We were all children once. And businessmen are no exception. It is noteworthy that if you had a chance to look through the diaries of the most famous of them, you would hardly find good grades or words of gratitude from teachers there. So, don’t rush to scold your children for bad grades; perhaps you have a future Bill Gates or Henry Ford growing up.
As practice shows, a good certificate is not always a ticket to a prosperous life, and not all poor students end up out of work after school. Among the ignorant there are rich and famous people, whose success and perseverance could be the envy of the whole world.
American multimillionaire Donald Trump At school he not only did poorly, but also defied his teachers, for which he regularly received reprimands. The love of knowledge was clearly not Trump’s strong suit, but he was blazing with an unbridled passion for money. As a student, Donald hatched the idea of creating a large financial corporation, and later, through numerous trials and errors, he brought his dream to life.
Founder of Motorola Paul Galvin I also didn’t like to study. While his classmates were sitting in boring lessons, he was selling popcorn, ice cream and sandwiches at the station. The desire to earn money did not allow him to sit idle. Many of his endeavors failed. But failures only strengthened the businessman; he liked to repeat: “I have fallen many times and I know how to get back up.”
Tea Tycoon Thomas Lipton I attended school only on special occasions. From the age of five he worked in his father's grocery store. But the fate of a small merchant did not appeal to him; at the age of fifteen he left Scotland and went to the States, where, according to him, he learned how to do business. Today Lipton is the most famous tea brand in the world.
Henry Ford studied at a rural parish school. It is not surprising that the knowledge gained under such conditions was very mediocre. Young Ford preferred working in a mechanical workshop to studying at a university. The founder of the American automobile industry wrote with errors all his life.
One of largest producers cars in Japan Soichiro Honda Completed only eight grades. He did not understand business and trade issues, did not know what marketing and financial strategy were, and was also far from the intricacies of engineering. However, his approach to creating motorcycles and cars was revolutionary.
There are also many poor students among Russian businessmen
Russian businessmen have the worst academic performance; they are more likely than others to receive unsatisfactory grades. This conclusion was reached by the ROMIR company, which conducted a study to find out how much career success depends on school performance. It turned out that among successful businessmen there are twice as many C grade students as there are excellent students.
The survey was conducted in seven federal districts and 45 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and more than 1,500 people aged 18 to 65 took part. According to the nature of their employment, all respondents were divided into three categories: top managers, entrepreneurs and unemployed.
Being an excellent student is only beneficial in school
School teachers often say: excellent students “will go far.” But life shows that teachers’ expectations are not always met. It turns out that 12.2% of the unemployed are those who received mostly straight A's at school.
It should be noted that not all employers are pleased with candidates with honors. There is an opinion among personnel officers that avid excellent students have weak practical skills, and in the pursuit of straight A's they sometimes miss important aspects. Among the excellent students there are many who perceive business as something indecent. According to the survey, only 14% of excellent students are involved in business, and these are often people who broke their stereotypes after school.
The class of “good people” occupies dominant positions in all three categories: 56% among top managers, 51.8% among entrepreneurs and 54.5% among non-workers.
The most talented are C students
Among the C grade students there is the highest percentage of out-of-the-box thinking, creative individuals. Social psychologists are confident that such children are simply not interested in the standard set of school disciplines. Often they “come out” after graduation or in some extracurricular club. According to the survey, among top managers there are as many C students as there are excellent students (22%).
Poor grades at school do not always mean that a child is mediocre. A poor student is often a leader in his circle, ready to lead others in an unconventional way, bypassing the school system.
Any successful entrepreneur has these same traits - he is not afraid to take risks, go against the norms and rules, so he can create something new and extraordinary.
Look at famous businessmen during school years, you can see it in our PHOTO REPORT.
On Tatiana's Day, which is celebrated not only by girls named Tanya, but also by Russian students, we decided to look into the biographies of the stars to understand how exemplary students they were. Interestingly, some of them did not even finish school. Others, on the contrary, received degrees from prestigious universities.
