“上个好大学，找个好工作”，这个神句让无数家长累弯了腰，操碎了心；让无数孩子的中学生活身心俱疲。然而，当孩子终于满怀喜悦地进了个好大学，成为A等生，却赫然发现提供就业岗位的企业家大佬们，很多并不是名校背景，像马云、许家印等；有的还不曾上过大学或现在大学还没毕业，像李嘉诚、罗永浩、姚明等。

好工作不就是企业家大佬们创造出来的吗？那么找个好工作不就是给一般院校、不曾上过大学的C等生打工吗？这实在有些凌乱！为什么会这样？一个双语视频告诉你这是怎么回事？

学校是学习就业的，创业是创造就业的，这本是两个世界。因此，中途退学，连大学毕业证都没有的的比尔·盖茨、乔布斯、扎克伯格等，不是名校出身的马云、许家印等所创办的企业却是顶级的，这不稀奇。更夸张的是90后斯皮格尔，这位最年轻的亿万富翁，只差几个学分，差几个月就毕业了，但毅然决然地从斯坦福大学退学，更说明学校的A等生，一纸文凭本就和企业家、创业家关联度很弱的。

人类有多种能力，比如语言、逻辑、空间、运动、音乐节奏等能力。普通学校教育几乎只看重语言与逻辑能力；艺校、体校看重的是运动、空间、音乐节奏等能力。所谓A等生，往往是以上某个或某几个能力特别强。然而创业者需要的却是人际交往能力强，情商要高。因此，微积分没学好的C等生，一点不影响他创造出一个优秀的企业。他需要的是这种能力，把会微积分的A等生招募到旗下的能力，把法律、财务、销售等各类人才，也就是各类A等生凝聚到一起的能力。他需要精通的是学校不教的情商教育。

不同的世界要求不同的能力，在学校里成功的A等生，不一定就业成功，更不一定创业成功。

A等生往往会成为各个领域的专家，比如律师、财务、医生、教授等。这意味着，他们做了事就能拿到薪水。不管企业经营状况如何，甚至不管实质工作好坏，只要做了事，他们总能拿到钱。但也有一群人，即便干了活也可能拿不到钱，甚至还会赔钱，他们就是企业家群体。企业家需要有这种冒险精神，愿意去承担各种挫折与损失，愿意为自己的错误买单，为企业所有人的错误、甚至是上下游企业的错误买单。他们需要的是学校不教的逆商。

A等生中少有人愿意成为这种人，他们不愿意冒着分文无收的风险，不愿意犯错与失败。虽然当中也有人敢直面市场的各种不确定与风险，但他们还缺了财商，充其量只是自己给自己打工，比如开律所、诊所或会计事务所等。不会、不愿或打造不出一个自己可以完全放手也能运转的企业。企业家必备的财商，学校同样还是不教。

财商教育缺失，造成即便是学校的A等生，也通常只知道一种赚钱方式，就是打工赚钱。商学院的经管类专业可能会教一教股票投资，至于创办企业，投资企业、都是缺位的。而企业家赚的是这种钱，致力于打造好一个系统，利用别人的时间（OPT）和别人的钱（OPM）为自己工作。马云、许家印等都有有几万人为他工作，为他赚钱。

因此A等生为C等生打工听起来挺不可思议，但其实并不奇怪，因为学校只教如何打工。C等生拥有了学校所不教的财商、逆商、情商等，A等生为他们打工，这不是很正常吗？让别人给自己打工的关键不是学校成绩好不好、是不是名校、是不是A等生、而是是否具备创业所需但学校并不教的财商、情商与逆商。

有个段子很好地说明了这个道理。“某班主任老师在朋友圈里发了一条微信，高考已经结束，考上大学的同学注意了，要记得和没考上或弃考的同学搞好关系，等大学毕业了好去他们的公司打工，考上一本的要经常联系二本的，未来家乡的领导就是他们……”

不奇怪，只是因为A等生不是全能生，不同领域所需的核心能力是不一样的。

10 Reasons Why C Students Are More Successful After Graduation

In the late 1800s, schools were designed and intended to teach obedience. During the rise of our industrial age, big corporations needed workers for their factories. The purpose of the academic system was to create obedient and compliant workers who never asked questions. There were already plenty of scholars at the time.

Thus, the creation of the standardized test. Our academic system itself became a factory to standardize all of the rising students to ensure they fit the desired mold. If the student failed the tests, they would be held back another year to try again.

Despite the fact that our world has dramatically changed since the late 1800s, our school systems are structured in the same way. Despite the fact that many of us can connect to the internet, there are 10,000 teachers giving the same lecture on any given day across the country.

The internet has changed the world. If you want to learn something, you don’t need to get an encyclopedia anymore. You can go to Wikipedia, or Youtube, or a million other places online. There are tons of programs that teach people how to learn things effectively at optimal speeds.

