成績總是得C的學生比成績總得A的學生更加成功的3個原因
1. They have to work harder to make it happen
1.他們不得不更加努力才能成功Coming out of college with a 4.0 definitely will open a door or two for you. Ears prick up when they hear words like “Magna Cum Laude” or “Top of class” much more than when they hear “Passed all of her classes and ended up mid-level in rankings.” Call it biased, but that is just how it is.
以4.0的成績走出大學肯定會有一兩扇門爲你打開。當人們聽到“以優異的學習成績畢業”或者“班級的尖子生”的時候會豎起耳朵，而當人們聽到“通過了所有課程，最終排名中等水平”的時候，就不那麼有興趣了。這叫做偏見，但是這就是事實。So average students have to work a little harder after college to get doors to open for them. They have to knock on more and, in some cases, beat them down just to get an interview. Sometimes it helps to start with an internship or commission job just to get your foot in the door and then work on making a name for yourself by your work ethic and results.
因此一般的學生，在大學畢業之後需要更加努力工作才能打開爲他們敞開的大門。他們不得不面試更多工作，在一些情況下，只是爲了獲得面試，都會讓他們深受打擊。有時候，通過作爲實習生或者臨時工來獲得進入某公司門檻的機會，然後通過自己的職業道德和工作業績來爲自己爭取一個正式的職位，是一個很有幫助的途徑。
2. They have to be better at networking
2.他們不得不更加擅長社交When you are top of the class, you do not have to know the right people because you are the “right people.” However, when you are “average,” your resume does not make much of an impression so it helps to know a person on the inside that will vouch for you and prove that you are more than just an 8.5×11 sheet of paper. It pays (literally) to become an expert at networking and building your contact list early on in your career.
當你是班級的尖子生的時候，你不需要認識合適的人，因爲你就是“合適的人”。然而，當你是“中等生”的時候，你的簡歷並沒有給面試者留下什麼印象。所以認識內部人士幫你做擔保，證明你不僅僅是一張8.5×11的白紙，會對你所幫助。成爲社交專家，在你的事業早期簡歷你的關係網是很有用（字面上說）的。3. They give others a chance
3.他們給他人機會Average students are more likely to give the less-likely pick a chance because they remember when it was them. Something about seeing yourself in someone else just wakes up the optimist inside of you. Therefore, average students are more likely to discover hidden talents and the future leaders because they were willing to give them a shot.
普通學生更有可能給那些不那麼可能被選中的人一個機會，因爲他們記得自己當時的處境。從其他人身上看到自己會喚醒你內在的樂觀因素。因此，普通的學生更可能發現隱藏的才能和將來的領導者，因爲他們願意給他們嘗試的機會。
