There is much more to life than just getting good academic grades

Vanity of vanities; that’s what some say this business is. And it is not the business of selling and buying; the business of negotiating and haggling over prices and commodities or services. It is the business of schooling. Some people say – and it is a good number – that one of the most wasteful endeavours is schooling.

For where it is expected to guarantee a better life, they say, it often doesn’t afford one a better existence than the next man who probably has not done enough schooling. Such people, usually the proponents of ‘hustling’, will tell you that it is better to hustle in life than to rely on education. Whatever that means!
