ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE THE BEST INDICATOR OF POTENTIAL FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE


What do we mean when we say academic performance, sometimes I wonder if academic performance is just about G.P.A and all that , well you might say its all about G.P.A but believe me it’s the power house of success. 

IS SUCCESS FOR ALL ?




 Many at times I wonder, if everyone at the university will become a successful academic. My answer is: they might, but not necessarily will. It is, however, true that your academic performance tells your skills, your skills tells your ability, and your ability determines your success - also in non-academic life if you inssting that academic performance is not a best indicator of success then try ignorance.
QUALITIES OF GOOD ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
          If you take a closer look at what qualities it takes to have an excellent academic performance, you will get to know that this are the qualities required to be successful in life, because to have good academic performance you have to be consistent, determined, focus then and then you can have good academic performance, academic performance reflects your abilities. Why are we in the university if academic performance is not the best indicator of success?, don’t we now see that we are been prepared at the university for the future challenges that lies ahead of us.
WHAT IS YOUR OWN DEFINITION OF SUCCESS?

 Success in its own word comes with lots of meaning and these meanings varies from individual, however your definition of success determines how you dream and work toward achieving it, nevertheless academic success is the primary and major step you will likely take in this race, because it is when you educated and having a degree you get to work in a company that securing you some level of happiness and financial stability which in some definition already is a success, well regardless of how you define success having academic performance will give a boost in achieving it rather than not been educated.
YES TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
        When I told my friend academic performance is the best indicator of potential for success in life, he argued and said how can tha be if Bill Gates was a drop out and Albert Einstein was not a good student, my response to this was what was their foundation of knowledge? he answered school, I again asked what was their reason to go to school? he replied to be successful, I think we should not ignore the thousand of people who were unsuccessful because they did not go to school or had no academic performance, I see those who regard academic performance as not been an indicator of potential for success in life are among those that waits for success to come their way.
ACCIDENTAL BILLONAIRE SO THEY SAY 
The world so called accidental billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, the inventor of facebook became one due to the pressure of wanting to have a good academic career, he was in probation period in his university when he created face book, he knew the gravity of not having academic performance and strive to attain succes in his academics which in return opened the door towards his success.
             I wonder what opportunity is available for an illiterate in this modern world, look around you and you can easily figure out that the world is developing and not degrading, more so, it’s the requirements of our society to have good academic performance, It was a sunny afternoon when my friend who is full of marketing skill but had no good academic performance came to me and said he lost the interview, me knowing well that my friend is naturally talented in that marketing field kept wondering why he lost the interview, and at last I came up with an answer, their were 20 similar people with skills and excellent academic performance, now tell me how many of you will employ my friend if you were the employee? Believe me their will be a time where your skill alone will not help you out, but your skill and your academic performance, then you will realize and appreciate the importance of academic performance. More so its in the race for outstanding academic performance you learn how to be self dependent, how to be hardworking, persistent, focus and compete, no gain saying its crystal clear that those with better academic performance has more opportunities than those without it.
