Success is a success.

ย 

It doesnโ€™t matter where it occurred.

ย 

In fact,

ย 

The essence of education is to equip you with the ability to achieve success in life.

ย 

Not, to pile up degrees.

Donโ€™t allow your inability to perform well academically to destroy your ability to succeed well in real life.

ย 

Our school system is designed to glorify only those who were genetically favoured by natural selection.

This has crippled so many young people in the world.

ย 

Most especially in my continent Africa.

ย 

Each child I come across is very creative, but school smashes that creativity in exchange for a grade.

ย 

Let me make this clear to you guys...

ย 

The only educated person is the one who use his/her THINKING and SKILL ability to get what he/she wants out of life.

ย 

The rest is glorifying nonsense.

ย 

So if you have I million degree and you are not able to get what you want out of life, then you are the most uneducated person in the world.

ย 

Whether you are a professor or not, it doesnโ€™t matter.

ย 

What is the essence of academic degrees if one cannot produce what will benefit his/herself and mankind?

ย 

My sons/daughters if for any reason the school system rejects you or belittle you because you couldnโ€™t do well in testing and grading.

ย 

Go to the real world and prove them wrong.

ย 

At the end of the day, nobody will remember your position in school, they will only remember your contributions to mankind.

Go for self-education, study great books, learn great skills and apply what you have learned, fail and start again, repeat it for years and you will become deadly outstanding in youโ€™re doing.

ย 

Remember, school is not there to educate you, rather school is there to provide you with directions on how to get yourself educated.

ย 

The most educated people that I know are the ones who taught themselves before and after schooling.

ย 

So,

ย 

No matter the difficulty of academics donโ€™t ever quit on your visions and dreams, that is what brought you into this world not grade.

ย 

You are only permitted to quit when you have taken your last breath, but as long as you are breathing, you must continue to push.

ย 

In Ancient Greek, they say:๐Ÿ‘‡

Adopt that mentality and you will overcome many obstacles and go far in life.

Here is what most folks donโ€™t know about academic excellence.

ย 

The same applies to reading and comprehension ability.

ย 

If you are born into a professor's family you will likely have a 99% chance of doing well academically.

ย 

๐’ฒ๐’ฝ๐’พ๐“โ„ฏ....

ย 

If you are born into a family like mine where your mother and father never went to nursery school talk more of university, believe me, academic excellence will be hard for you to achieve to some extent.

ย 

Except you were massively chosen by gene to do well academically, if not you will always fall behind.

ย 

Read up on a research called the ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ง๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต.ย 

ย 

The idea that those who have, more will be given to them.

ย 

The research is saying that those children who start off doing well in school will continue to do well till the graduation level, because the attention of the teachers will be on them.

ย 

Why the ones who are doing poor will be looked down upon.

ย 

When, in reality they are the ones who needs teachers attention the most.

ย 

You see how the system is designed?

ย 

๐“‘๐“พ๐“ฝ, ๐“ฝ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ท!

ย 

Never allow that to stop you from pursuing a lifelong education and self-reliance.

ย 

There is a famous lengthy genetic test of genius by Lewis Terman from 1921 to 1999 which was a land mark in history of psychology and research intelligent.

ย 

The test was conducted among 1,500+ students.

ย 

There was two people who took the test and were rejected ( William Shockley and Luis Alvarez. )

ย 

Both respectively later went ahead to win Nobel prize in physics.

ย 

While... those who passed the test could measure up to those guys genius late in life.

ย 

The truth is,

ย 

Testing and grading canโ€™t tell who will succeed or not.

ย 

For that reason creativity is needed more than grade in our world today.

ย 

Donโ€™t get me wrong, I do not say academic excellence is bad.

ย 

All Iโ€™m saying is that every cอŸhอŸiอŸlอŸdอŸ iอŸsอŸ aอŸ gอŸeอŸnอŸiอŸuอŸsอŸ.

ย 

And, grade alone, canโ€™t determine that.

ย 

School system is using pressure for grade to kill the creative genius in our children.

ย 

If you think Iโ€™m wrong, then that is your problem.

ย 

Once again I say to all young people out there donโ€™t allow academics to determine your destiny.

ย 

Though take your academics serious.

ย 

If you do well in terms of academics; great.

ย 

If didnโ€™t do well; fine.
