First Class People In Life

Reasons Why First Class Students In
School Never Become
First Class People In Life.  Hardly do first class
graduates become first class
personality while in University, we often spend
too much energy in acquiring good grades that
we forget to acquire good class personality.
After concentrating all energy in acquiring the
first class grades, we transform into a society
where first class grades don't matter much as
having a first class personality. In school, its
easy to read,memorize and
pass exams, but in
real life, there is no sure book of life to
progress, no memorizing, no exams, just you
and your
inbuilt capability
which require no contest with anybody.
Those who eventually become big in life
are mostly people
who hardly make good grades in school.
Agas bolakale 2015 had reported that,
Prof. Abletor Sedofia
from University of Ghana has this to say
to us:
“Academic excellence is overrated!
Did I just say that? Oh, yes, I said it. Being top
of your class does not necessarily guarantee that
you will be at the top of life. You could graduate
as the best
student in Finance but it don't mean you will
make more money
than everybody
else. The best graduating Law student does not
necessarily become the best lawyer. The fact is
life requires more than the ability to understand
a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an
exam. School rewards
people for their memory. Life rewards people
for their
imagination. School rewards caution, life
rewards daring. School hails those who live by
the rules. Life exalts
those who break the
rules and set new ones. So do I mean
people shouldn't
study hard in school? Oh, no, you should.
But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar
of First Class.
Don't limit yourself to the classroom. Do
something practical. Take a leadership position.
Start a business and fail. That's a better
Entrepreneurship.Join or start an association.
Contest an election and lose. It will teach
something Political Science 101 will not
teach you. Attend a
seminar. Read books outside the scope of your
course.? Do
something you believe in! Think less of becoming
an excellent
student but think more
of becoming an excellent person. Make
the world your
classroom and pray to GOD. this will make the world a static
variable for u. And that u can drive the world.

Thought And Purpose

          Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment. With the majority the bark of thought is allowed to "drift" upon the ocean of life. Aimlessness is a vice, and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction.         They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pityings, all of which are indications of weakness, which lead, just as surely as deliberately planned sins (though by a diff route), to failure, unhappyness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power-evolving universe.         A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, ...

It was my EYEs

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.' One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her,’ Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.' This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situat...

The 50 New Rules of Work

The 50 New Rules of Work You are not just paid to work. You are paid to be uncomfortable – and to pursue projects that scare you. Take care of your relationships and the money will take care of itself. Lead you first. You can’t help others reach for their highest potential until you’re in the process of reaching for yours. To double your income, triple your rate of learning. While victims condemn change, leaders grow inspired by change. Small daily improvements over time create stunning results. Surround yourself with people courageous enough to speak truthfully about what’s best for your organization and the customers you serve. Don’t fall in love with your press releases. Every moment in front of a customer is a moment of truth (to either show you live by the values you profess – or you don’t). Copying what your competition is doing just leads to being second best. Become obsessed with the user experience such that every touchpoint ...
