orgasticdance: @ OP I hate to be nitpicky but knowing that u got these redundant ideas from a foreign blog when we have more than capable home based motivational sources is quite depressing

They make sense. All he needed to do was to quote the speaker. Dazz all

The most annoying thing is seeing those lecturers teaching students with outdated texbooks which carries odd theories. Lazy lecturers who don't care to advance at all. All they do is to extort students(bloocking tins)No wonder they care less.

NICE ONE

how to hustle

One lesson I have learned in life is that the education you get in school is important but the education you get on the street is even better.

In as much as this might be right. Hw many of u after reading this write up would agree nt to send his or her ward to skool?
Mmmmmmmm!
No hand is up!

Skool join!
I rest ma case!

The 10 Things You Can’t Learn In
The Classroom Sometimes I wonder why we
bother going to school. To learn,
of course. Well… yes, but why is it
that we have to go to a building
specifically designed for this
purpose? Why can we not just sit at home and read books?
Whatever it is that is taught in
school can be learned out of a
book. In fact, it almost always is taught
out of a book. Teachers and
college professors alike will
assign books that they will teach
out of and then later assign to
read from. So why not cut out the middleman? Why waste time
going to school to learn when
we can do it from anywhere else
on our own time? One answer is obviously that
most people will choose not to
bother with learning and as a
result, society will suffer as a
whole. Secondly, it is important
for people to form mini-societies when growing up in order to
learn the importance of social
interaction and influence. Therefore, the chance of the
world getting rid of schooling
institutions is zero. But don’t
think for one minute that what
schools have to offer is all the
knowledge that one needs in order to live a life of prosperity.
In fact, the most important
lessons one will learn will be
learned outside of the classroom.
Here are 10 things you won’t
learn in school: 1. People are only looking out
for themselves. School can be rather competitive.
Students compete for grades,
compete for their teacher’s favor
and compete in sports. However,
nothing will teach you the
importance of competition as when you enter life after school.
With technology getting more
and more advanced, the world is
getting smaller and smaller. This
means that the competition is
getting bigger and bigger. While in school, you only had to
worry about your fellow
classmates. When out in the real
world, you have to now not only
worry about everyone else in the
country you live in, but now often have to compete with the
rest of the world. If you think
good grades were good
motivation, wait until you see
how money motivates people.
Outside of school you will learn that people will cheat, lie and
even kill for money. 2. The importance of being
patient and staying positive . School is set up in a way where
we are only made to make short-
term goals. Each year is split up
into semesters and our only goal
is to get good grades by the time
that we get our report card. We get assignments, we complete
them and then after three
months or so, we get assessed
on our work and reap the
rewards. Real life does not work this way
— nothing worth doing takes
only 3 months to conquer.
Outside of the classroom, our
goals are much more long-term
and can take years to transpire. We quickly learn the importance
of being patient and keeping a
positive mindset in order to
survive. If we don’t, then we
quickly lose our cool and make
dumb, rash decisions. 3. The importance of self-
improvement for the sake of
self-improvement. School teaches us that we must
improve in order to succeed. Life
teaches us that we must improve
in order to live. While in school,
we learn because we must learn
in order to keep up with the curriculum. This in itself is
important when entering the
workforce; it teaches us that
slacking can often at times
produce poor results. However, after we graduate we
often find that work is not only
what life is about. We learn that
we should not just improve the
skills that make us better at what
we do, but also improve the skills that make us better people. 4. Doing things for the love of
doing them. Doing things because we must
do them just doesn’t quite fly in
our adulthood. We may need to
sometimes do things that we
would prefer not to do, but
being adults makes us feel as if we have a right to decide for
ourselves what it is that we
ought to do. Life teaches us to start doing
things not because others tell us
to do them, but rather because
we want to do them. We learn
that the easiest way for us to
become successful is to find what we love and to spend as much
time and put as much passion
into it as possible. 5. Friends aren’t as important
as we thought. Friends are great to have, but
people grow in different
directions and life often removes
those that once were closest to
us. Having a handful or less of
friends is crucial, but understanding that you can
always make new ones is also
important. Life teaches us that
with friends or without friends,
we remain who we are; our
friends don’t make us, we make us. 6. The importance of
networking. School can teach us how to make
friends, but life teaches us the
importance of powerful
acquaintances and how to make
them. When in school, our
possible network is at a minimum — we just aren’t
exposed to enough people, not
to mention people that hold
power in the real world. Once
free to roam about in the real
world, we quickly learn that getting ahead in life often
depends on whom you know
and on how good of terms you
are on with them. 7. Some things are simply out
of our control. The classroom is a small
environment with few variables.
If something goes wrong, we
can often quickly fix it or avoid it
entirely — we have control. After
leaving the classroom, the variables multiply exponentially.
We no longer have the control
we once had and often at times
find ourselves at a loss of even
figuring out from where the
issue is arising. Dealing with such circumstances for long enough
teaches us that if we find things
to be out of our control, there is
no point of getting hung up on
them — so we let them go and
focus on what we can influence. 8. If we don’t adapt, we don’t
survive . The school system is static,
unchanging. Life is everything
but. Things, situations and
circumstances are changing
constantly and more often than
not, without any warning. After falling a few times on our asses,
we learn that if we want to
survive and prosper, we must
adapt — and do so quickly. 9. We aren’t Superman or
Wonder Woman . Tackling task after task in school,
playing sports and getting
involved in extracurricular
activities, for many of us comes
easy. Doing this for long enough
gets us feeling that we can take on the world. But then we meet
the world. All of a sudden our
superhuman powers disappear
and we become overwhelmed. We come to realize that there is a
lot more “maintenance” required
than we first thought. Laundry
doesn’t do itself. The apartment
doesn’t clean itself. Bills pile up
and we are the ones that have to pay them. Free time quickly
becomes a cherished commodity. 10. Less is more — quality over
quantity. Doing more in order to get ahead
may have worked in high school,
but getting a real job most often
doesn’t allow for the same
strategy. Some people may
appreciate quantity over quality, but with the changing times, this
sort of thinking is becoming
extinct. We may find ourselves
having to redo the same project
several times, cutting out the
excess fat, in order to produce something worth selling. http://elitedaily.com/life/

