It’s an incredibly ironic belief that B average students will
automatically be less successful than their straight-A counterparts. It
should be noted that, this is no attack on A students — everyone learns
and works in his own way! Most “B students” have chosen to focus on
other aspects of their lives, while maintaining their grades as best
they can. Though they don't know everything about anything, seem
excellent at nothing but, they know something about a lot of things. In
other words: There is no one thing they do well. But there are many
things they do well enough.
Characteristically, A students on the other hand, know a lot about one thing, whether it is finance or marketing or sales or technology. And they do this one thing extremely well. If they don't do it well, it bothers them. A-students want to do things perfectly all the time, (which is a very bad trait for an entrepreneur) but the trait of a good manager.
However, this is not so to the B students. They are eager to understand everything and a little bit about a lot of things. That is why they get bored quickly with any one task. The ability to focus and be patient is typically associated not with B students (Entrepreneurs), but with Managers. Entrepreneurs want results immediately, while managers (A students) are happy to wait, confident that if they execute perfectly over time the results will eventually follow.
HERE ARE SOME REASONS TO AS WHY ARE B STUDENTS INTELLIGENT THAN THEIR COUNTERPARTS A STUDENTS.
1. They’re realistic
B students know that there are some things they just aren’t great at, and they accept that. B students are realistic about their goals, and their abilities. They set attainable goals, and reset more goals once previous ones were not reached. And because they don’t place huge importance on extrinsic rewards, they often excel at that which they wish to excel at. They could have achieved more with a bit more focus
2. They don’t waste time on frivolous studying
B students don’t feel the need to make classroom study a priority. They don’t love doing homework or studying for exams. Nobody really does. Though they get it done, and learn just to pass the tests, but they also spend time outside the library. B students rarely turn down opportunities to go on adventures or do something fun because they have a project due later in the week. They understand that an unrehearsed adventure will do more for them in the long-run than remembering “Mechanical Advantage” from Physics book.
3. They focus on other interests
B students are generally quite intelligent. They just don’t feel the need to learn only what their teachers tell them to learn. When they find something that interests them, they will put their all into it. Again, they don’t completely shirk their responsibilities. They’ll learn enough about a subject to pass with a decent mark. While they were earning that B-minus in chemistry, they were busy designing a new computer program, or learning accounting software. You can’t put a grade on that.
4. They’re more relaxed and self-defined
B students don’t always need to be the best or get top marks. They are not defined by a grade given to them by a teacher Yes, they still freak out if they fail a test. Even when following their passion, they don’t lose their mind when they don’t get something right; they just practice harder for the next time and are often pretty happy with the results they get. . It’s incredibly possible that many A students can go through high school without actually understanding anything, simply regurgitating notes the teacher gave them. But, the satisfaction does not come from earning a higher grade, but from knowing the job was done well
5. They follow their passions
Many A students spent four years making the grade to please their parents and teachers. B students, on the other hand, graduate high school with a sigh of relief, knowing they’ll soon be able to go to school for something they enjoy. Along with having other interests, they don’t let school get in the way of their passions. When B students are able to finally enjoy their studies, something incredible happens: They become A students.
6. They’re multitask
While A-students may lock themselves away for hours on end in order to study, B students, on the other hand, study in between reading up on the news, checking on other projects, and generally keeping up with the things that actually interest them. Being able to wear many hats is a necessity, and B students have practiced doing that for years.
7. They’re entrepreneurial
Since they tend to follow their passion, and not just what people want them to say, B students often think outside the box. They see something that can be improved and they work towards doing so. Necessity is the mother of invention, and the practical, critical thinker is usually the one who isn’t afraid to go against the grain a bit. While A students tend to toe the line, B students are the ones asking why there’s a line in the first place. They look at the world from an analytical position, and question policies and procedures they don’t agree with. While A students keep the world moving, B students are the ones that want to change it.
For example in a business class, when an Instructor asks “has anyone ever started a business?” Then few students put up their hands. The proposal here is those who put up their hands are great at starting things thus are typical entrepreneurs (though may not so great at managing them). An Instructor proceeds, “I recommend that you entrepreneurs take a look at the people who didn't raise their hands, note down their names, give them a call next time they are about to start a business, and ask them to run it. Those people are the managers”.
Conclusively, there few exceptions to A/B Students rule. The most important thing to realize when you're A-student managers is that you need B-student entrepreneur. You must listen to them. The good news is that A-students must listen to B-students, because B-students know about aspects of life and business that A-students know nothing about. While most A-students are really good at one thing, they tend to be completely out to lunch when it comes to most everything else. On the other hand, B-students are really good at being sort of good at everything. The sooner the B-students and the A-students understand and appreciate each other, the more productive everyone will be.
In the end,. The other role of entrepreneurs is to attract, organize, and motivate A-student managers.
