Academic Excellence Is Overrated! by Chuks16(m): 2:11pm On Oct 11, 2014 |
Academic excellence is overrated! Did l just say that? Oh,yes,l 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 u 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, memorize it and reproduce it in an exam. School rewards people for their memory, life rewards people for their imagination. School rewards caution, life rewards d aring. School hails those who live by rules,life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones. So do l mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh,no,you should. But don't sacrifice every other thing on the alter of first class. Don't limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical; take a leadership position, start a business and fail.That's better:be an entrepreneurs, join or start a club.Contest an election and lose.It will teach something political science 101 will not teach u.Attend seminars, read books outside the scope of ur course.Go on missions and win souls for eternal rewards...Do something u believe in! Think less of becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person. "Make the world your classroom,don't make the classroom your world". Thank you. 1 Like |
