Prof. Abletor Sedofia

Has this to say To
Students and Everyone:
*"Academic excellence is overrated!
*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,memorize it and reproduce it in an exam.
*School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination.
*School rewards caution, life rewards those who are 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 it's ok if you fail.
*That's a better Entrepreneurship 101
*Join or start a club,Contest an election and lose and its ok if you lose it. It will teach you something Political Science 101 will not teach you.
* Attend seminars 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 in Life
*Make the world your classroom."

You could say that the whole human endeavor is geared towards setting and achieving goals. Goals are part of every aspect of life: how you conduct your relationships, what you want to achieve at work, the way you use your spare time... Everything comes down to priorities, and what you would like to accomplish in every aspect - whether you make a conscious choice or go with subconscious preferences.
Without setting goals or objectives, life becomes a series of chaotic happenings you don't control.

        You become the plaything of coincidence. Accomplishments like sending someone to the moon, inventing the iPod etc. are the result of a goal that was set at some point. A vision that was charted and realized.

         SET YOURS GOALS, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES FOR LIFE AND ENJOY THE GREAT INDIVIDUAL YOU WILL BECOME. Make Hay while the Sun shines.

what do I live for?

I share in the view that this life is devoid of initial meaning, but also know for certain that until we are able to to create meaning and purpose from the the life we Live, life will continue to evolve around us purposelessly.  

     

        it is with this understanding,  I am able to comprehend the rationale behind people's  Hunger to end it all: attempt to end their lives by overdosing themselves, some shot themselves too just to get out of the life that seem to be useless, not having anything to live for.  it is a fact that from all these attempts made, some succeeded whilesome failed due to rescue from concerned persons, but thought succeeding to handicap their lives and purpose before discovery.

      Even though we have evolved this far as humans, the concept of purpose is still as new as the word "NEW''. Maybe We do not spend time to teach about the value  of understanding our purpose. I think if we; I mean everyone is living a life of purpose, we wouldn't have had some of the issues we face today.  Life without purpose make you do the things you shouldn't do because you lack a manual to operate with.  A life without purpose puts you at a receiving end. You only get what life give with nothing to offer and that makes you feel less important and this is what makes so many feel inferior and worthless.

       

        If life is all about distress,  pain, tears and sorrows then why live?.  Some times people ask this questions after bitter experiences like emotional agony or may be inferiority complex-finding it hard to locate their place in this large world. Questions of this sort are often asked with no satisfactory answers given but purpose gives answers to them. If you wish to live a fulfilled life, you must live a life of purpose because your life of purpose is your step to getting fulfilled. 

       There is nothing on earth void of purpose. The sun,  the moon,  the stars and even the birds in the sky have purpose and they live to achieve that purpose, and all this is aimed at Adding color  to the world at large so why not play your part.

      Not believing that you have a purpose won’t prevent you from discovering it, just as a lack of belief in gravity won’t prevent you from tripping. All that a lack of belief will do is make it take longer-Steve Pavlina. These is true and to find out what your purposein life is you must ask yourself this question over and over again and try to keep your mind open to thoughts and do not fail to write down every single one of them.
       
Find your purpose and live it today to make the world a better place.
