"Work smarter, not harder" is a beautiful lie.
You can't work smart until you've worked hard long enough to know what actually works.
You have to earn the shortcut.

@I_arm_chelle Also, a way to properly dispose or take care of fiber optic cables that are not in use again but are left dangling on poles, sometimes on the road or in the gutters
@I_arm_chelle This is my mindset too. We don't have to "japa" because Nigeria isn't working, we can actually start with the little changes we can offer in Nigeria.
My dream is to contribute to the growth and positive changes in Nigeria wherever I find myself cos why not
It's my country
@sheisayapper_ Everyone's saying
I'll do my masters abroad
But with the war going on and how it can escalate
Is there any country that's peaceful to study ?
And some of the countries that most people go to for futher education might eventually get involved in the war
Omooo...
I heard a lady say, "Her brother started posting about Jesus and Bible verses. She was surprised because he does not want to hear that name in the house. He called her brainwashed and stupid.
When she asked him why the sudden change, he said, "It's not sudden actually. I have been watching your life; things have changed. You don't curse people out like you used to, and you don't get angry over things anymore. Therapy couldn't fix you, but Jesus did."
Our lifestyle should preach the gospel.
"I haven't started it either."
Results show up.
Either: 94/100 while complaining that it isn’t the 98 he expected.
You: 46/100.
I was really one of the “either” students until my coursemates unanimously decided never to believe my “either” again. They mtcheeeeeeeeeeewed at every either, and I won’t blame them.
In my experience, when top students say, “either,” it just means that they have given a physical form to their preparations. But in their minds, they have either been preparing or have been filtering what exactly must be read when they decide to. It doesn’t matter if it is just minutes to the test. And most times, they’re bang on the money with their predictions. It isn’t accidental, though. It is a matter of data.
They attended lectures, studied the lecturers, know the relationship between the lecturer and the lectures, plus have access to the stories of other top students who have been at that level before. When you put all these data together, they can precisely determine what part of the course makes up the 20 out of Pareto’s 80:20 ratio. They’ll do that while you probably struggle with trying to read it all from the beginning.
Yes, they might be honest that they haven’t started either. I was honest in my case. The problem is that when they start, they start at a different starting point, often closer to the finish line. And it makes all the difference.
One of the reasons you should have a top student friend, even if you’re a top student too. They can sense closer starting points.
