My advice?.  Fine. Have you heard that ideas rule the world?, No, you haven’t.

·         Don’t just be a student for the name,  become a “business student”.  Do not just be a stereotype student, be dynamic. Start something extra Now!. It’s very okay to “face your book”, yes, but always remember that someone brought an idea of how to make the book (all the books) that you would be “faceing”, Coded. Be versatile, like I said, do not be stereotypical, be dynamic, you are in school to broaden your mind. Do not allow the dumb idea of ‘’face your book” crab block your horizons, open your mind, you are in school to become useful first to yourself before any other beneficiary so the idea of someone advising you to‘’ face one old book’’ that was theorized by some guy for the whole 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 years that you’d spend in school (depending on the course), is totally out of place. So I’d rather you go ahead and try other things, try things out, give things a try, experiment, do not be limited by any course you study_ medicine, nursing, law, Agric, any course. All of them are limited. The presenter of “who wants to be a millionaire” (Frank Edoho) is actually and literally a millionaire today from media world but he never studied mass communication .It might turn out that you don’t even practice those courses. It happens; at least you’ve heard similar case/s like that before. So irrespective of the course you study, thinkentrepreneurship. It wouldn’t be bad if you ‘’start out’’ right from school. I mean you won’t be to too young if you are a millionaire at/before or between age 30 and 35. Now, quote me right, it’s profitable to read and study but it is headless to face any dry book.

  Just make sure that you AcTivate an extra idea today. Friend, the world is very dicey, you might just be minding your business and success comes finding you, you never might say, you can just wake up a millionaire even before you graduate. It’s very possible and guess what?, the possibility is embedded in you. Sounds as if I’m motivating you?, NO, I am reminding you. The journey starts NOW!.
