Grades Are Illusions, Passion and Insight Are Reality.

There are a lot of university graduates who have acquired chains of diplomas, degrees and masters but still miserable, poor and unsuccessful, and they are those without diplomas or masters degrees, but living happy, wealthy and successful lifestyle out there; one reason why grades are illusions.

But what differentiates these two to experience this?

Well, many people go to school without brains, while others have got no school but have brains. We must become brutally honest with ourselves and realize that it’s not only going to school that will make you happy, educated and successful in life, you can still make it out there with or without school; it’s only you yourself who has to. Mark Twain stated clearly that ‘‘some people get an education without going to college. The rest get it after they get out’’.

Yes you need to be educated to do something, but that does not mean you need a degree. All skills are learnable. In fact, if you have no degree you can do anything; because nothing has conditioned you limited.

Find out what you want to do, what makes you passionate about life, having a deep sense of who you really are and have the values you will stand for with your life. Life is about knowing what you want and just go to do and live that life.

You can have good grades but if you lack understanding about yourself, the problems around you and how to solve them, your certificate is just an illusion.

I believe school is a place we go to learn how to solve both our personal and society problems, but it seems as we graduate, majority end up the opposite – waiting for someone else to come tell us what to do with our lives, waiting for an individual or the government to give us jobs so that we can solve their problems and not our own problems. This is lacking insight of our own lives. If you know what you want for your life, you don’t have to wait for someone to tell you what you do with it; you already have the insight, just go do it.

STUPID GRADE SYSTEM

The is important, any personal or society that gets to judge kids by grades as being smart, is worthless; life is way mightier than school grades. Albert Einstein put it this way; “Everybody is born a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid”.

Our society judge kid’s brilliance by how much grades they get, and if they don’t get to have good grades, they are labeled stupid and dumb. This is the reason why most people have end up becoming real failures in life just by failing a stupid school exam. Who said grades are the measure of success after school? Its insanity to train kids to measure life’s success with stupid grades; life is way beyond passing an exam; in fact real test of life begins after leaving school.

Train kids to measure success through solving problems, improving and leading others to success. Success is personal, but the problem is many are trained to mind other people’s personal success, and school facilitates this. Kids are taught in school to fit in the crowd mentality; that’s why the majority end up employees.

It’s not school grades that must determine your life success; it’s you yourself that must determine it and late the rest add up to your determinations. Moreover, you can get all A’s and still flunk life.

It’s only you and your only self, who determines how you will become successful with your life through how passionate and insightful you are with your life.?
