MOTIVATIONAL MESSAGE FOR THE MONTH.
TITLE: WISDOM FOR ENDING THE YEAR.
COMPILED BY DR. PHRANCIS KINGSON.
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 doesn'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. Learn a skill. Start a business and fail. That's a better Entrepreneurship pursuit.
Join or start a club, ministry or that which you believe God is birthing in you. Contest an election and lose. It will teach something Political Science 101 will not teach you.
Attend a seminar/training/workshop or a conference to learn. Read books outside the scope of your course. Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards. Do something you believe in!
Think less of becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person. Develop yourself continually because that's the best offer you can give yourself and posterity. Make the world your classroom and humble yourself to get the wisdom of the ages because there are so much untapped resources available for your creative prowess.
This Month and even in the new year dare to come out of obscurity, follow the principles that governs life and avail yourself to be helped by the divine. Change the status quo and let your generation be impacted by your existence and am sure you will fulfill purpose by hook or crook.
