Certificate is wonderful, but
does not guarantee permanent success. You can have all the degrees in the world
and not be successful, certificate is just paper, what gives it value is the
bearer. You can have all the “A” (distinction) on paper, but if you are not an
“A” personality, permanent success will elude you. This is the reason I wonder
at students who subscribe to cheating in an attempt to have good grades. You
must become more interested in developing yourself and see good grades as icing
on the cake; this will help you a great deal in your quest for a distinctive
life.
How many graduates do we have that put
to work what they learnt in school? Most times, it is not the issue of
opportunity as it is the case of incompetence. The worst thing that can happen
to anyone is to go to school for the sake of attendance, its all about
knowledge acquisition and application. It is unfortunate that we find ourselves
in an environment that attached so much importance to certificate and good
grades, so much that without certain high grades, you can not get a good job or
you probably do not have the opportunity to apply for a job. I feel this only
encourages student to do everything possible to have good grades even at the expense
of not acquiring any knowledge. Get good grades, but beyond grades, go for
knowledge, know your onions and be the best at whatever you do. Do not blame
your environment for your inability to excel in life, challenge yourself to
make a difference.
