Why do some people with poor grades suddenly succeed?

Question: Nowadays, many students with good grades in society work for those with poor grades. Is going to college really useless?
People will encounter all kinds of changes in their lives, which is particularly normal. For example, some people have been excellent from elementary school to high school and admitted to famous universities, but they only found an ordinary job after graduation from university and didn't play very well. This situation will make people very depressed and confused. For example, some students have always had average grades, but after graduating from college, they have become excellent entrepreneurs and politicians because of various opportunities.
These examples embody a principle? A person's success comes not only from academic performance, but from many factors. Among them, personality is one of the most important factors.
Yu: Why are people with poor grades sometimes more successful than those with good grades?
Why are people with poor grades sometimes more successful than those with good grades? In fact, the proportion of successful people with good grades will be relatively large. Because students with good grades generally go to better universities, and the average salary of good universities is much higher than that of ordinary universities. So the question should be. Why do some people with poor grades suddenly succeed? I think there are three main reasons:
First, some people with poor grades spend less time on their studies, not because they are stupid. They are usually attracted by other things and distracted during their study. For example, falling in love, playing various extracurricular games, participating in activities between classmates, or sports and literary activities. Such people usually spend their school life with confidence. Because they know that their grades can't go up, not because they are stupid, and they won't feel inferior because of it.
Second, although some people really don't like learning, they are very outgoing and positive, and like to deal with all kinds of people in society. They will keep in touch with all kinds of people in the society, and some people even become social gangsters before graduating from high school. This kind of people, because they are often fearless, generous, in the past few decades in China, this kind of people are often more comfortable in society. If you can eat well, you will communicate with more people and have more opportunities to meet opportunities. As long as we can seize two or three of these opportunities, we can succeed.
Third, these people with poor grades are often rich children or children of the government. Although my grades are not good, my ability to mobilize resources after graduation is much stronger than that of ordinary people. We may see some rich people say to give children hundreds of millions of dollars to exercise and let them grow up. It is impossible for the poor to give children thousands of dollars to exercise. This is a phenomenon that will occur in any society, whether it is the United States, Britain or China. There is no doubt that these rich children and government children have the ability to mobilize more resources to achieve greater things.
Through the analysis of the above three aspects, we will find that people with poor grades sometimes achieve greater success than those with good grades. When people with poor grades succeed, such as having their own company and business, they naturally need help. The first person they think of is often the one with the best grades among their classmates, because they know that the person with the best grades is smart and knowledgeable, and often can do practical things and obey. Therefore, in this sense, if people with poor grades need a partner or even a partner after their success, they will often consider their classmates with good grades first.
Therefore, it is normal for people with good grades to work for people with poor grades. For example, my grades are not particularly good. When I successfully founded New Oriental, the first thing that came to my mind was to make New Oriental bigger with people with better grades in our class. For example, Bao and other students, they are all very good students.
What needs to be discussed next is, if people with good grades encounter such a situation and work for people with poor grades, what kind of mentality should they hold? I think there are mainly the following points:
First of all, we should do it with an attitude of acceptance and even joy. There is a simple reason. Society itself is ever-changing, and people are ever-changing. The so-called thirty years Hedong, thirty years Hexi is such a concept. No matter whether your grades are good or bad, when your classmate has a successful career and is willing to invite you to work with him, whether he is your right-hand man, your partner or even an ordinary employee, I think this is an opportunity for integration and a complementary talent. At this time, if you care that his original grades are not as good as mine, I think it is a shame to work for him now. I think this exposes your bookishness and your ignorance of social changes and human changes.
Second, if you work for students with poor grades, you should give full play to your strengths and make a better career together. Your original grades were better than his. The biggest possibility is that your IQ is higher than his. Of course, your EQ is not necessarily the same. Since your IQ is higher than his, you can accept more knowledge and make more innovations. So, this means that you can make your own contribution to this cause. For example, Sean is much smarter and wiser than Liu Bang, but Sean doesn't consider himself Liu Bang. He thought he could be Liu Bang's counselor, just as Zhuge Liang was Liu Bei's intellectual star.
In this sense, I think that students with achievements, knowledge, insight and wisdom should help those students with lofty ideals, resources and opportunities. Only in this way can two people unite to make their career bigger and better. Of course, the premise is that students with poor grades also have such thoughts and are willing to cooperate with you.
Third, in the long run, the future must be dominated by people with good grades and strong abilities. In other words, good grades and good abilities exist in the same person. In the past 40 years, many uneducated people in China have achieved success. This is only because China's own university education has been underdeveloped in the past 40 years. However, with the popularization of higher education in China more than ten years ago, it will be more difficult for people without knowledge to succeed in the future. However, this still does not rule out that students with average grades in college will be more successful than those with good grades. Because as I said just now, everyone can mobilize different resources and abilities.
Some people are people who can gather resources, some people who contribute resources, some people who can mix knowledge together, and some people who specialize in bringing knowledge to the highest level. Therefore, I think the future China society will be a win-win society, instead of paying attention to identity and status, not to mention who gets good grades and who gets poor grades. If people with good grades are still insisting on their good grades, they will disdain to work for people with poor grades; Or people with poor grades, because they think the other person's grades are good, now they want to bring him to the company to insult him. These are very outdated and decadent ideas. Therefore, I hope that students, regardless of their grades, can combine according to their different abilities to become a strong team and make contributions to the future innovation and development of China.
