Since childhood, parents have been trying to educate us about education. Almost from the age of two, a child is asked what he wants to become, forced to learn to read and write. And then, when the child goes to school, mothers and fathers watch over their child so that he does not, God forbid, bring a deuce. In fact, not only grades can be an indicator of intelligence. I offer you a very impressive selection of famous personalities who, despite the fact that they were considered and were smart and educated, studied at school for twos and threes. You might be shocked!
10 Losers from famous personalities
Winston Churchill
The British statesman and politician, artist, journalist and writer believed that education and school are two incompatible concepts. Churchill was the eldest in the family, which is probably why no one paid much attention to his school performance. Winston went to school with great reluctance. He was not interested in studying at all, although he was smart.
Vladimir Mayakovsky
The great poet, who is even studied in school, actually did very poorly. He dreamed of becoming an artist, but studies in basic subjects were not given to him. But for some reason it is not customary to talk about this.
Sergey Korolev
The Soviet scientist, designer of rocket and space systems, also did not differ in academic performance. The famous space rockets "Voskhod" and "Vostok" were launched under the control of Korolyov. I would never have thought that such an intelligent and outstanding person studied with only Cs!
Richard Branson
British entrepreneur, founder of the Virgin Group corporation, which includes about 400 companies of various profiles. One of the richest men in the UK! As a child, Richard was very insecure and shy. It was very difficult for him to answer at the blackboard, he was lost, nervous and began to stutter. The boy was even diagnosed with dyslexia - problems with social adaptation. His academic performance was low, and among his peers he was an outcast, and no one even thought that this shy young man, who was interrupting from two to three, would become a multimillionaire. Branson is a financial tycoon.
Isaac Newton
English physicist, mathematician, mechanic and astronomer Isaac Newton was the worst student in the class! It's very hard to believe it. One case turned everything upside down. Newton got into a fight with his friend, and decided that he simply had to defeat him intellectually! Since that time, Isaac seriously hit his studies, and in a very short time began to study better than everyone in the class, respectively, defeating his friend with his mind!
Napoleon
The French emperor, commander and statesman also studied very poorly. The only thing he was good at was mathematics.
Ludwig van Beethoven
But the German composer, pianist and conductor was not given either mathematics or language. By the way, it was hereditary, his father also did not differ in school performance.
Albert Einstein
The fact that the famous theoretical physicist, one of the founders of modern theoretical physics Albert Einstein was a stable C grade is now known to absolutely every student. Albert's parents were very worried that their son would never find his calling in life, and would not be able to get a normal job. But life turned out differently! Einstein not only achieved heights, but also went down in history!
Alexander Pushkin
The great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin studied at the Lyceum. His academic performance was poor, but this did not prevent him from becoming famous. Now at school, the works of Alexander Sergeevich are mandatory in the school curriculum.
Anton Chekhov
And Anton Chekhov managed to become a doctor and a talented writer. His works are also included in the school curriculum. And few people know that Chekhov studied very poorly, and even stayed for the second year!
I think the list of famous people who studied poorly is very impressive. But this does not mean that now absolutely all students need to abandon their studies, setting the above personalities as an example. You just need to worry less about grades, and parents of schoolchildren should understand that, of course, high academic performance is a great pride, but this is not a guarantee that the child will become successful and much will reach!
