Saw this write-up and fell totally in love
with it, I bet you will too!
"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 that 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 creativity. 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 better. It's called
Entrepreneurship101. Join or start a club. Contest an
election and lose. It will teach you something
Political Science101 will not teach you. Attend
seminars. Read books outside the
scope of your course.
Go on missions and win souls 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!!!t#Darnley
