his is the 5th time I am attempting Post
Ume. Some of my mates are even in final year and I
feel so ashamed of myself. Even my younger sibling
is now in the university. Sometimes I feel its not my
destiny to go into the university. In the meantime,
there is this guy who wants to help me. He says he
will arrange all my papers if we have sex. I know it's
wrong, but I love him. What do I do?"
My response:
Thanks for asking. I can see that you are being
pulled in several directions. So lets get key root
words that address each of the issues.
First, you are embarrassed at your academic status,
and perhaps rightly so. However, you have not faced
the core issue of your failure. Life is never fair and
we don't get promoted in life based on who are our
mates, or the hierarchy in the family. Academic
principles are not sentimental. If you have failed 5
times on a particular exam consider the following:
1. Am I pursuing a career based on the subjects I'm
really good? ( I remember a student trying to study
medicine but was stronger in the Arts, and was only
doing it because of family pressures)
2. Have I found out the best reading techniques that
suits me? What memory skills do I need? Do I have a
foundational problem in that subject?
I will recommend that you get the book,
MECHANICS OF SITTING DOWN TO READ, by Dr.
Ken Katas as well as his famous MRS chat. It has
helped many students, and it will help you.
The Second issue, is love, sex and short-cuts to
success. I really wonder how people fall in love. Do
they hit their heads on a stone when they fall so that
they lose all sense of judgement? I guess so. Here is
an guy using your problem as an opportunity to
satisfy his lust. He needs sex, you need good results
and admission. It's simply a business deal. Why you
con add love join am na? So you think this guy who
gets sex from you as a condition for helping you, will
actually turn around and love you?
The real question you should ask yourself is this:
How far am I willing to use my body to get what I
want?
Use sex for admission, then what next?
Use sex for first semester exam, then what next?
Use sex for that critical assignment, then what next?
Use sex for that difficult lecturer, then what next?
Use sex for Project Supervisor, then what next?
Use sex for NYSC posting and redeployment, then
what next?
Use sex to keep that boy from running with another
girl, then what next?
Use sex to get a job, then what next?
Use sex to get that promotion in the job, then what
next?
Use sex to stop that guy from blackmailing me,
about how I had used sex to get admission, then
what next?
Are you going to also use sex to bribe God from
sending you to hell?
Think am o!!!
My advice is this, leave all these shortcuts. I call
them deceptive progress. They give you the feeling
that you are moving forward, but you are back to the
beginning. Lets face the battle right now. You have
an academic challenge, get Dr. Ken Katas books,
they will really help you. He is not paying me to
advertise his book, but if a book is good, whether I
wrote it or not, becomes secondary. A good book is a
good book. Period!
Here is my advice: Use knowledge to solve problems
and stop confusing love with sex. |
