Reasons Why First Class Students Never Become First Class People In Life. by starness(m): 2:04pm On Aug 14, 2017 |
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 examinations, but in real life, there is no sure book of life to progress, no memorizing, no examinations, 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: “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 examination. 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! Do have a great day. # MAKING_THE_WORLD_A_BETTER_PLAC E_TO_DWELL ! for more in for.. just click here oketee..co.ke/2017/08/reasons-why-first-class-students-never.html?m=1 5 Likes |

Whilst you may have given vaild points ...I disagree with the topic "first class people "NEVER" make first class people"... A more apt topic would've been; "Reasons why having a first class isn't a prerequisite for being a first class person" Or "Reasons why First class people don't necessarily make first class people" Saying never means you think that ALL individuals with first class are not first class people 7 Likes |

My dad made a first class and is reaping the benefits. This is just what all those third class people say to make themselves feel better. I am striving for a first class too and I believe we should all try and do well in academics. Even if you have other plans, it is still a good back up plan 2 Likes |

Op are you a First Class person in life? I quote from your post "...In school, its easy to read, memorize and pass examinations..." if it was easy did you graduate with a first class? When you give birth to your children, will you tell them not be make First Class? Nonsense Bunch of losers with no positivity to add to the society than to just try to discourage young minds. Before we know what happens, they'll start calling Bill Gates and Dangote that they did not have First Class. Useless thread. |
