Nigeria's Academic Excellence Is Highly Overrated!!! by feranmmie(m): 2:50pm On Apr 03, 2016 |
"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 doesn'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, 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 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 Entrepreneurshi
p 4201.
Join or start a club.
Contest an election and lose. It will teach something
Political Science 4201 will not teach you.
Attend a seminar.
Read books outside the scope of your course.
Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards...
Do something you believe in!
Think less of becoming an excellent student but think
more of becoming an excellent person. Make the world
ur classroom!"
Happy weekend. #FERANMIECARES 2 Likes |