The world is moving to an entrepreneurial and innovation-driven economy. It is projected that by 2020, over one billion people will be working from their homes. In the future of work, less people will work for one company as generalists and instead will work for multiple companies as specialists.

The world doesn’t need obedient and compliant factory workers anymore. The world needs artists, creatives, hackers, and innovators. We’re done with apathetically living out our lives in school and at our 9-to-5 jobs. We’re sick of it. We’re done with it.

And the best part — the new economy wants it as well.

So with this backdrop, we can now examine why C students are generally better off than their A and B counterparts.

1.

They question the validity of the academic system

C students are not sold on the academic system. They’re not sold on the factory approach. They see a great deal of good that comes from it, but they don’t worship the system. They see its many flaws.

Furthermore, they know that learning can occur in different ways than the system presents, and that learning can happen entirely outside of the system. Thus, academia is only one approach to learning for C students.

These students aren’t afraid to challenge the status-quo. Even if it’s uncomfortable to stand out, it’s less uncomfortable than moving forward in clearly the wrong direction.

2.

They are not submissive followers

C students think for themselves. They don’t walk between the lines without first questioning why those lines exist. Rather than having someone else tell them how to live their lives, C students come up with their own agendas. They zig when everyone else zags.

3.

They are not trying to please and impress their superiors

C students don’t spend enormous amounts of energy trying to impress their superiors. They respect and love their teachers, but they don’t worship them and obey their every request. They don’t see their teachers the guardians of their success. They don’t depend on references or resumés anymore. They realize that in today’s world, their work speaks for itself — it’s online for everyone to see.

4.

They have bigger things to worry about

Ironically, if you’re obsessed with your grades, you’re not thinking enough about your future. People who get C’s are more strategic about how they spend their time. While their classmates are putting tons of energy into an arbitrary indicator, C students are actually pursuing their dreams. They aren’t waiting until after school to start living.

5.

They have their own definition of success

A and B students seek security externally in the form of “good grades.” However, C students know that security can only really be experienced internally. They know who they are. No external standard of success will ever compare to their own self-awareness and acceptance — they’ve defined success for themselves. They don’t care what the masses are competing for, C students chart their own paths.

6.

They know how to leverage other people’s abilities

While A and B students try to do it all themselves, C students build an army around them of talented people who compensate for their weaknesses. Like Henry Ford, they aren’t afraid to admit they don’t know it all. On one occasion, Ford was being harassed for not being intelligent. In response to an offensive line of questioning, he pointed his finger at the questioning lawyer and replied:

“Let me remind you that I have a row of electric push-buttons on my desk, and by pushing the right button, I can summon to my aid men who can answer any question I desire to ask concerning the business to which I am devoting most of my efforts. Now, will you kindly tell me, why I should clutter up my mind with general knowledge, for the purpose of being able to answer questions, when I have men around me who can supply any knowledge I require?”

7.

They prefer self-directed learning

C students love learning. They just prefer to dictate the direction of their own learning — they don’t want someone else to tell them how to think. They prefer to explore and discover for themselves, to study what they are naturally drawn to. They don’t try to force things, but instead lean into their passions.

8.

They’re not perfectionists

“If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.” — Reid Hoffman.

Done is better than perfect. C students understand and live by this. They focus on results and getting stuff done. They know that perfectionism leads to procrastination. They prefer to jump right in and learn through their mistakes, through what the market tells them.

This is why so many successful entrepreneurs struggled in school. They understand that failure is a beautiful teacher, even though many of them got kicked out of school for failing.

9.

They don’t waste energy thoughtlessly

In The 4-Hour Body, Tim Ferriss teaches what he calls, “minimum effective dose” (MED) — the smallest dose that will produce a desired outcome. Anything beyond that is wasteful.

To boil water, the MED is 212°F (100°C) at standard air pressure. Boiled is boiled — higher temperatures will not make it more boiled. If you need 15 minutes in the sun to trigger a melanin response, 15 minutes is your MED for tanning. More than 15 minutes is redundant and will just result in burning and a forced break from the beach.

C students understand this. Their goal is learning. Anything beyond that is wasteful. The energy cost to go from an A- to an A is generally far greater than the actually learning outcome. Thus, it is often wasted energy. C students don’t put more energy into things than they need to. They are efficient, effective, and focused.

10.

They are dreamers

While the A and B students are listening carefully to understand what will be on the test, the C students are looking out the window at the clouds and beautiful landscapes. They’ve already gathered the MED of the lecture. Consequently, they’ve freed up several hours each day to dream of a better world. They are thinking about the big things they will do in life. They are working out important problems in their minds.

You think they’re jotting notes from the lecture? Wrong. They are detailing their ideas and plans. When they go home, they’ll do the MED of homework and spend the majority of their time with friends or working towards their dreams.

所以说，千万不要妄自菲薄，也不要狂妄自大，用自己最擅长的做出对社会最有利的事情，用自己的情商智商以及阅历让自己的人生不荒废，这才是人生价值之所在，共勉！
