Reasons Why First Class Students Never Become First Class People In Life by Lautechgossip(m): 7:46am On Jul 27, 2015 |
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! http://lazyreporta.com/reasons-why-first-class-students-in-school-never-become-first-class-people-in-life/ 241 Likes 36 Shares |

The truth is this; 75% of what we need to get to the top in life is not taught in the Nigerian curriculum, 75% of what is taught in the Nigerian curriculum is not needed to get to the top in life. 117 Likes 4 Shares |

Interesting... unfortunately one reason is that first class people are too smart to take risks. And you don't become successful without taking risks. When things come too easy to you, life becomes less challenging. Check out, first class Nigerian graduates are stuck in Shell, Chevron, Schlumberger or Total. Tell me how many employees of these companies end up with a significant contribution to humanity in the sciences, art or government. For myself, I graduated with a first class, top 0.5% of my graduating set. Yet, I do feel my life slipping away from me. I've got colleagues with outstanding results from universities across the world, yet I see these people with only a lot of money to show for it. No direction, no innovation, just routine life. 76 Likes 5 Shares |

Nice write up. I have seen someone with first class who's now working as a contract staff in a bank after searching for jobs for 4 years. Graduating with first class doesn't guarantee a top life, my dad didnt smell the environment of a university and yet he's a real business man and he make sure we are educated. To study hard is very good but... We need to work more on our personalities than focusing on having first class grades in the higher institution. 8 Likes |

Beefing everywhere.Now,they have shifted their beefing to firstclass graduates.Nawa o for these jobless people... There is no excuse for your failure.Try your best anywhere you find yourself and who told you that all firstclass graduates are only concern about their books without social life?Firstclass maynot be the richest but definitely there is self confidence 33 Likes 1 Share |
