Albert Einstein once said, "Everybody is a Genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

The quote above wonderfully captures or highlights the message that we should be careful not to quickly dismiss people and label them as failures in one area without first seeking their strengths in other aspects of their lives. We all have gifts and talents. It is quite unfortunate that sometimes these gifts cannot be reflected from our report cards which are the main measure of success in schools.

This simple doodle video addresses the matter on students who may lose heart just because the main assessment tool or measure of success in schools is often recorded and reflected from our grades and very little attention is given to their other abilities.

As much as this Acron Mobile App is for students pursuing higher learning we thought it prudent to make mention the fact that not all of us who go through senior/high school will end up going to tertiary level. It could very well be that despite all your studying and all your efforts to improve your grades, you just can't seem to get them up to the required level because the cold hard truth is that maybe, just maybe... it is not for you. Your area of excellence and brilliance lies elsewhere. Which then means your fruitless attempts at achieving academic excellence is just like that fish trying to climb a tree and getting frustrated at failing time and time again on what you were never met to do.

Now of course we are not saying that you should abandon learning at schools all together. When the opportunity is open to you learn as much as you can and reap the rewards that the Botswana Government affords you in getting FREE EDUCATION. It is indeed a rich privilege that some children in other parts of the world do not have. So take every advantage and use the chance and time there to the fullest.

If however you have given it your all in academics and your efforts bear very little fruit, know that it is not the end of the world. Find where your "Calling" lies. It is there that you will find fulfillment as it comes to you naturally and ever so effortlessly and you will still be able to earn an income to fend yourself and your loved ones. It may not always be easy but let your parents or guardians in on it and your teachers/coaches too. Then together figure out what possible best future you can have. There may be resistance but that's only because they care for you and wish you well and in today's economy the more educated often come out ahead financially and that all they want for you. However if they are as loving and caring as they ought to be, they will seriously and earnestly consider your strengths and limitations and hopefully device another course of action or path best suited to your personality and abilities.

We all have a gift, we all have that something which we are good. Find your Gift, find that Something you are good at.
