Do you know that when some students fail academically, they begin to blame some of the activities they were involved in like; fellowship work, politics, dance, music and the likes. But the truth is that these activities didn't fail them, they failed to balance things.
Some other students are also involved in these same activities and even more but they still do well academically. A great man once said that as students, we have more than 10,000 hours free from our year one to our final year. The question now is; how do you make use of these free hours?
There is time for everything, time to read, time to play, time for politics, time to gym, etc. just plan and manage your time. When you want to read, read. When you want to play, play. When you want to work, work. Don't ever mix them together. Create an optimum BALANCE.
Nobody wants to hear your EXCUSES of FAILURE rather your STORIES of SUCCESS.
