I never had great grades in school (‘cept maybe math b/c im asian). I was an average student with average grades, but that never really spoke to what I want to achieve in this world. I never got A’s and always felt like a failure for it. I was never able to achieve those grades and eventually gave up trying, because I thought I was a failure.
People see this as a problem with the education system and argue to change the education system to fit this. I see it as an opportunity that startups can capitalize on. 10% of the world has succeed, yay for them. They’re most likely not on facebook not on social media. That’s a pretty small percentage. There’s 90% of the world WANTING to achieve something. As entrepreneurs (and as me, a product developer) our primary goal is to give them that sense of achievement. We need to give them that success. With the internet and our products, we can make them the most AWESOME people at whatever they want to be awesome at.
