Jack MA - The Richest man in China said; "if you put bananas and money in front of monkeys, monkeys will choose bananas because monkeys do not know that "money can buy a lot of bananas". In reality, if you offer JOB and BUSINESS to people, they would choose JOB because most people do not know that BUSINESS can bring more MONEY than wages and salaries.

Similarly, Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the best selling book "RICH DAD, POOR DAD" and also a business partner of Donald Trump once said; "one of the reasons the poor remain poor, is because they are NOT TRAINED TO RECOGNIZE ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITY".
"Academic excellence is overrated''
Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life.
You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money in life.The fact is, life requires more than the ability to understand a concept.
School rewards people for their memory.
Life rewards people for their imagination.
School rewards caution, life rewards daring.

School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones. Do you know the name Peter Drucker? Well, in case you don't, he's one of the greatest management experts in history. He said; "universities won't survive. The future is outside the university campus, outside the traditional classroom".
Don't limit yourself to the classroom. So, do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh no, you should study hard.
Do something practical. Take a leadership position.
Start a business, fail and flourish. That's a better Entrepreneurship 101.
Join or start a good club that is - mastermind. Popularized by Napoleon Hill in his famous book, Think and Grow Rich, a mastermind is a group of individuals who come together regularly (either in person or virtually) in order to discuss important personal or business issues and get differing perspective to help make the best decision, and/or to change habits and routines from negative ones to positive ones. You never know what ideas will birth from the cross-pollination of like-minded people sharing their triumphs and disappointments. Without much ado, masterminds are a great way to connect with other people of like-minds, land big opportunities, and create promotional partnerships.

Contest an election and lose - you will win later. Step forward, try politics, try farming, try businesses, try an extra thing. Above all, discover your passion and monetize it.
