Students who keep their rooms neat and organized will be more successful?

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students who keep their rooms neat and organized will be more successful than students who do not.

A student who makes his/her room a mass seems to be less likely to be orderly in study and work. Does it mean that the student would be less successful? I don’t think so. A neat and organized room could only indicate a good living habit but not be a sign of future success.

The only thing that matters is the capacity one has in the relevant field if he/she wants to be successful. Take the job interview for example. Does any interviewer ask whether the interviewee keeps a neat and organized room at home? No! Why don’t they ask about that? The reason is that this kind of thing has nothing to do with whether the interviewee is capable for the job. A student may have a disordered table but still get high GPA; an athlete may have a messy bed but still get the gold medal. So interviewers care more about what the job candidates can do and how well they can do their jobs. If there is any characteristics they are looking for, that could only be the communication skills with colleagues.

In fact, many successful people have bad living habits. Albert Einstein never paid much attention to his dress, his hair or things like that, let alone keeps a neat and organized room. But nobody would disagree with that he is one of the most influential scientists of all time. It even seems that the more successful a person is the worse his/her room is, because those famous people always focus exclusively on their relevant fields and care about nothing else. Thus we could hear about the messy office of Bill Gates, the worn cloth of Chairman Mao, the physicist Newton who threw his watch into the pan and so on.

Someone may claim that keeping an organized room could help make a person more ordered in doing other things. It’s true. But by further speculation, I don’t think it’s worthwhile to spend so much time in keeping an organized room that we sacrifice the time every day. This may also lead a person to become too concern about his/her appearance which give rise to vanity.

In conclusion, whether a student keeps a neat and organized room hardly relates to whether the student will become successful in the future. If a student has to do so, I think that keeping the room clean could be reasonable.
