External versus internal locus of control

I agree with most concerns discussing on the external versus internal locus of control. Students who have external locus of control tend to have lower GPAs while those with internal locus of control tend to have higher GPAs. Most of the students when faced with problems think that it is not always their fault and do not end up looking out for solutions. This is where most students go wrong since one is not supposed to leave a problem but instead one should focus on coming up with the solutions. I agree that students who have higher internal locus of control are both problem solvers and problem anticipators s well. They are able to tell when a problem is about to happen and able to come up with the solutions towards that problem. We should not let either luck or fate have control over our lives. We are supposed to be the controllers of our lives if we eventually want to succeed. Locus of control is therefore important in determining whether a student will remain successful or not. People with internal locus of control are said to perform better than those with external locus of control. As a student, I ensure I have acquired all the skills in life, not necessarily passing the exams since there is life even after exams. I want to be a strategic student therefore I ensure my locus of control remains external since I want to achieve success. For me to succeed I need to ensure that my locus of control is internal so that I can ask questions and come up with solutions to the problems affecting me throughout my life.
