Being Top of Your Class Doesn't Gurantee Sucess In Life

This is more for we students, it will pay you a
lot to take note of these wise words.In the
words of Prof. Able for Sedofia from
University of Ghana;

● Academic excellence is overrated! 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.

● School rewards caution, life rewards
daring. School hails those who live by the
rules. Life exalts those who break the
rulesand 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 a
club. Contest an election and lose. It will
teach you something Political Science 101will
not teach you. Attend a seminar. Read books
outside the scope of your course. Go
onmissions 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.And
remember, don't just feel special, BE
SPECIAL.
