Already part of the elites

Had a joke with Bright tonight that freshies should be getting used to C's in NUS. "Noooooo!!!" he exclaimed.

There is no need for frustration over the inability to score consistent A+'s and A's because University undergraduates and graduates are already part of the elites of society. Being average in University is being the best in society. Therefore, a job is guaranteed for the most average University undergraduates, except in times of harsh economy where most everyone is affected.

Exceeding average-ness, it reveals a particular talent for a particular field. Referring to my earlier post titled "Hardwork", dated 20th October 2007, innate in everyone is a unique ability that can be developed and honed to perfection. For example, a consistent A-taker in the Social Sciences should probably consider a career in the area of Academic research. This is because it is a unique skill, not unlike that of a sniper or dancer. A certain amount of talent is required. Therefore, it is perfectly alright being average in grades, for one is a distinction elsewhere.

In conclusion, while grades are important, they are not everything. My dear readers, please do follow your heart and passion, for you can :)

Having said all these, it is crucial to realise that there are many non-University graduates who succeed and many University graduates who do not. Clear and plain fact. It goes back down to the accumulation of assets**.
