HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ACADEMIC GIANT PART 3

2.planning: for every effective work that is done, there is a well established plan.any work you are embarking on without a plan is as good as starting a business without a vision,eventually, it will fail.

Some newbie undergraduates enter the university without a purpose.this majorly contributes to their failure.

So if you want to succeed in anything, get a chair, a piece of paper and a Biro, sit down and plan on how you are going to make it.

3. discipline yourself: discipline according to oxford advanced learners dictionary is the practice of training people to obey rules and orders and punishing them if they do not.

Well, in the university, there are a lot of temptations,but there is one thing that is freely given to all undergraduates in the university and that is freedom.if you don’t discipline freedom,freedom will abuse you.

There are a lot of activities that take place in the university but if you don’t have a plan and if you don’t  have a vision,you might end up being a graduate with no coin in the head(with nothing to offer) and there comes need to discipline yourself.

4.co-ordination: attaining such great feat cannot be done alone, first you need God's help, then you need to have friends of like mind.like the saying goes “show me your friends and I will tell you whom you are”.

The friends you keep in your life matters a lot,when you are found in the midst of bad friends, there is an 80 percent chance that you would be like them.

All am saying is that if you need a first class result, be close to those who are in that league, make friends with them and GOD willing,they will help you.

5. organization: been organized is very important. When you have a plan that you are about to execute, make sure your plan is well organized. Even GOD who created the universe was organized, each day had its own creation and everything was perfect.

So if you have a plan, you need to be well organized.despite the innumerable activities that take place in university, know quite well that you can’t attend all of them, you need to skip some especially those ones that go contrary to your plan. Although, I advise you attend your fellowship activities because those ones are necessary for your spiritual growth.
