, Let me make a confession to you, I did it too and at some points it worked.

What did I do?

I did something that helped me maintain a 4.** /5.00 Cummulative Grade Point until final year. If you had to do a number of courses that contained Algebra, Real Analysis, Numerical Analysis,..., you will need it.

I remember during undergraduate days how I will read and look for diverse acronyms just to remember some definitions as well as highlights. It was real work to do so. We somehow had to do this thing I am about to tell you..

What is it?

CRAMMING...

It is a system of uploading into your brain and ensuring no one distracts you during a test or exam so you can download on the answer sheet. After this is done, you will finally feel eased like someone who just used the gents (I hope I got this).

, It is so funny how some people will have their faces so squeezed as though it was a battle with the gladiators before the examination and smile when they are done downloading. Na wa o!

Yet, this worked for so many people who eventually had good first class grades or second class grades. Want to know what I finished with? Hmmmmm, let's leave that.

Funny enough, so many of us employ this same principles to life. We cram a lot of principles, write them down, get excited we can recite them offhand but never get to experience them because we never execute.

, it is good you are planning to attend another session, be in a masterclass and read that book. Please, do but don't try to engage the cramming rule.

Always ask yourself key questions.

1. What do I expect from this sesison/book?
2. What area of my life is this session/book addressing?
3. How will this session/book add to my life?
4. Why do I think this session/book is meant for me?
5. What are the action points I would be taking after this session or reading this book?

Don't be too quick to gather or claim knowledge. Determine how you plan to utilize it. No wonder many end up having good grades on campus but are not positioned to make impact in the real world.

The real world deals with reality.

, it's time to take action with all the cramming from books you have read and webinars you have watched.

You are the best proof of whatever you claim to know.

The principles of life are not to be crammed; they are to be thought through and engaged.

Always remember this - I love and celebrate you as much as concerned about your personal growth.

We will be wise!