gud write up

School Education is much more important than y'all think. This is just an excuse for people to be lazy in school and give excuses for failure. If education is the lock, school is the key. They tell you that oprah, steve jobs, bill gates, etc did not have degrees, but they dont tell you that majority of people who drop out do not make it. School is important in our generation because it measures and pepares our dreams to potential sucess. Going to school is far beyond getting a job, but we learn ethics, inspire, discover and unleash our dreams and potentials. You may not be asked to recite the letter of the alphabets on the streets, but that prepares you to learn how to read. You may never be asked to solve some hard calculus problem on the streets or in your working place, but it teaches us how to think when presented with a real life problem. You will not be asked to solve an algebra or state the pythagoras theorem, but that helps us to devolope our most important tool of reasoning which is logic. You would not be asked to list the disavantages and causes of globl warming in real life, but this helps to to stop others and educate them when you see them tRying to cut down trees or burning. You will not be asked to draw or state the causes of dieses by viruses, bacteria or fungi, but this helps you to identify and prevent these things when you come across them in real life....i could go on and on. I am not saying there is no sense in the OP, but i fault the fact that you listed the problems of depending on school for knowledge without listing the importances or providing solutions. It just gave false confidence to people who are not doing well in school that they are on the right track.

You're going to need to stop quoting elite all the damn time. Good stuff anyway.

I disagreed 100% with the OPm
The OP was able to type this message because he did go to school.
This OP does not understand what he meant by going to school.

The moral of the story is that we should try and always improve ourselves in terms of knowledge and other important stuffs.The reward is gonna be great.

With evry thing happening today,u dont know whether your coming or going.....dedicated to all nairalander...meanwhile....just passing by..hii

Nice one.

Una don make remember all the sleepless nights I spent in school solving Fourier transformations, Larson-Miller Parameter, Laplace transformations, Root Locus etc...
Now in the labour market, just a few computer clicks... and voila!
In Naija schools,we waste so much time studying what we'll never use.
Then, my brother was always sleeping in the Architecture studio drawing, tracing....
Now, all he needs is a few minutes on his laptop and he prints drawings that should have taken weeks to produce if he still applies what he was taught in school.
Nigerian Lecturers should upgrade and stop imparting obsolete knowledge.

Good work here
