To answer this question we need to see the differences in the behavior between the two types of students. "A" students are best in what they are told to do - "do your homework", "learn this and that", "read this book", "write about..." and so on. They are perfect in task executions and small goals completion - tasks and goals that someone else set for them. Their student years are their test for their capability for fitting into the world's "system" - get a job, work 5 days per week 9AM to 6PM, 52 week per year until you retire. Maybe "A" students have difficulty to set their own goals in life - by "goal" I mean things that are so big that will change their lives and most likely the lives of other people. Perhaps, "difficulty" is not the right word. Maybe the reason is that they don't have time to look around and understand how real life works. They expect somebody else to give them tasks and set their goals. But these goals are dreams and ideas of someone else and at the end this someone is the one who will fulfill his dreams and will live his dream life. "A" students want to perform great and usually like competition. In most of the cases, they have skills that excel them from others. Usually, they are very smart and intelligent and are great specialists in something.
On the other, hand "C" students totally fail in the test for fitting into the "system". Their poor marks show that during their student years they spend most of their time in things different from learning lessons and doing homework. Instead, they spend their time in something else. Perhaps, they spend time with each other - time they learn how to communicate, how to understand the person in front, how to understand what someone's values are and how to use it. Maybe they think and discuss ideas?! Perhaps, they spend time in watching - they just watch how the world works. Or maybe, they just dream. They dream of big things - things that are so huge that usually would involve thousands of people to achieve. The most successful people in history are dreamers, so maybe it makes sense to think that if someone develops his dreaming skills from an early age, he would have good chances to become a successful person.
