Remember the five simple rules to be happy: Free your heart from hatred. Free your mind from worries. Live simply. Give more. Expect less.

I know something about you even not knowing you.... You've got abilities.
Easy is not an option. Let's keep it real. If it was simple, everyone else would do it. It is not good enough to want it... You have to fight for it. Step away from average.
To dream is easy. Hustle however, is hard.
The easiest thing in the world is to be distracted.
The more you take responsibilities for your life, the more your life begin to change. Everyone is responsible for their life. Only the successful will admit it.

"University can teach youskill and give you opportunity,but it can't teach you sense,nor give you understanding.Sense and understanding areproduced within one's soul."C.JoyBellC.University education in Nigeria is four years on the average. What would you do if you had three hundred thousand naira for four years? Plus no stress, no supervisor, no assignments, no crammingof Latin letters. When I was in 200 level, someone actually went mad. You know why? He read too much. Alright, I do not believe that too. One fact that I am confident about is that the numbers at thesick bay is highest during exams.One time, I was at the health centre to report my healthcondition. The doctor just gaveme malaria drugs before listening to me. He wrote the prescription before I even stepped into his office. Yes, you know where I am going. School causes malaria."It does not matter what course you studied in school, it is the grade that matters.", I often got told. Later, it became,"it is not the grade that matters, it is how you can adapt to the business world."... It is not who you know it is what you know. Idiot, you're sitting there expecting someone to hire you, go find something to do. Learn hand crafts.My ears are full. My conclusion is that once you have figured out how to learn, you should probably skip school.A long time ago, a friend asked me what I was doing in school. I replied that it was to learn. He said it was for the certificates.There are a lot of online learning platformsthat are affordable, awesome and offer certificates. You can learn on one tab and tweet on another tab.I have found that instead of going to theUniversity, you may be better off staring at the sea for 8 hours a day. 7 days a week. This way you build your fluid knowledge. In the real world (the school environment is the fake world), what will ensure your adaptability and success is not the crammed up facts you learn in the University. It is the fluid knowledge that will ensure your safety in the tank of sharks.No one teaches accurately how to network in the University. The only way to be an effective communicator is actually by communicating. In the real world, you are constantly faced withuncomfortable conversations.Conversations with your boss, coworkers, fears, stage fright and rude secretary. The University community is filled with civilized people who understand how things should be done and are committed to doing them right. The real world is full of uncivilized people. They want to rip off your sanity with uncivilized conversations. You are the civilized one here. Who cares?Alright, I care. I want to save a lot of sanity. I am keeping scores. When I reach 1000 points, I will redeem a prize. I get to skip University when I "time travel" to 2010.For the sake of everyone's sanity, I've compiled the following list for your pleasure. I am not pretending they are exhaustive...1. Create your own library.I told you I am going to be serious. Alright,I actually usedtheword "sanity". They sayno knowledge is a waste. Pi, 3.142, but Pi...."But we're a university!We have to have a library!" saidRidcully. "It adds tone . Whatsort of people would we be ifwe didn't go into the library?""Students," said SeniorWrangler morosely."TerryPratchett, The Last ContinentCreate your own library. There is no subject on earth that has got no authority figure. Someone has written about it. Name it. Golf? 419? Aliens? Find books to satisfy your curiosity. Buy them, read them and apply them. You will, in four years, become an expert on the topic. Read life changing books. Expose your mind to new ideas and new ways of thinking. The mind has to be constantly intellectually stimulated. Otherwise, it hardens and you're formed. Permanently. The specie that survives is the one that adapts fastest.

Good advice, except the one that urges you to listen to loud music on headphones. It can damage your eardrum. Those scientists that did such a research should rather be music promoters.

Loool.... Thanks for the comment.

How to live an Amplified Life by David Wood:
–Forgive immediately
– Love with every fibre of your body
– Say YES to everything
– When you feel afraid, jump in with both feet
– Create friendships
– Keep your heart and your home open for others
– Enjoy the pot lucks, parties, stay up late and have great times together
– Pull an all nighter now and then to experience a 24 hour day
– Tell the truth as often as possible
– Share who you really are with others and be unafraid to do it
– Take more time out to go on an adventure

No matter how badly someone talks to you or treats you, never drop down to their level. Remain calm, stay peaceful, and walk away.

Listening to music is one of the few activities that utilizes the entire brain.

To enjoy life, you don’t need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren’t as serious as you make them out to be.
