A's is like Quality of Ammo in our life. But if we cant represent ourself properly ( Bad aiming ) we cant hit any shit. But if a person have an accuracy of 95% but he have only 1 rusty bullet. That person is better than a person with a lot of bullet but keep missing.

Example : 1 shot headshot or 10 shot hit air ?

At the end of the day, it's your future. No matter what you're doing, work hard. Of course there'll always be people who choose not to work hard and complain only.

That's OK too, we all need people to wash our cars and clean or houses..

Getting 'A's is useless? You must be comforting yourself because you can't get any 'A'. It is like people saying why buy so expensive car, better invest in properties., because they cannot afford it.

See the ratio, not only quote BG or LGT as example.

I guess ts needs to meet more people. Usually those who excel in exams are those who possess good people skills. The example you had mentioned earlier might be 1 of the rare exceptions.

I have plenty of friends and most of us are straight A students. We play hard and study hard and yeah we do have a huge network of friends. On the contrary, those average and below average students can hardly speak and write well. Talk about communication skills huh.

The main difference between 5A and 5E is that 5A can get you into some prestigious uni and course such as medicine/dentistry and 5E can get you no where. wink.gif

That'd imply you study just for show? Want me help you set up a stage in some shopping mall to show that you are studying?

People study because it's the easiest way to go up, to go somewhere. Start business you say, I'd bet its harder to maintain a business than to study. Studying in comparison is much easier, there are tried and tested methods to study, but doing business has so many uncertainties, you won't even know if you go f**k upside down in business.

What do you think is harder, try to score some As in exam, or get your business to succeed? It doesnt matter whether you can get job with 5A's, but choosing between a person with 5A and another with 5Es to hire, the choice is pretty obvious.

It is not uncommon that people bring up the street smart > book smart issue, especially amongst those who can't succeed in their academic field. No offense, I'm not referring to anyone here.

If you consider the ratio of success between book smart and street smart you'd know it actually means something when you're outside. Successful rags-to-riches stories spread like wildfire that's why people think failing your grade isn't an issue. It's like a thread I saw the other day condemning iPhone just because one exploded out of thin air. (And no, I have a Nokia.)

hmm.gif hmmm....yeah...starting a business is hard...the hardest part is to maintain the business...to keep on surviving....that's the trickiest part...as for study....well people get so many A's to ensure they get a good job...they feel secure that way...like myself...graduating with an average CGPA..or should i say low than average doesn't secure me in any field...when i failed the 1st impression (looking at my result)...well...it's hard to say...must experienced it 1st...now, im happy with my job...being my own boss... icon_rolleyes.gif

rags to riches is like the underdog story, people like them, love them and gives them hope. education to most parents is something like an instant class swap, thats why the importance, you can certainly get somewhere with education. a good grade in uni would automatically mean you get a minimum pay of a professional instead of a mcdonalds delivery guy. this is the difference in what makes a paper, and why people opt for good grades.

however when people are already in that class they wont feel it unless it hits them, say if TS failed all his exams, got kicked out of uni and have to work in some SPM standard jobs his whole life the differences will be obvious. this naturally is assuming that he is alone and family is held constant.

but to say that a degree will grant you riches is naive, it will bring you bare minimum liek a passport; after that the world is for you to make it.

It's your choice to study or not. I have never mentioned that you will not succeed without obtaining a string of As. What i had written earlier is to show that high achievers definitely have the upper hand to be successful compared to average joe.

nod.gif What I meant was the papers one have from their academic performance won't guarantee wealth, but it's a stepping stone for the future and very significant once you step out fresh to look for opportunities. To me, the saying "As won't get you anywhere" is quite ridiculous to be honest.