Let's start with the excellent students. Which celebrity is drawn to knowledge and persistently gnaws on the granite of science? The nerd from the Harry Potter saga Hermione Granger brought fame to the actress Emma Watson. The girl grew up before our eyes: having passed the casting for the role at the age of nine, she gradually turned into an adult with each part of the film. beautiful girl. Of course, during filming there was no time for studying - career came first. But after filming, Emma decided to fill the gaps in knowledge and began to study diligently. In 2009, she entered Brown University. Due to filming, the training did not last long and the documents had to be transferred to another alma mater, Oxford. Then Watson returned to Brown again - the girl does not want to miss the opportunity to get a profession, because you never know what will happen in the future...
"Blonde in law" Reese Witherspoon in the romantic comedy she played a naive beauty who entered Harvard to regain her ex-boyfriend. She didn't get the guy back, but she became an excellent lawyer. IN real life Reese is also a good student. She calls herself a nerd who loves to read. At a prestigious school, the girl received good grades and was one of the members of the support group. Witherspoon entered Stanford University, where she decided to study English literature. But education and a career as an actress turned out to be incompatible, so the training lasted only one year.
Actress Natalie Portman and even teased him about being a nerd. She always took education seriously, managing to combine her studies with her filming schedule. I even missed the premiere" Star Wars"to prepare for exams. Natalie is a graduate of the Harvard psychology department, for whom she also had to make sacrifices, refusing roles in the films “Lolita” and “Romeo and Juliet.” Natalie admits that at first they stared at her in the classrooms, but soon they got used to it and began to treat her like a simple student. Portman claims that knowledge is more important to her than her film career. This is confirmed by the star’s studies at the Hebrew University, where the girl studied languages. The actress speaks French, German, Hebrew, Japanese and Arabic!
The well-known Fox Mulder, or rather David Duchovny, boasts a bachelor's degree in education from Princeton University. David also studied English literature at Yale University as a graduate student. In 1985, she graduated from the same educational institution. Jodie Foster.
And which of the stars ignored the importance of the diploma? There are a lot of them too. Eg, Charlize Theron, who left school at 16 to pursue ballet and a modeling career. Another Oscar winner also entered Nicole Kidman, to care for a mother with cancer.
Many stars faced difficulties at school that they could not cope with. So, Cher suffered from dyslexia. That is, she had problems with the perception of written speech; in other words, people with dyslexia find it difficult to read. Children with this disability have a hard time learning and are often teased. For this reason, Cher left school at 15. This diagnosis prevented many stars from obtaining a certificate. Among them are Guy Ritchie, Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise, who changed fifteen schools, but never managed to graduate from school.
Some celebrities have hooligan pasts. Eg, Gerard Depardieu Already at the age of 12 he left school. With money obtained from car theft and goods smuggling, he traveled around Europe. A Kevin Spacey Expelled for beating up a classmate.
Studying at school has always been a kind of challenge. You gained knowledge, tried to get used to the environment, make friends with classmates, get a good reputation with teachers and demonstrate the acquired knowledge well in various tests and exams.
But not all of this was possible. But if a person is a poor student, this does not mean that he is a fool.
Many great people did poorly at school.
Albert Einstein
The most famous “B student” in the world is Albert Einstein (in fairness, it is worth saying that he still got C grades). Family acquaintances recall that the parents of the future laureate Nobel Prize They hoped that he would be hired at least for the lowest paid job.
Isaac Newton
Can't fight back? Overwhelm your opponent with intelligence! It was after he was beaten by a classmate that Isaac Newton decided to overcome him with knowledge. As a result, Newton very quickly became best student class, and later discovered the fundamental laws of physics, on which Einstein relied in his research.
