From an early age，we were taught that if we wanted to be successful，we had to study hard and get good results at school.In fact，good students may just end up doing jobs they don't like，and some even lead an unhappy life.Why is it like that？
In some parents' eyes，school grades matter most for their kids.In reality，there are many things to consider besides the school subjects，for example，how to be a happy person，what to do to keep healthy，and how to get along well with others.That is to say，school is not just enough if you want to have a great life.
Doing well in school is different from doing well in life.Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life.You may have already known that some famous people，like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs，didn't do very well at school or even failed to finish school.In fact，there are a lot more than just the big shots who are successful in life without finishing school.They seize （抓住）every chance to learn and finally make it to the top.
