Education: How I redeemed myself



By Odunayo Akinlade


Many will say as if straight from the horses mouth
Education is the best legacy
Yes, that education is what remains when one forgotten
What seemed like forever to learn in school

I never wanted to believe what they say
That education is the supreme way the
Teacher awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge
Education is the miracle, the opportunity that comes in
What happens to be a one and ephemeral lifetime

Can it be said the only way to achieve your burning future desires is education?
I am made to realize that learning entails questioning
The important thing is not to stop questioning
He who asks wants to know and 
to know means greatness


I learn as time goes by that education is the highest form of understanding
You get the chicken by hatching the egg
Not by smashing it
So, the key to success is patience


The most amazing thing about learning
Is that no one can actually take it away from you,
Once in you, it remains a part of you and it
Defines your personality.


I can proudly tell you now that
You must be a student before you can be a teacher,
A servant before becoming the master
The entire teacher opens the door of success
Walking into it is the transition in becoming a great person in life.

These questions, these situations, these words make me finally realize,
Propels me to be in consensus
That’s why I believe, after so many dark years,
Education is the best legacy.

Highlighting: A very important tool in studying

Image
By Olaleye Boluwatife Ezekiel Have you ever read a book whereby you need a particular information or Idea from after finishing it, say after some few days and when you go back to the book, you are unable to find what you need? Or have you ever typed or read a document on the computer but find it difficult locating a point that you deemed important during the course of exploring such document? Have you ever asked yourself why you can’t pinpoint exactly the line, paragraph or page where you found an important message in a book you read not quite long ago? The answer is here: If you are having these problems, the reason is because you didn’t highlight such important info while reading, you j ust read through thinking your brain would accommodate every single detail in the book hook, line and sinker. Highlighting is both applicable in hard and soft copies. In the case of hard copies for instance, reading a textbook, novel or a bible, it means to mark with a usually f...
