PRINCIPLES OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS. (Adapted)

1) self discovery leading to self awareness, self realization, self disclosure & self knowledge.
2)self acceptance..... Never compare yourself.... Don't envy.
3)self efficacy.... Believe that you CAN...
4)self appreciation.... Value/devalue, appreciate/depreciate, celebrate/disintegrate.
5)set your goals and be focused.
6)collect relevant information on your dream. This particular principle brings us to the issue of desirable study habit. The following ideas are suggested:
(i) Regular attendance of classes.
(ii) positive attitude towards all courses & their lecturers.
(iii) jot down notes as the lecturer lectures
(iv) Ask questions from the lecturer about ambiguous areas right there in the class.
(v) supplement lecturer's notes with adequate textbooks,journals, periodicals,Internet materials etc.
(vi) make sure you read or brush over all notes written in a day within the first 8 hours of acquisition.
(vii) developed a personal private time table & strictly adhere to it.
(viii) ask yourself about the main duty of a student. For instance, if a teacher teaches,a farmer farms, and a trader trades, then a student studies.
(ix) Get a permanent, comfortable well ventilated, illuminated and non-distractive environment for your study.
(x) Wage war against noise syndrome.
--Physical noise- General verbal, technological & environmental noises etc.
--Lexical noise- Vocabularies, ambiguous statements, spelling mistakes illegible writings etc.
--Aroma noise- Beware of odors from the kitchen or toilets.
--Psychological noise- Irrational, unnecessary and self imposed thoughts or being home sick.
--Oral nose- Chewing gum, eating cola nut, meat etc.
--Addictive noise- Use of cigarettes, weed, Cuba, NESCAFE, alcohol or any kind of drug.
--Enemies within- Love letters, pictures, mobile phones, CD/tablets, radio.. Etc.
(xi) Adopt a functional study technique, eg. the Robinson' SQ3R study technique, whereby S=survive;Q=Questions; R1=Read; R2=recite; R3= review.

(7) always lay your hand on doing something good & beneficial... If you are not meaningfully engaged, Satan will engage you.
(Be hardworking... NO shortcut to a lasting success, Hard work does not kill, The root of education is bitter, However, one day of favour is better than 40years of labour....
(9)Determination to succeed.... It is a personal resolution....
(10) Prepare for challenge: Education, Socio-personal, Family related, Peer neglect. Etc
(11)Mind your Associations: (Who are your friends?) Associations often determines DESTINATION.
(12)Don't be distracted--- (You are surrounded with a lot of distractive agents: Music, Films, Recreation, Clubs, & societies, Religious organizations, LOVE Advances, even your PHONES, LAPTOPS... etc. )- Mind you, DISTRACTION is the greatest enemy of DISTINCTION.
(13) Time management;
- - It is an economic resource.. Time is money.
- - It is God's natural gift equally distributed among All... 24hrs daily'.
- - it cannot be expanded or contacted.
- - It is irrecoverable and irreplaceable.
- - It is highly perishable.... THEREFORE,
=Invest your time in something useful and beneficial
=Beware of THIEVES.
=form the habit of Time-Accounting.


(14)Watch your character.. There is nothing to gain from stubbornness, rudeness or naughtiness AND There is nothing to loose from obedience, humility, respect, diligence etc. Rather there are lots to benefit from it.

REMEMBER, Abraham Lincoln said: "Character is a personal credential, and no man is a man of honour without it".
(15)Don't dwell on past misfortune
(16) Gratitude to God.


May God almighty help us as we enroute and make it easy for us.
