Not so long ago, academic grades embodied success, it was the trending thing. Like Robert Kiyosaki’s Poor Dad, many of us strove to attain high grades. Armed with these grades, we would brag, but we have continued to struggle financially, and above all burdened to find our true selves, because we were not nurtured in terms of what we were passionate about.

 Instead, we crammed formulae, notes in history or chemical equations, whatever the subject, and excelled.

There is now a cloud of dissatisfaction that still hovers over academia. We now believe we have been leading a lie, for we were deluded that after we had acquired academic qualifications, our worries would end, on the contrary, misery has not ended. Why is the situation so?

This has given birth to the private school that has perpetrated the glorification of academic grades. The streets are now flooded with academic stars who haven’t made a killing.

Concerned about the trend of academic greatness, I decided to find out the meaning of the word “academic”and was intrigued and challenged in equal measure about its meaning that indicated: “not of practical relevance; of only theoretical interest.”
