Why People Who Succeed At School Don’t Always Succeed In Life

 by naman saini october 07 2020

When we were small, we were taught that if we wanted to be successful, we had to study hard and get good results at school. Getting straight “A”s had to be our goal if we wanted to succeed in life. But in reality, how many straight A students do you know become really successful as they grow up? The good boys and good girls who were very disciplined at school, submitting all their assignments on time and getting good results in exams may just end up doing a job they don’t like despite the fact that they can make money out of it. Why is it like that? Weren’t we taught that to become successful, we’re supposed to study hard and be good at school?

What you need for a good and successful life is not really learned at school.

I’m not discouraging anyone to give up studying; there’re subjects such as languages, simple maths, music and physical education which are useful for us. What I’m trying to say is that the school curriculum is not perfect.There’re a lot of things which are essential to life missing in the curriculum. And there’re many bad habits schools inculcate:

They want us to put up our hands and wait to be chosen. They want us to keep asking other people for permission.They teach us to deliver on, rather than change, expectations.They teach us to redeploy ideas rather than originate them.They teach us to expect that people in authority know – rather than letting us imagine that – in rather inspiring ways – no one is really on top of what’s going on.They teach us to trust that they have our largest, best, life-long interests at heart; without letting on that they are merely interested in our achievements
.But life doesn’t work like this in reality.To succeed in life, you need to think out of the box instead of doing what everyone else’s doing. And there’re many aspects to take care of aside from the school subjects, for example, what to do to be a happy person; how to maintain a healthy relationship; how to work smart; and what to do to lead a meaningful life etc.


Doing bad at school doesn’t make you a failure (and it’s supported by statistics).

While it’s a fact that anyone who has at least a high school diploma has more opportunities because one needs to have some fundamental knowledge and skills; statistics show that people who failed at school didn’t end up failing in life

MEASURE DIS SIMILARTY OF PERSON

  Measuring Dis/Similarities Between Objects (Cells) In 'n'-Dimensional Space Cluster analysis works creating groups that have minimal variance (more similar) within and maximal dissimilarities between them. Cluster analysis can work either agglomeratively or divisively. Agglomerative methods begin with each individual cell representing a group (or cluster) and joins the two most similar to form a new cluster. This then repeats until all of the cells have been clustered into one group. I'll explain this more clearly with graphics below because it is the technique that I will be using classify my cells. Divisive methods start with the entire set of cells, and subdivides it to maximize the dissimilarity between the 2 newly formed groups.  Distance Measures For Agglomerative Methods How do you tell how similar two cells are? It should be pretty obvious from the previous graphs that you can tell clusters apart from each other because the points in space are  closer  to e...

Now, it’s time to cover the opposite side of the coin. There are some major drawbacks to E-Learning, and these problems often get pushed aside in online discussions. After all, who would want to put the brakes on educational innovation? Looking at the industry as a whole also reveals plenty of enthusiasm, with the  statistics of the E-Learning industry in 2020  showing massive growth. However, educators worldwide still recognize some major issues plaguing the industry. Let’s have a closer look at these problems.  These are the disadvantages of E-Learning: Online student feedback is limited E-Learning can cause social Isolation E-Lea...
