Grades or Knowledge? - Page 2

In case of a very reputed institution, the graduates need not even display wit! It's similar to people receiving accolades on account of their reputation,etc. But in the long run, the knowledge,ability and life skills is the sole deciding factor. Rakhesh Jhunjhunwala, who is a CA, and not an MBA in finance , is the greatest investor of India, who started off with 5000 bucks and now has 5000 crores. Natural talent is another important factor.

To me, that doesn't make sense, man. reputation of the institution and the student have no practical connection. 😕 Right, umm. . . it's plain wit and destiny!

Cramming? phooey. I stopped cramming since the 4th grade when answers exceeded 5 sentences. Cramming is a sin, according to me.

I stopped cramming four or five years back, I'm in eighth grade and back then, I stopped taking my mom's help in studies.

How would you get good grades when you lack knowledge?

You were the one started the topic "Grades or Knowledge" I assumed that you had in mind the fact that they were two different elements to talk about? That's why he made them unrelated, I suppose.

Err, I get it! 😆

My friend has a very good knowledge, he gets the gist of everything, better than some of the toppers, but doesn't feel like studying everything in detail. Hence there is, in fact, a distinction between the two. You do not, I repeat, do not need good grades to be knowledgeable .

And I have this friend who doesn't anything in detail and mugs the whole notebook up and tops every time. In her case, you do not need knowledge to get good grades. 😆😉

Definitely. You can be a talentless, mindless, dis-credible good for nothing and still get a good place if you have the right contacts. Whether they can perform in the long run without improving their worthless ways is something I highly doubt.

I believe, fetching things through connection doesn't benefit the person, even forget the firm he is working in! 😆
