson, and my professor of respiratory medicine here in oau-prof Erhabor-who doubles as an ambassador of UN on leadership.




The moral of the story is....what is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Book or no book...whatever ur hand finds doing, do it well. Where ur heart is, there ur treasure will be.

Everybody is born intelligent but not all make good use of it. The reasons for some people's low grade is because of distractions especially those that are money conscious instead of reading hard to pass and get good grade they will be learning skills, tricks and getting connections to survive and succeed, many of them only read doing exam period just to pass after exam they face other business they are pursuing, they are academically lazy but they are smart and intelligent and also hardworking some of them once they achieve their dream they quit some will continue but will end up with poor grade which they may never need but not all of them are like that, some quit because they follow the wrong path, they have no plan no ambition, they just choose the wrong path anything goes, those ones hardly succeed. As for the good grade guys they too can succeed, they can be failures depending on how they handle life after school, reasons been that some of them knows little outside test books and most of them are anti social, small friends, little or no skills and connections. They believe in testbook and everything their lecturers taught them, they believes their good grade can get them any job so they devote their life in getting the good grade at the end it is either they are working for somebody or multinational companies and many of them will still be unemployed or underemployed. For every Bill Gate that drop out their are many who dropped out and became useless in society, for every Bill Gate in America their are millions of the drop outs that are successful in Nigeria, go to lagos, Onitsha, Aba and many commercial cities in Nigeria you will see them and what they have achieved. Same ways millions of the drop outs are the failures and menace to the society.
Last note: what matters is whatever path you follow try nd give your best to be the best. Warning to undergraduates certificate alone with not make you succeed add skills to have advantage over others, skills and talents bring the most cash in the world
