Academic
excellence is overrated!!! Did i just say that? oh yes...Being top of
your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be top of
life.You could graduate as the best student in finance but it doesn't
mean you will make money more 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,memorize it
and reproduce in an exam.School reward people for their memory,life
reward people for their imagination.School rewards caution,life rewards
daring.School hails those who live by the rules,Life rewards those who
break the rules and set new ones. So,do i mean you shouldnt study hard
in school?oh no,you should.
But
do not sacrifice everything on the altar of a first class.Dont limit
yourself to the classroom.Do something practical.Take a leadership
position,start a business and fail.Join a club,contest an election and
lose,it will teach you something that political science 101 wont 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!!!
