Chapter 1: What Is On Your Inside
What is Within You? pg 7
Within you lies a treasure. You are brilliant. You are intelligent. You can do anything you want to because you have a brain, a mind. You are not a function of what the society calls you, neither are you defined by what others call you, you are unique and there is none like you and because this is the case A’s are not for only a particular person in your class, they are also for you. But you must come out of mediocrity and walk in the understanding of who you are.
Over time I observed that several persons doubt their ability to succeed academically but have so much faith that they can actually succeed in other endeavours in life such as music, comedy and so on. With this belief they put so much effort into chasing these dreams and they actually do succeed but such success is usually at the detriment of their books. A popular lingo used as an excuse for failure is ‘education is not for everyone’.
You are who you imagine you are, what you see when you look into the mirror is who you are. If you think you are ugly, then you are; if you think you are pretty, then you are. It is all about perception. Who you are and think you are begins in the mind and it is also what you manifest. Now that you understand how important perception is in defining who you are the next thing is to believe you can. Then you will.
Who you see is who you are, change who you see and you will change who you are. The process of changing how you see yourself is gradual and takes time but once there is a change in your academic perception then I can assure you that there will be a change in your grades.
