Good morning everyone present. I feel immensely privileged to have got the opportunity to express my views on ‘Academic excellence is the only requirement for successful career’; I am going to speak against the motion.
I strongly believe success has little connection with one’s academic excellence. I have known many greatly successful people who have achieved whopping success without doing much in academics. Personalities such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Henry Ford, etc. achieved great success in spite of not academically brilliant.
Similarly, Academic excellence cannot be the criterion to measure intelligence. Einstein was not a very bright student. Patrick Pringle, his biographer in his book, The Young Einstein writes about an incident in Einstein’s early life when he was expelled from a school. Einstein proved the headmaster of the school wrong by becoming world’s greatest scientist. So, this theory of academic excellence’s correlation with career success is full of flaws.
Anyone can become successful without being brilliant academically.
Answer:
I firmly oppose this. because when we peep into the past, we find out that those who glorified the world with their brilliancy, were not academically that great. I could even name some right now; Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Mukesh Ambani, Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar, Amir Khan, Mary Kom, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, Harry Houdini, Aishwarya Rai, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Mark Zuckerberg and the list is exhaustive! All of these DID not have ANY formal education provided in a school but They DID have an amazing and probably the best teacher one could ever get i.e. Experiences Of Life!
This one is against the motion but it's not the whole thing. I've specifically mentioned the examples part. Hope it helps!
