task 2

Post by robin20y »

People who fail at school will often succeed in adult life. Why it is happening? Give reasons and also give some examples.


Since the dawn of history, it is common that some low achievers in academic education prosper in their adulthood. A detailed study on this subject would be helpful to find the reasons behind that success.

To begin with, charisma of some people in other subjects could be the main reason for this. For instance, Thomas Alva Edison, the great inventor, was regarded as a dull student by his teachers. However, the brilliancy of Edison was not in school education, in fact, he was more dedicated to electronics. His curiosities in electronics led him to invent many useful inventions to mankind. As a result, even now, he is regarded as a greatly succeeded man. From this example it is clear that the extensive interest in some other subjects than the school education can drive one to success.

In addition to this, academic education could not be considered as a single most factor for success, innate talent and hard work also play an important role in it. For example, consider the life of Sachin Tendulkar, the former cricketer, was dropped out from high school. On the other hand, he excelled in the field of cricket. Despite the minimal education, he worked hard to improve his talents in the game, and made himself the "God of cricket". This is an instance where education has no role to define success, while talent and hard work played lead roles for that.

To conclude, apart from education, the factors such as talent, hard work and curiosity can lead one to success. Therefore, we should not consider anyone as less brilliant on the basis of their education.

However, the brilliance of Edison was not in school education. In fact, he was more interested in electronics than other subjects. (<-- It helps to be clear on what you are comparing. For example, 'I like cats more.' More than what? Pigs? Rabbits? A better sentence is 'I like cats more than dogs.) His curiosity with electronics led him to invent many useful things to mankind. As a result, even now, he is regarded as a greatly successful man. From this example it is clear that an extensive interest in some other subjects than the school education can drive one to success.
