If you want to be successful in life, you must work towards it. Lazy people wish, dream and do nothing about it. The kind of grade you graduated with will speak for you. If you must have good grade, if you must come out with first class, second class upper and at least second class lower, then make sure, you make the following your habits.
1. Plan your life and
time in school.
Most people live their lives the way
they see things and not the way they wished it. They do not have plan for the
future. You draw out a plan and also have a target. Then work towards it. Time
they say is money, and time also is life. To plan your life, you must get a
reading time table do the right thing at the right time. Avoid too much social
activities. Let your time; day and night be useful. Give more time to studies.
2. Get a reading partner and be in a reading group
Reading partner and group will make
you to always read your books ahead of time, because whenever you meet, you
will discuss issues and topics of importance, thus it will push you to work
harder. Make friend with some one in your department that you know, you can
read together with. This is to enable both of you, share ideas.
3. Be
selective in making friends and avoid bad companies
The kind of friends you hang out with
have a great influence over your life. You have to be careful in choosing
friends. In the recent past in some of our universities, lot of students were arrested for arm
robbery. Do you know, these students were not criminals in the beginning? Some
of them were lured into cultism which eventually landed them in robbery.
4. Avoid drugs alcohol
and other bad habits
Stay away from drugs and alcohol.
Drugs and alcohol are cruel masters that control you. They get into your head
and impair your sense of judgment.
5. Emotion maturity
You have to show very great sense of
emotional maturity. Do not allow your feelings interfere with your academic. I
have discovered that most students that have the problem of lack of
understanding, is always traceable to emotional related issues; may be from
their past, present relationship or family background. Grow up, you are in
charge of your life not your circumstances. If possible avoid any relationship
that will affect your emotion, because you need your mind to reason well and
excel in academics.
6. Stick to your gun
Do not bend the rules at any time or
given circumstances. Do not compromise no matter the situation. Whatever goal
you have set for yourself, make sure you stick to it and work towards it.
7. Be hardworking
Read as if there is no tomorrow,
because the future starts today. Take your books serious. There is no reason
enough to fail. Always aim at A’s (excellent) and work towards it. Get a
reading time table, in fact a living time table and work towards achieving your
dreams. Geniuses are not born; geniuses are made. To some it does not take time,
to others it takes a lot of time to be made; which ever category you fall into,
just start working now and become the man of that dream you have.
8. Be in consonance
with God
God always reward those who diligently
seek His face. Commit your plans into God’s hands and He will direct your
paths. Do not forget, the best place to be is the presence of God.
9. Do
evaluation always
Always
take stock of your life to see if you are in accordance or not. To know whether
you have deviated
or
you are on track.
10. set
standards and pursue them
There
is no way you can make it in life if you are not guided by principles and
standards. Most successful
people
you see are bound by many principles. So setting standards to make excellent in
academic is just
the
least.
