See Why First Class Students Never Became First Class People In Life by EronsCollins(op): 10:22am On Feb 16, 2016
Hello Friends,

Records Had it that First Class People in Life never made first-class students in school

Here is why
We often spend too much energy in acquiring good grades that we forget to acquire good personality but in the society, first class grades don’t matter much as having first class personality. You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn’t mean you will make more money than everybody else.

The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorize it and reproduce it in exam. School rewards people for their memory Life rewards people for their imagination School hails those who live by the rules life exalt those who break the rules and set new ones I’m not saying one should not study hard in school,

Study hard but don’t sacrifice everything on the alter of first class don’t limit yourself to the classroom, Do something practical Take a leadership Position, start a business and fail. That makes a better entrepreneur.

Join or start an association, contest election and lose, it will teach you what political science 101 will not teach you.

first class is an achievement. But if you dont make 1st dont feel bad, and dont try to feel good by making 1st feel bad.

Some first class go on to make more waves. Others, plateau and never add anything else to their name outside, their initial achievement. At the end of the day, it's results that count. That's all you will be remembered for.
