A pal of mine shared this to me so I decided to share it to you as well, because of my generosity. He said these are the strategies he implied that made him stood out in academics, handed him connection and fame even when he haven't started his major programme in school. It goes thus:
1. Nothing is free in life, its either you are paying one thing or the other, in school, when Your parents pay the school fees, you have to pay attention to enable you reap the value of the fees they paid.
2. Don't be stereotyped but mirror your lectures. Do what the lecturers tell you to do and don't do what they said you shouldn't do and they - - lecturers--will love you and fight for you in critical times. When you are talking to Profs, talk, pose and act like one. Same to lecturers and other great men you would meet. He said if you don't, they will also rate me and see me as a kid. So don't rush while talking, don't shout, speak slowly and in a low tone to command attention and simply it works.
3 You don't have to accept the roles and rules your parents gave you from home, it will make you behave like any other students because their parents also gave them similar template. Carve your own part, keep right but don't do what other students are doing. If you have questions, be bold and ask your lecturers. also answer questions too.
4. The students will become jealous and many will dislike you but the lecturers will love you more. But be humble, proud but simple, and soon enough, those who despise you will be at peace with you.
5. Set a standard and follow it up. And everyone will respect you and pave way for you.
6. The most important as he said is that you should never reveal your identity; that is your family history. Put family issues aside and don't mention it to anyone. Otherwise people will measure you and rate you. Which will then limit your achievement.
7. He also said that the best and worst result is being made in the first year. You should always be conscious of that.
8. Information drive our time. Make friends from the highest grade, class and colleague, ask after each lecturers techniques of marking, psychology and association. Get them to give you basic information and past questions and It will get you ahead. Information is power, its no longer knowledge.
9. Help your colleagues, be that person they run to and look up to, be friendly, put up a nice demeanor and be that person they are calling for in information, for help....tutor them for that is how you become a leader.
10. Never tell anyone your strategy, it will become conventional and useless. And you will became useless to them as well.
