5 SECRETS OF HIGH-FLYING STUDENTS

Are you a student? Then you have to read this (remember everybody is a student) perhaps the fact that any or all of these are missing in your life is the reason you are not a high-flying student. The following are secrets of high-flying students:

1.        Games: Yes! Don’t be surprised, brilliant students paly games often. Educational games like Chess, Scrabble, Jigsaw, Monopoly, and Backgammon are favourites of high-flying students. Wanna be a great student? Play games! Balance the fun with the work. Games help you think and allow you to exercise you brain in a way nothing else will. They even allow you to test your skills. However, not all games are beneficial to the brain so know the type of game you play.

      Rest: By rest I don’t mean sleeping like a log of wood. Brainy kids sleep very well though. Why? Because they need too. As much as I don’t want you to spend your entire life sleeping I also don’t want you to spend it working. So balance the equation. Rest your brain and body, sleep when you need to, it helps.

   Friendliness: High-flying students are not those who lock themselves up in a cubicle all day reading. They are friendly and spend time with the few friends they have. They are ready to talk with you regardless of who you are. After all, friends are the flowers that beautify our life garden and without them, we are ugly.

.      Curiousity: As I do say, curiousity killed the cat, not the man; not me; not you. Whiz-kids are curious about everything. They ask questions and demand answers. They want to know everything about everything and that’s why you will always see them in the library. By doing this, they increase their knowledge on every topic so that they have something reasonable to contribute on any issues being discussed anywhere.

.     Books: You wonder why I put this as my last point? Because it’s the most important! All the other four without this can be a waste. High-flying students read books and when I say books I mean books (not only textbooks and class notes) of every kind. Magazines, newspapers, novels, historical books, name it! This allows them to widen their knowledge beyond class level. It allows them to know what their teachers don’t even know. Aside magazines and newspapers, I’ll advise that you read at least 24 books a year (for a start); two per month.

How? Through books.

So have you been able to point out what’s keeping you from being the best.Goodluck

LEADERSHIP CHARACTERISTICS FROM GOD

                Every individual in life is striving to be a leader, and we try all
our best possible to be that leader, but before you become that
leader, you have to be a follower.

NOTE: It is not a bad thin to be a follower, but it will be worse for
you if you remain a follower.
Before you become a leader or even if your are a leader now, I will
like to just point out few out of many leadership qualities you can see
in God.
1. FAITHFUL: as a leader you have to be more than faithful to
whatsoever is committed into your care.

2. TRUST: this is somehow related to been faithful. You mush not
betray the trust your followers have in you.

3. LOVING: God is Love. To be successful as a leader, you have to love
your followers unconditionally, because if you love them, you will not
cheat them, you won't lie to them, e.t.c.

4. DEFINITE PLAN & DECISION: as a good leader, you have to have a plan
that will not waver, and when you make decisions, you must abide by
it, because followers won't want a leader that doesn't have something
to stand for.

5. SELF-CONTROL: as a leader, you MUST be able to control every aspect
of your life, this will go a long way in your achievement. Because you
won't be able to control your followers if you can't control yourself.
Lastly, before you reach the level of a leadership, ask yourself these
questions;
Am I a good follower?
Am I a wise follower?
Do I do as i want my followers to do to me when I become a leader?

       


If the answers are negative, then you have to change, so as to attain leadership post, because, trying to bring others down only shows you
are down, and it won't take you up.
Keep the fire burning
Keep the dream alive
Thank you.

LESSONS FROM TARZAN: THE APE MAN.

              I am sure most of us watched TARZAN while we were young, while some of us were still toddlers. For those who haven’t watched it at all and for those who have but have forgotten all about TARZAN, here is a summary.    
             TARZAN is all about a boy whose parents were killed by a Tiger (Sabor) while he was still a toddler. 
           Fortunately, he was found by a gorilla (Kala) who had also lost a kid to Sabor. Kala took the toddler to where all other gorillas lived and presented him to their leader (Kerchak). However, Kerchak didn’t like the toddler because he didn’t look like a gorilla and complained that he –the toddler- will never be one of them. Unmoved, Kala named the boy TARZAN.           

      TARZAN grew up with the gorillas and in no time he became what we can call the Ape Man and then it happened that the most dreaded enemy of the gorillas, Sabor (the tiger that killed TARZAN’s parents and Kala’s kid) visited the gorillas once again. They all fled but TARZAN didn't. He fought Sabor and killed him; ridding the gorillas’ family of their greatest enemy-something Kerchak couldn’t do. 
              Let’s stop there for now and learn some lessons. Kerchak, the greatest gorilla of all didn’t want TARZAN to live with them at the initial stage when Kala brought him. That time Kerchak made a very notable statement: “He’ll never be one of us.” He said referring to TARZAN. He didn’t see anything good, anything worth keeping in TARZAN but TARZAN promised to show Kerchak and this he did when he killed Sabor. 
       We are in a world where people won’t see anything good in us until we let them see. The few who will can’t show others, that’s for us to do. TARZAN fought against all Kerchak’s discouraging and humiliating words and showed them there was something great in him. Eventually when their leader Kerchak died, TARZAN was made the leader.
           Yeah, there is something great in you. Discover it and use it to better our world, to destroy our 'Sabor'. 
Show the world!
Stay alive.

Thanks.
