We were all children once. And businessmen are no exception. It is noteworthy that if you happened to look through the diaries of the most famous of them, you would hardly find good grades and words of gratitude from teachers. So, do not rush to scold children for bad grades, perhaps the future Bill Gates or Henry Ford is growing up with you.

As practice shows, a good certificate is not always a ticket to a prosperous life, and not all losers after school are out of work. Among the ignorant there are rich and famous people whose success and perseverance would be the envy of the whole world.

One of the largest car manufacturers in Japan Soichiro Honda completed eight grades. He did not understand business and trade issues, did not know what marketing and financial strategy were, and was also far from the intricacies of engineering. However, his approach to the creation of motorcycles and cars was revolutionary.

There are also many losers among Russian businessmen

Russian businessmen have the worst academic performance, they get unsatisfactory grades more often than others. This conclusion was made by the company "ROMIR", which conducted a study in order to find out how much career success depends on school performance. It turned out that there are twice as many "C" students among successful businessmen as "A" students.

The survey was conducted in seven federal districts, 45 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, more than 1,500 people aged 18 to 65 took part in it. According to the nature of employment, all respondents were divided into three categories: top managers, entrepreneurs and unemployed.

Being an excellent student is beneficial only in school

School teachers often say: excellent students "will go far." But life shows that the expectations of teachers are not always justified. It turns out that 12.2% of the unemployed are those who studied at school mostly with A's.

It should be noted that not all employers are pleased with candidates with "red diplomas". There is an opinion among personnel officers that inveterate excellent students have weak practical skills; in the pursuit of fives, they sometimes miss significant aspects. Among the excellent students there are many who perceive business as something indecent. According to the survey, only 14% of excellent students are involved in business, and these are often people who broke their stereotypes after school.

The class of "good students" occupies a leading position in all three categories: 56% among top managers, 51.8% among entrepreneurs, and 54.5% among the unemployed.

The most talented - triples

Among the threesomes, the most high percent out-of-the-box thinking, creative individuals. Social psychologists are sure that such children are simply not interested in the standard set of school subjects. Often they "reveal" after graduation or in some extra-curricular circle. According to the survey, among top managers there are as many "C" students as "A" students (22%).

Poor grades in school do not always indicate that a child is mediocre. A loser is often a leader in his circle, ready to lead others in a non-standard way, bypassing the school system.

Any successful entrepreneur has the same traits - he is not afraid to take risks, go against the rules and regulations, so he can create something new and extraordinary.
