There is a common opinion that if you study hard and graduate with an “First Class,” it will guarantee you will find a great job that pays well. Unfortunately, the reality is different.

Although, most positions require you to have a diploma, no one will look through your grades. When you graduate, the only thing that matters is your knowledge and the ability to operate within the system.

So why is it that students that you could barely get an “Average” at the end of a semester manage to become super successful? Let’s look through 7 reasons why “Average” students will be the most successful people in the world.

1. They understand what they want earlier than others
“Average” students don’t spend much time on the unnecessary classes we all have to.

If you are trying to become a technician, you obviously don’t need to write a hundred of annoying essays about culture and your summer experience.

They stop taking the required classes and focus on vocation-related subjects that can help them during their work. World famous innovator and entrepreneur Steve Jobs never finished college and made it to the top of IT industry only because he was focused on doing what he liked. During his famous speech to Stanford graduate she emphasized that “The only way to succeed, is to love what you do. Keep looking, don’t settle”.

2. They get first-hand experience.
Most “Average” students start working earlier than their peers, which lowers their marks as they have to skip classes to make a living.

At the same time, they get priceless experience every “First Class” graduate is missing.

And we all know that you are less likely to be hired without actual experience.

3. They build networks.
While “First Class” students are stuck learning unnecessary subjects, Average students read tons of useful literature and communicate with dozens people every day.

In real life, knowing powerful people as well as the ability to communicate can make a difference in your career.

4. They know how to enjoy life.
When in college, they visit parties and come to the lessons a little bit hangover, nevertheless, they enjoy their life. Same happens when they start working. Plain and simple: happy people are more successful than those who are not.

It happens because they are fun to be around, proactive team players who will cheer up the entire team, which is one of the best skills your boss can look for.

Stressful, negative people, no matter how intelligent they are won’t be in the top list of candidates.

5. They find the simplest solutions.
Billionaire computer specialist Bill Gates is one of the many successful people who cannot show off with their college marks.

Nevertheless, he managed to get to the top by building Microsoft, one of the giant IT corporations. Bill Gates is very open-minded and unlike others, he never looks at grades or even diploma. Moreover, he thinks it is important to think outside-the-box.

One of his famous quotes: “I will always choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because he will find an easy way to do it”.

6. They follow their dreams.
Much of success comes from loving what you do. When you enter college you are very young and might not understand what you actually need.

That’s why it is important to understand that you are not obliged to follow the choice you made when you were 18 or worse, if your parents made it for you. Look at the youngest female billionaire Elizabeth Holmes, who is revolutionizing medicine.

She dropped out of Stanford, one of the most prestigious colleges to follow her dreams.

Another great example is all-known fun-lover Richard Branson, he dropped our school at the age of 15, now he is managing a giant air company “Virgin.”

Likewise Mark the CEO of the most widely social network in the world Facebook.

7. They understand what it is to struggle.
Success requires emotional intelligence, perseverance, passion and, most importantly, the ability to overcome failure.

In business as well as in life, you will go through ups and downs no matter what grades you had in college. “Average” students become more successful because they know what it means to struggle, starting with passing an exam and ending with finding money to start their own business.

At the end of the day, grades are just numbers. True achievement is to become someone in a real world.

And, if you graduated from college with lower grades, don’t despair. Real life and real lessons occur when you leave the classroom.

Well, you're partially correct

Ok

WOW FP THINGS,If lalasticlala did no take am go Fp,i will make sure SEUN ...... I comment my reserve

Very true but if you are still in school strife to be above average.

I perch

This is a foreign article and does not really apply in nigeria.



The fact is. Graduate with grades below average will realize. By d time the are completing their 1st degree and they found out that they are below average due to their un seriousness or lack of good guidance. They wud realize that the labour market would not be happy with them. And even they would not be bold to show their result.


So they engage their self in something that don't need 1st degree cert so no one would be discussing about grades to them


Meanwhile they Zero their mind off getting good job. So it gives dem more focus on what's ever they are doing. And you know what that it. They come out successful business owners and entrepreneur and they will b the one to employ the 1st class graduate

Lautechgossip, this thread is just complete and utter bullshit! Instead of encouraging students to thrive to bring out their best potential, you're consoling average students and lying to them that they're going to be the most successful people in the world. WTF!

To dem guys that there dreams is to be a po.rnstar n ur studying medicine, follow ur dreams now oo b4 it's too late cos there are many doctors out there still hustling to get a job

I don't think so

Another excuse for mediocrity.

To be 'successful' actually means you aren't average, especially with respect to that area of success. One can be average as a medical student and be successful as an entrepreneur. Being average in school and being deemed successful in your chosen career path are not that related. Time and chance also really matter.

Just ensure you are not an average person.

No no no...but for the lazy. guys finding the easy solution, it's a yes and even faster.

This whole write up doesn't make sense and .non-sequitur!..Very fallacious!

true talk at op.i actually cant see the importance of some courses am taking now.no real life application what so ever

An excuse for mediocrity like someone said. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well! Who says first class students can't exhibit all these qualities or better. Stop using Dagote, Steve job, Bill gate etc as your examples. Not everyone can be Dagote. Any one that wants to be successful would be successful! No one force you to go to school, In fact most if not all average students when admitted dreams of being first class or exceptional in class but when that hope is dashed they turn around to bash first class students. You know some successful average students and your radar is permanently on searching for other successful average students, But do you know the amount of successful exceptional students? Of course not! They are uncountable! In fact the only exceptional students that aren't that successful in life are those who thinks learning ends in the classroom. Even Bill Gate said

"It is strange to call me a college dropout in all but the most literal sense. I went for three years and took enough courses to graduate."

He also scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT! which is probably why he was admitted to not just any college, but Harvard University.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to have a good grade in it. What would it take from you if you aim for at least a "B"?

Bullsh!t. This thread is very paradoxical

Many people will use this as an excuse to remain an average student rather than been above. One should just strive to be the best.

True talk..
