Reasons Why First Class Students Never Become First Class People In
Life
Hardly do first class graduates become first class personality While in
University, we often spend too much energy in acquiring good grades
that we forget to acquire good class personality. After concentrating
all energy in acquiring the first class grades, we transform into a
society where first class grades don’t matter much as having a first
class personality. In school, its easy to read,memorize and pass
exams, but in real life, there is no sure book of life to progress, no
memorizing, no exams, just you and your inbuilt capability which
require no contest with anybody.
Those who eventually become big in life are mostly people who hardly
make good grades in school. Prof. Abletor Sedofia from University of
Ghana has
this to say to us:
“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, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam.
School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their
imagination and innovations. 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 Entrepreneurship 101. Join or
start an association. Contest an election and lose. It will teach
something Political Science 101 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 your
classroom!
Have a great life! |
