Why do C+ students find success, while Valedictorians live average lives?
What's the secret? It's simple and shocking.

C+ students don't get nowhere near as rich like the ones who learn themselves and treat it with passion.
Correct. I don't believe monetary success is correlated strongly with G.P.A. The true secret is that grades don't matter. If you are a curious self-learner and you attack projects with passion then you will find your success. Thanks for the comment. I agree with your thoughts.
reasonable explanation, I heard that before :) succes equals thinking out of the box, not letting them tell you how to do it :) upvoted!
Most people involved in this space are free thinkers. It's something I really appreciate about Steemit. Thanks again for your comment @brothermic.
Great post. Very useful information for a student like me who is pursuing through computer engineering.
It seems the determining factor is hard work. It levels the playing field to some extent. Now if someone is hyper-intelligent, hard working, and a free thinker, I believe that is the killer combo. Thanks for you thoughts. I appreciate you watching the video.
I appreciate your thoughts @happymoneyman most of the new applications built using C and mostly C++. But there are huge earning opportunities in other languages too. Like PHP Facebook uses it. node family of Java is also demanding. R and phyton doing great in data analytics and AI.
Oh funny, I just realized our misunderstanding.
I was referring to C+ Grade Point Average. I'm not referring to computer code.
I should have known with all these great programmers on this site that computer lingo would be the default. Haha. Cheers.
Oh, you nailed it @happymoenyman. Next time I have to be careful as to me C always seems programming language. Thanks for letting me know.
That is awesome. You see your passion in everything.
Thanks for the comment. I'm not a programmer. I really encourage you on that journey. People like you are breaking new ground and you have a chance to affect the world. Work hard and go get it. Be an innovator.
Thanks for the kind words. I hope one day i will be able to give more happiness to the world using my skill sets.
Keep it up. If you keep that mindset you will have a beautiful life.
I can definitely see how the idea could work out in some situations, but you have to take in mind that just because they are C+ students does not mean that they are C+ intelligent. Einstein failed elementary school and never learned to tie his shoes but went on to be one of the most memorable minds of our time.
And then there are people like myself - I've had straight As and one B over the past year at college, but I am doing it so that I can manipulate the system. I am 29 years old next month and have a very sound view of who I am and what I want, I am an extremely independent person with a disdain for authority - still I seek straight As to be able to have the gov't pay for my doctorate, and a $100,000 laboratory when I finish.
Brilliant. You're actually getting into the next level of this information. I agree great minds often times don't jive with the simplicity of school.
Then there are people who get good grades in school as a means to an end. It sounds like you are going for good grades to get a huge payoff. You have a plan and you're playing the game to attain your goals. I'm totally on board with this approach.
I think the disconnect is with people who want good grades just for the sake of having good grades. If the end game is good grades then it doesn't help.
In my own experience I got my BS in Economics and graduated with honors. I actually got good grades. I did it while attending class as little as possible and gaming the system as hard as I could. I never bought in.
I really appreciate your approach. When it comes down to it, each of us has our own path.
I love to see that you don't just fall in line. Keep it up. Sounds like you will be a great doc when you get there.
Have you looked into the structure of the school system that most of the world follows? It is designed after the Prussian empire's schooling system which was meant to create mediocre citizens of average intelligence with equal levels of understanding. Highly intelligent individuals won't take the cookie cutter and break the mold.
I definitely agree with you about the disconnect. Our societies place so much weight on a piece of paper that hardly do people care about the actual knowledge any more.
Good job gaming the system! Not everyone can do it. ;) I attend every class, but I only spend like 30 minutes on homework where we're told the average is 2hours per class.
Yea, I agree the education system is pretty far down a broken road.
I heard a theory that I think has a lot of merit. Our current curriculum structure was developed in the wake of the industrial revolution. It was designed to turn the masses into factory workers to power the engine of America. If you need millions of people who will work on an assembly line, they need to be indoctrinated to follow rules, play their part, believe in the system, not ask too many questions, etc.
I think this lines up with your mention of the Prussians.
I don't know if the powers at be planned this or not. I do know our school system definitely wasn't designed to nurture creative, free-thinkers.
I believe the reason why some C+ Students get more successful is that many of them think a different way which sets them apart from the masses. Its not to say that A students are not successful but more C students may also be able to come back and handle failure alot easier than A students. I recommend reading the book by Robert Kiyosaki titled "Why "A" students work for "C" students and Why "B" students work for the government"
No offense meant to anyone I myself am a A student.
Great comment. You bring up an interesting point.
It's the way people think that sets them apart. It's the people who bounce back from failure that show an advantage over time. The GPA isn't really the correlating factor.
Thanks for the book recommendation.
I appreciate the thought you put into commenting.
Cheers.
Nice Blog Post, very good!
Keep up the good work!!!
My first day on steemit, so much to discover!
Thank u !!!

Thanks for the comment. I will check out your page. Welcome to Steemit.
The biggest thing I am trying to figure out is what the best coding language to teach my students here in Australia is when they are completing their digital technologies curriculum
I wouldn't have any good advice for you. Unfortunately I'm not a coder.
Teach them to code the blockchain. Smiles
Cheers. Good Luck with your teaching.
