Classroom doesn't Guarantee Success
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
ME.
The best graduating medical student does not
necessarily become the best Doctor.
The best student in Chemical Engineering does not
Guarantee best Chemical Engineer.
The fact is life requires more than the ability to
understand a concept, memorize it and reproduce it
in an exam.
School rewards people for their memory, Life
rewards people for their imagination.
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 and radical; take a
leadership position. Start a business and fail. That's
a better Entrepreneurship 101. Join or start a club.
Contest an election and lose. It will teach you
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!"Don't make the
classroom your world.
