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.

When Helping is not Helping

Having the desire to help others is the calling that brings many into the “helping professions.” For others, it is the day to day service that we do for our families, children and others we work for/or/with. There is a fine line however when helping is not really helping, but rather a barrier that leads to stagnation or worse yet, fosters an unhealthy dependence. Indicators of when helping is NOT helping: 1. When the help we provide is not accepted by others The term I’ve used for years is when helping leads to “help rejecting complainers.” When our helping leads others to excuse themselves of embracing the help, then rejecting it, or avoiding it. This is not a judgment of our help or our intent, but of others’ readiness to change. They may simply not see the same way as you do. They may not value the same things. 2. When the help leads others to make the same poor decisions Any change effort has to be embraced as well as given. It is hard to un...

WHERE SHALL WE GO?

When we can no longer differentiate a church from a social gathering, and all what we do in church is to just have fun. When we can’t differentiate a choir from a harlot, and an usher is not different from a waiter. When the church is no more conducive where shall we go? When worship session in a church is just like a disco night and we cant differentiate a pastor from a comedian. When salvation message is no longer the order of the day but prosperity and entertainment message is now the core course. When the church is no more conducive where shall we go? When prayer warrior now have to go to tongue- speaking school for utterances, and deliverance and healing session is now like MTH 201 to be taught and learned. When pastor have to pause for members to clap and shout during sermon in enthusiasm, and all what we now gain from preaching is now new vocabulary and word usage. When the church is no more conducive where shall we go? When the church of God is now...

The Most complex problem

Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant’s beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant’s debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag.If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender’s wife and her father’s debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant’s garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up ...
