What the OP is saying is that 'F' only means failure when you fail to try out other alternative means of survival in this highly competitive world. It only means failure when you accept the fact that you cannot make it in your career simply because you failed in your initial attempt.

Nobody is a failure but those who believe they are.

its like you miss the first bus and begin to weep "EPIC FAIL" ... no you simply relax, next bus is coming....*whistling out of thread*

Hi I don't understand you. If you are insinuating I'm a failure, then shove it up your stinking arse. I don't need to boast but I'm doing well in my career.

lemme get something straight here, I didn't bag an "F" in any course, matter of fact I'm doing great with my studies so this is not about me. This article was ignited in me to inspire those who are loosing it academically, who about to give up, who thinks they can't succeed in anything judging from their terrible grades. The F grade doesn't determine your destiny, what if you bag all the A's and you still remain poor with your 9-5 job. who first class don help. How many A did dangote have while in school? most of the world richest men today didn't attribute their successes to the A's they had it's all boils down to talent, passion, hard work, perseverance and God. Most rich men today are dumb but they employ A students to give them what they want. with God and hard work even your third class can seat you in high places.

Finally, when ur parents spent their hard earn money to send you to school and you come up with a meaningless article like this.... is the true definition of failure

There'll always be dumb critics like you everywhere, what if I'm training myself in school? it's meaningless go and write your own ni and let's see how meaningful it is.

Bitcoiniler:
We all have different abilities, thought processes, experiences and genes – so why is a class full of individuals tested by the same means?
How many equations, subjects and dates did you memorize just before an exam never to use again?
How many "A" grades did you get, which were never asked for when applying for a job? Exams are society's methods of telling you what you're worth.

Hello Mr. Suli?

The conventional F grade in our ivory towers meant you've failed and you have to repeat a course, you are given a second chance to try, to proof you can do it. Most students have been aggravated, depressed, heartbroken, dissuaded and discouraged by that alphabet F. But I'll tell you all something derailing and out-of-the-way norms about F. That grade called F doesn't mean failure, so if your reasoning has been stereotyped to thinking that F is = failure, sweetheart at the risk of sounding controversial I hereby put it to you that you are hela wrong. The real F that means failure is
When you can't pay your children's school fees of 300k
When your Coursemate splashes you water from his factory fitted customized range Rover Vogue 2020 model
When you still give #20 offering in church while your mates give #20,000
When 5 years after graduating you are still eating "mummy thank you "
When your wife gives birth to triplets and you took off because you can't foot the bills
When your rent is due and you start avoiding your landlord
When you die and not even your street is not aware of who you are
When you go to hell fire and start selling pure water
When your kids say "daddy buy me ice cream" and you scream "how many times have I told you sugar is not good for your health!!! "
This and many more of it's kind are the real F's For those whose dreams transcends beyond the long brick walls of their departmental blocks
For those who have multi million dollar destinies
For those who see the university as an orientation camp
For the future zuckerbergs and gates, chimamanda and Achebe, iyanya and psquare, Dangote and otedola
For those with similar rocket science dreams like mine
F is just the 6th alphabet of the great British English Stay focused Victoria ascerta !!!

Ride on bro, you're making a whole lot of sense, I'm not surprised a set of people are against what you've said.
I can only tell you we'll actually need them in future to have sleepless nights and run our offices while we sip coffee.I mean if we don't take care of them who will...

I like it but a real F would have been:

Not fulfilling your potential.

Not actualizing your dream because of fear, what people would say and self limiting beliefs.

Not doing anything to improve your situation but blaming government, family background, university lecturer for your woes.

Let what others say or think determine what you do.

UniQuegrACE:
lol sweetheart stop deceiving yourself F means failure, you just failed!

And you just failed woefully, dear!

nigeriancritic1:

I CAN SMELL A POTENTIAL FAILURE HERE!

Bad belle somebory.

The real problem with you all is too much Contradictory knowledge. Forever looking for faults. Don't be short sighted, get educated!

You can rewrite and get a C or B so it's not really failure. Failure in the real world is where I'm driving at.
