During my undergraduate days,I faced a lot of obstacles.The challenges were so overwhelming that I decided to change departments in 300 level and that would mean going back to 200level in another department.
A professor warned me against this and said even if you come out with a third class or pass,you can still do a postgraduate diploma and proceed for your masters .His exact words were "kid,you plan with what you have.You can't plan with what you don't have".I'm glad I followed his advice though..
I heard it from a priest. He said: " there are 4 things to remember in life. First, money can be earned, its not the most important thing in life so don't burden yourself with it. Second, quarrels can be resolved. If you delayed it, you will have to carry it for the rest of your life. What for? it is a useless luggage. Third, the life of a loved one is irreplaceable. You can say what ever you want but once your loved one passed, it will be for nothing. you should have no regrets that you went out of your way for someone. And the fourth, the lost of your soul is your greatest failure. You can have everything but in the end, you lose your soul you're a failure."
