If someone wants to enjoy the opportunity of eating an egg, she should break the outer cover first! Otherwise she wont agree with the majority that an egg is good in taste, to her an egg will have the mixture of good and bad taste.
If someone wants to enjoy the opportunity of eating an orange, he should REMOVE the outer part first, otherwise he wont agree with the majority that an orange is sweet in taste. To him an orange will have the mixture of both sweetness and bitterness.
Even if someone wants to enjoy the opportunity of eating a groundnuts, she should first BREAK the shell, otherwise she will prove differently from the majority.
Likewise, if someone wants to enjoy life opportunities he/she should BREAK and REMOVE the outer cover first, otherwise he/she wont agree with the majority that life is good both in taste and appearance. To him/her life will mean the mixture of both joy, betrayals, happy, tears, loneliness, fears, sorrows and failures.
The doors of opportunities are always closed, and they require clear eyes of intelligence to hear the voice. Otherwise you will remain wondering from one wall to another without seeing them.
The windows of opportunities are always closed, and they require clear ears of excellence to hear the voice. Otherwise you will remain wondering from one wall to another without hearing them.
Both excellence and intelligence are what make life more meaningful and the world a happy place to live.
Possessing excellence is like possessing an egg, an orange or a groundnut!
Possessing intelligence is like breaking an egg, a groundnut or removing the outer part of an orange.
Possessing excellence only and lacking intelligence is as good as eating an egg, a groundnut or an orange without removing the shell.
Possessing intelligence only will mean nonsense because you will have an idea of breaking an egg but do not have that egg, you will have the knowledge of breaking groundnut’s shell but do not have groundnuts!
Excellence is found in schools through studying while intelligence is found in daily activities of life through living and accepting to learn.
Mastering both academic excellence and life intelligence is what makes you be who you meant to be.
Mastering both academic excellence and life intelligence is what will make you see life opportunities and all the happiness it contains.
In schools people consider tangibles like numbers, scores, marks as symbols of excellence BUT in life we consider intangibles like hardworking, honesty, love and respect as intelligence.
In schools during examinations there is no sharing, you work alone under strict control BUT during life examinations we work in groups, sharing our questions with people we believe the most.
In schools the lesson is coming first then tests follow, BUT in life the test is coming first and get a lesson through such a test.
In schools we consider listening, obeying and reproducing what you have been taught BUT in life we involve inquiries, testing, discovery and adventure.
In schools you rely on teachers, lectures, and parents to make decisions BUT in life we rely on ourselves and our best friends.
In schools you work under strict control, also rules and regulations are to be followed BUT in life we work under our own timetable with much freedom to do what we like.
In schools we harvest excellence BUT in life we harvest intelligence.
Because doors of opportunities are always closed, you need to knock and get inside for enjoying. But not all doors are easy are knock and get, knocking doors of eggs or groundnuts is like breaking a peace of cake, but knocking a door of a coconut is a little bit harder, it requires the use of the stone or a piece of iron to hit and open.
Because doors of life opportunities are always closed, we need to knock and get inside for enjoying. But not all doors are easy to knock.
When life is too hard to carry,
When risks are too many to bear,
When all your plans have failed,
When all your mountains are high to climb,
When all people you believed left you up,
When you feel like giving up,
When you get tired of going on, is when we say doors of opportunities for a coconut of your life is hard to knock.
Being Systematic and serious in your studies,
Being Modern to the society by the way you behave,
Being Ambitious person towards fulfillment of your goals,
Being Reasoning critically before making any move in life,
Being Time manager by stopping long chat with your friends, is what we say hitting the coconut by using a big stone or piece of iron.
Having an opportunity of being a UNIVERSITY student doesn’t mean only going lectures without missing, doesn’t mean only waiting food time of wajasiliamali, doesn’t mean walking from one block to another at night, doesn’t mean going bash every weekend, but its something more and even better than that. You can harvest a good academic G.P.A (excellence), but a ZERO life G.P.A (intelligence).
Don’t allow personal initiative to be crippled by ready made entertainment, be selective as to distractions and entertainments.
Relate to people,
Keep leaning,
Have personal goals,
Be creative,
Believe what you are doing,
Do what you are believing,
Have a purpose in life,
Take GOD into consideration.
