5 qualities which make you fail at school but succeed in life - Faysal Hafidi - TEDxCasablanca
-
0:18 - 0:20I've got a question for you.
-
0:20 - 0:27Which of you was always top of the class?
-
0:31 - 0:35All your life, top of the class?
-
0:35 - 0:36Right.
-
0:36 - 0:39--Liar (Laughter)
-
0:39 - 0:46Well, in precisely 9 minutes and 30 seconds,
I'm going to make you proud -
0:46 - 0:49that you weren't always top of the class.
-
0:49 - 0:54(Applause)
-
0:54 - 1:00You're going to go home tonight
and tell your partner, your children, -
1:00 - 1:02your friends and relatives:
-
1:02 - 1:08"Hallelujah, thank God, I wasn't always top of my class!"
-
1:09 - 1:16In 2007, when I started blogging, I began studying
the lives of several people -
1:16 - 1:19who were successful in their lives.
-
1:24 - 1:28And each of them was successful in their field,
each one succeeded in a different way. -
1:28 - 1:33But there was one thing all these people shared,
just one thing -
1:33 - 1:38which intrigued me, and this was the fact
-
1:38 - 1:47that these people, these characters --
none of them had been really successful at school. -
1:47 - 1:54And some of them had even cut short their education
-
1:54 - 1:57and others didn't even make it to school
-
1:57 - 2:00for long periods of time.
-
2:00 - 2:03So this was a little worrying and frustrating for me
when I remembered -
2:03 - 2:08all those years in which parents and teachers
-
2:08 - 2:11told us, you must work hard, you must get the best marks,
-
2:11 - 2:17you must be one of the best
to get into the best higher education establishments -
2:18 - 2:22and in the end, I note that the reality is this:
-
2:22 - 2:25all those who have been successful at the school of life
-
2:25 - 2:29were not necessarily those who were top of the class.
-
2:29 - 2:32So this meant we needed an answer to the following question:
-
2:32 - 2:40Why isn't it necessary to succeed at school in order to be successful in life?
-
2:40 - 2:47Or even: why is there no direct link between success at school
-
2:47 - 2:50and success in life?
