SHIFT YOUR MINDSET SHAPE YOUR FUTURE
Advice for Every Student:
By Comfort Udeme
You walk into class looking neat, attend every lecture, and maybe even have your notes perfectly organized. But let me ask you — at the end of the day, what did you actually learn?
You might look like the most serious student on the outside, but if you’re not walking out of that classroom with something tangible, then it’s all just a show.
As my lecturer always says, “You don’t have to know everything, but out of everything, you must know something.”
Students, don’t fool yourself into thinking that just showing up and looking good is enough. You’re only fooling yourself, because what you put into your education now will either build your future or leave you empty.
Theory without practice is like a kite without wind — it’s useless.
It doesn’t matter how much you can memorize or repeat in class if you can’t apply it when it matters. If, at the end of every lecture, you can’t walk away with at least one thing you can actually use, then it’s a waste of your time. Education is meant to transform you, not just entertain your attendance.
You’re not here just to impress anyone with your expensive clothes or your perfect look. The world doesn’t care about how nice you look. What they care about is what you can offer. And what you can offer is based on what you’ve learned and how you’ve applied it.
No lecturer will remember how fine you looked on the first day. They’ll only remember your success. Let your success speak louder than your appearance.
Change your mindset: Don’t just come to class hoping to be noticed by your classmates or to fit in. Come to class with a mission — to learn, to grow, and to get closer to your goals. This is your time to invest in your future. Don’t waste it on distractions.
