It is a very interesting topic to discuss: why toppers don’t do well while back benchers fly high on success? But the answer to this question is having very interesting facts to be understood and also to be followed in life to understand the real definition of success and achievement.
Most of the time it is seen that in whole academic career the students who are praised and pampered by teachers and almost by everyone for being a topper they usually could not achieve much in their further life whereas on the other hand when we see back benchers of that same academic year, it is very astonishing that those back benchers achieve a lot more than they were expected to achieve. So, how does this miracle happen and what is the secret of this miracle? Let’s understand.
Most of the time there is such a thinking that the student who will always get the highest marks in the class will also go ahead and get the best college for further studies and will get the best job after studying from the best college, even school management often have the same perception. Whereas this doesn’t always happen. Most of the time just the reverse of this phenomenon happens. It doesn’t matter how much teachers, parents and school management thinks that toppers will always remain toppers. Whereas, back benchers who are always condemned for their mischief, they succeed a lot more than those toppers and this happens due to few particular reasons.
First of all, it is mostly seen that such toppers are bookworms whose whole world revolves around books in order to attain highest marks. In order to achieve the highest marks, they stay away from the joy of life, they do not communicate with others so that their time should not be wasted. Now these methods surely make them concentrate deeply on their preparation and these toppers earn good marks but they succeed up to that level only where such bookish knowledge can fetch good marks to them but in real world, they need much more than that which back benchers achieve in their mischievous lifestyle that too inadvertently. Here the difference is necessary to be understood that being a careful student is not bad but being mad and addicted to books only while neglecting other innovative resources of knowledge will someday draw a finishing line from where toppers get into the dilemma of what to do and what not to do.
Back benchers always seek knowledge in joyful manner instead of making it a burden in head as a topper always mugs up the course and back bencher uses smart tricks. Such as instead of mugging up a back bencher will opt e- learning technique like mobile teacher app. Through this mobile teacher app, he can even complete his assignments and can learn the course topic more easily than that of a book. A back bencher develops strong communication skills through which he keeps on learning new and innovative ways of study from other good students, whereas toppers live in their wonderland that their study methodology is the best then why to adopt something new. This keeps on degrading their skills to learn. Having connection with all types of students and using the same creativity which back benchers use in mischief, they develop solid problem-solving skills which help them solve all kinds of problems related to their profession and career and gradually they achieve more than they or anybody had expected from them.
Back benchers being very innovative and full of imagination are always lost in their dreamland, they need assistance from others always in academic time to complete their course and homework and assignments. For this they always make solid connections and team bonds with other classmates and in this way again inadvertently they learn how to work with team spirit and they develop the ability to work well with others. Back benchers have a habit of dealing with things with a proactive attitude due to which they stand first to get opportunities and succeed. Now this attitude provides them such great chances in career that they jump step by step the ladder of success and toppers keep on thinking that only they will be most successful. This should be taught academically also that apart from knowledge limited in school they should learn other skills also which are necessary for survival and growth in today’s world.
