Prof. Micheni from Maasai mara University
has this to say to students: "Academic
excellence is overrated! 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. Start a business and
faiil. That's a better Entrepreneurship 101.Join
or start a club. Contest an election and lose. It
will teach you something Political Science 101
will not teach you. Attend a seminar. 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. Make the
world your classroom.
Step forward try politics, try business, try an
extra thing great person.
