0:00
being a student is actually tricky right
0:02
now because back then all you just need
0:04
to do is to is to study study study
0:08
study just focus on your study but right
0:10
now it's not like that because uh no
0:12
matter the course you are studying
0:13
whether you are in the college of
0:14
medicine you are in law you in arts you
0:17
are in the sciences uh the economy of
0:20
the world right now it's it's it's not
0:22
it's is stated in a way that doesn't
0:25
really favor certificate doesn't mean
0:27
that certificates uh it's not valid So
0:30
having a certificate is invalid Uh I
0:33
always advise if you want to go to
0:35
school go to school and if you want to
0:36
go to school make sure you go to school
0:38
very well Like it's not like oh I'm in
0:40
school but I was distracted I was trying
0:43
to do desires why I did not finish well
0:45
No the primary purpose of you being in
0:47
school is to actually attain academic
0:50
excellence So you must always make sure
0:52
that you attain that academic excellence
0:55
But in combination with
0:58
attaining getting a good grades in
1:00
school you have to find a way to
1:03
combine it with a passion Because at the
1:07
end of the day you find out that while
1:09
you are in school being while you're in
1:11
school is actually the best time you
1:13
have to discover yourself in a certain
1:16
way because by the time you graduate you
1:18
don't have that luxury to to sit off of
1:21
trying to you know do this and and do
1:24
that So especially in your first year
1:26
and your second year definitely you have
1:28
to you know you're trying to acclimatize
1:30
to the environment So all your attention
1:33
100% is focused on getting academic uh
1:37
good grades but from your third year at
1:40
least you have to find a way to you know
1:43
try something It could be a business it
1:45
could be a hand work You can discover
1:47
that oh I like doing content or I like
1:50
doing spoken words I like I like I have
1:53
I have this uh flare for business You
1:56
know I have just you have whatever
1:57
whatever it is for you You try to
1:59
experiment because when you're in school
2:01
you can do this you fail because that
2:03
time you already have the ample time to
2:05
do whatever you want to do and fail like
2:07
when you you get out there and you know
2:10
the pressure of of being somebody it's
2:13
just so you know the magnitude of it is
2:17
so very very high So while in school
2:18
make sure you you try try to do one or
2:20
two things but at the end of the day
2:22
make sure you also attain academic
2:25
excellence because that is the primary
2:26
purpose of of you being in school And if
2:29
you if you're not yet in school you just
2:31
have to know that uh getting university
2:34
degree is not compulsory in this current
2:36
So if after secondary school you get a
2:39
business doing you are learning a trade
2:42
it is so very very okay So it just it
2:45
just depends on you and uh if you are
2:48
also planning to know you're trying to
2:51
get admission to university make sure
2:53
you get admission to a lucrative course
2:56
or if parventure you don't get admission
2:58
to the soal lucrative course try to
3:02
understand what you are studying let's
3:04
say for example I'm studying English and
3:06
literary studies you need to understand
3:08
as a as a student that there are
3:11
opportunities in English and literary
3:13
studies So what are those opportunities
3:15
you try and find them out If you are
3:17
studying French you are studying
3:19
political science So at the end of the
3:20
day there is no course that is actually
3:22
useless if you are able to find out how
3:26
you can utilize that course because
3:29
majority of the courses today do not
3:32
have a direct path for employment except
3:34
you study a medical course like medicine
3:37
nursing you know radiography those
3:39
courses when the time you graduate you
3:40
always see an hospital that want to
3:42
employ but for majority of courses uh in
3:46
the university it's not like that
3:48
because there is no uh direct path for
3:50
for success you just have to create a
3:52
way for yourself so that is just all I
3:54
have to say if I'm to advise a a student
3:58
that is currently studying at university
4:00
or planning to attend the tur
4:03
institution so that is just It's
