What happened to the good students who once ranked first in the college entrance examination in their class?

If I remember correctly, the good classmate who ranked first in the college entrance examination in his class is a relative of our family. I should call him cousin according to my seniority. Now he is in Canada, with a happy family of one son and one daughter, a promising job and a bright future.

Speaking of first, by the way, second and third. These two students are now in Beijing and Shenzhen respectively. A small department leader who works in a Fortune 500 company bought a house in Beijing and got a Beijing hukou. The other started his own business in Shenzhen and has been operating for many years. Although it was hard all the way, he now buys a house and a car and lives and works in peace and contentment.

Therefore, it is true that knowledge changes fate.

Some people may object. I didn't get the first place in the exam, but I still settled abroad. Not only that, I also live in a villa, drive a luxury car and have my own company. Some people will jump out and express their dissatisfaction. I just didn't go to college, and now I earn millions a year.

Study hard. What's the matter? Scores don't mean everything! No diploma. Why? Diploma doesn't mean ability!

Are these two sentences familiar? I had this idea of the futility of reading before. However, with the passage of time, I have read more books and more knowledge, and I have become more and more aware of the role of good grades.

Just like a relative who ranked first in the college entrance examination, with his family background, if he didn't study hard, he would never have today's life. Maybe I'll work for two or three thousand dollars in a small city on the 18th line and live a mediocre and monotonous life.

Those who have achieved success without good grades and diplomas, have you ever thought that if you get better grades and read more books, your life may be many times more brilliant than it is now?

After all, looking down from the 30th floor is different from looking down from the 3rd floor. The height determines the view.
