1. 10 Reasons Why ‘C’ Students End Up
Being More Successful After Graduation

2. The index of perfect academic success
is excellent grades in all subjects.
Parents encourage their kids to study well not realizing
that A diploma is not a guarantee of a successful job and
happy life. Most of the pupils, who study well, face such
difficulties and challenges in lives that can’t be overcome
even with their exquisite knowledge of each discipline. At
the same time, graduates, who have hardly got their Cs in
most of the subjects, show an unbelievable talent of
survival and reach better heights than their nerdy
classmates. Let’s see why C students appear to be more
successful in life than their A-grade peers.

3. 1. The understanding of their wishes
happens earlier among these pupils
 Secondary school pupils are already able to evaluate the job
market to realize what direction they wish to choose. This
decision results in ignoring not important for the future
specialty subjects and learning only those ones required for
building necessary skills. Moreover, they are going to take up
work they enjoy and some vast knowledge is not always
required. Think only about Steve Jobs, who became a renowned
IT innovator without a college diploma.

4. 2. Earlier first-hand experience
 Usually, C graders do not enter
colleges or universities after leaving
schools and that leads to the
necessity to find a job.
Consequently, this youth receives
earlier job experience that is so
appreciated at work. That happens
several years earlier than among
their peers and sometimes this
experience is priceless and
motivating.

5. 3. They organize useful networks
 We all know that communication can bring about great benefits. Depriving
themselves of the necessity to listen to dull lectures C students communicate
with a variety of people and find useful networks. They have more chances
to meet necessary people, who might be their potential employers or
investors than A-graders and make use of these connections.

6. 4. They have more opportunities to enjoy
their lives and be happier as a result
Young people, who study
well, can’t get relaxed
even at the parties
thinking about their
tomorrow assignments.
Youth with C grades are
not disturbed by this fact
and let their hair down
filling their organisms
with positive emotions
and happiness. They
become more successful
as happiness is a key to it.

7. 5. Their solutions are simple but
extraordinary
 Even the most complex task will not
make a C student make long and
tiresome calculations. Many young
people will look for more creative
ways to find a solution to any
problem. Thinking outside the box
can bring about more valuable
results than following the paved
way. One of such representatives of
C-grade students is a billionaire Bill
Gates, who never pays attention to
the grades hiring a person.

8. 6. They know what it means to
struggle for their success
Most of the non-excellent students are not lucky enough to
receive a dream job only thanks to a perfectly-looking diploma.
They have to pave their way through many obstacles to reach
their heights. It appears to be a very valuable experience to go
through ups and downs as the way in business is similar.
C students learn to struggle right from the school bench. They
look for an approach how to pass tests and exams and graduate
from school instead of being expelled. So when they leave school
they already know how to overcome obstacles and make that
simpler.

9. 7. The presentation of success is
different among them
For many pupils, an excellent grade is a peak of
the success mountain. They do not realize that
these are simple numbers that are quite
ambiguous. C students do not accept a
standard representation of success and avoid
following masses. They build their own path
that will lead them to a prosperous life.
Such young people come to the conclusion that
excellent grades are not the superior dream
either themselves or being not explained by
parents. Consequently, they set their goal
independently and try to reach them alone as
well.

10. 8. They charge lacking
knowledge and skills from others
Students with excellent and good grades
almost always rely only on themselves.
Being aware that C students lack some
knowledge and skills they leverage the
abilities of surrounding them people.
They team up such groups of people
around them that can compensate for
their weaknesses. They are able to force
necessary for them people perform
important tasks without any difficulties
so extra knowledge is not obligatory at
all.

11. 9. They are far from being
perfectionists
 Done task is better than not completed one. This is the philosophy of C pupils
who realize that perfectionism results in procrastination in some time. That is
why they find a golden mean and finish everything that is assigned though
without great desire and diligence.
 These pupils also prefer learning through their mistakes than providing
excellent results with someone’s assistance. That will be much more useful in
further life where they will reach heights easier and quicker than nerds.

12. 10. Self-directed learning is for them
 Why do C students not go to
extremes? They rarely get
excellent grades but non-
satisfactory results are also not
for them. The answer is simple:
they enjoy learning but only the
information that is interesting for
them. There is no sense in
mastering sciences that, to their
mind, will not bring about any
decent results. Consequently, C
students opt for self-directed
learning and complete tasks in
other disciplines only for them to
be completed without paying
attention to the quality.

13. Not every student realizes that grades are just numbers
and nothing more during the school years.
Unfortunately, focused on excellence in studying pupils
get lost when they leave educational institutions as
grades play no role there. C graders solve this problem
while studying yet. Moreover, their representation of
the world and valuable learning experience appear to
be much more useful, so graduating from schools they
put their knowledge to proactive and achieve success
more often in comparison with other students.
