Is academic performance the best indicator of potential for success in life?
Overall, in the majority of cases, academic success precedes success in life, as it opens gateways to many opportunities through allowing one further education, which leads to more gateways being opened for you in life.However, having said this, I do believe academics won't get you the whole way there. I thoroughly agree that true success requires passion, determination and devotion, as well as creativity and ingenuity, which may not necessarily be able to be taught in a classroom. Therefor, academic performance is a good indication, but not a guarantee of success.