Sergei Pavlovich Korolev
Continuing the theme of physicists: Sergei Korolev, the Soviet rocket designer, also did not shine at school, studying with only C grades. Nevertheless, he became a key figure in space rocket science of the last century. It was Korolev who created the Vostok manned spacecraft, on which Yuri Gagarin went into space in 1961.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky
From physicists to lyricists: Vladimir Mayakovsky. The brilliant poet at school was still that tomboy. This later became a kind of literary device of Mayakovsky: twitchy, sharp poems with energetic rhythms are business card poet.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
But Anton Pavlovich Chekhov stayed twice in his second year at the gymnasium. But now his works are included in the mandatory school curriculum Worldwide.

Psychologists have long noticed that successful people often they turn out not to be excellent students and good boys, but to be C students and hooligans. Bright, creative personalities They have often been rebels since childhood.
This was, for example, Marlon Brando. The son of a traveling salesman, despised by his classmates, tried to gain authority among his peers with his extravagant antics. One of them - when Marlon rode a motorcycle through the corridors of his alma mater - cost him expulsion from school. Brando subsequently never bothered to complete his secondary education, which, however, did not prevent him from becoming a great actor.
Gerard Depardieu was a juvenile delinquent. At the age of 12, he dropped out of school, traveling around Europe with money earned from selling stolen cars and trading in contraband goods. He, of course, did not return to school. Kevin Spacey also had a stormy childhood: he was kicked out of a military school for brutally beating a classmate.
Al Pacino, a top athlete and school bully, spent so much time on the baseball field that he had no time to go to class, much less learn anything. By the age of 17, he realized that he was simply wasting his time at school. He had to start his future brilliant acting career by working as a courier and dishwasher. And another careless student, Jean-Paul Belmondo, left school at the age of 16 to pursue a boxing career, which, however, lasted only two years.
Of course, among the two-star celebrities, not all were hooligans - some owe their “successes” to impenetrable laziness. For example, Quentin Tarantino was terribly lazy. He skipped classes and studied so poorly that his mother, tired of the constant complaints of teachers against her son, at the age of 15 allowed him to leave school with one condition - to find a job in return.
But Jim Carrey was a poor student not at all due to a lack of diligence. He just showed enough zeal and was in good standing in the class - until his parents had to hard times and he didn’t have to get a job as a cleaner in a factory to help feed his family. But, after working eight hours at the factory (after school), he was so tired that no science could fit into his head. Jim spent three whole years in 10th grade before giving up. He realized that he would never overcome school wisdom in such conditions.
Demi Moore left school at the age of 16 not because of a good life. She had no choice - her divorced, alcoholic mother could not properly take care of her daughter. And Demi began her career as a collector - collecting money from debtors.
Nicole Kidman also had to leave school against her will. Her mother fell ill with cancer, and the girl decided: now there is no time to study, she needs to take care of the person closest to her. And she never returned to school... And the sex symbol of all times, Marilyn Monroe, decided at the age of 16 to marry worker James Doherty in order to escape from yet another foster family and become independent. Marilyn achieved her goal, but school education never completed it.
Some celebrities interrupted their studies not because of family problems or poverty. Children can sometimes be very cruel to those who are somehow different from them. Winona Ryder had to experience this herself, who was beaten at school because she was the daughter of free-thinking hippies, and even dressed like a boy. In the 7th grade, her head was smashed so badly that she had difficulty getting home. Of course, school was over.
Kate Winslet could not stand the constant bullying of herself and herself. Fat Kate (she was very plump at that time) could not come to terms with the fact that she was called at school not by her name, but by the offensive nickname Bubble. Proud Pierce Brosnan could not stand the ridicule either - snobs treated him at school as a “dirty Irishman.” He left his offenders, but was left without a certificate.
There are a lot of celebrities who are dropouts among those who have been diagnosed with dyslexia. The inability to quickly read and assimilate any significant amount of information has long been considered a sign of short-sightedness. But it turned out that IQ had nothing to do with it. For example, director Guy Ritchie's IQ test results were excellent, but he could not study. Unable to withstand the constant ridicule, Guy dropped out of school, not yet knowing what his problem actually was. Doctors made an unpleasant diagnosis only when he was already an adult.
