Many people have the misconception that people with good grades and results are the 'smart' people. But can an individual's 'smartness' be entirely judged by our grades?
I mean, everyone wants to get good grades so that they can get a good job, high salary, recognition blablabla. The usual standard stuff ofcourse. But while trying to achieve good grades, many people, in fact most, forget the true meaning of learning. Learning is supposed to be fun, supposed to be interesting, fascinating, breath-taking. Learning is about exploring new boundaries. But now, all we care about is whether we can pass the particular topic or not.
Many people forget that learning is fun. So where has the element of fun disappeared to? And so, through this mad struggle to obtain better grades, people neglect the other aspects. Leadership, learning how to overcome obstacles, organisation skills, planning etcetc. All these are out of education syllabus. Meaning, it cannot be taught. It can only be learnt through first-hand experience.
Most people with good grades, can't even organise people together. They cant lead. They cant do many things. Thats because every day of their lives, all they have been doing to just burying their heads among mountains of books and study materials from trying to achieve good grades. Can these people really be called intelligent?
Because all i know is that, Intelligence cannot be defined just by our grades.
