I first wrote it as a post on NL six years ago: https://www.nairaland.com/163757/secrets-first-class-students
I later converted it to full article when I opened my blog in 2013.
It is also part of the 48 articles in my book, The Road to Victoria Island.

@Jarus,,,,u ar ryt,i love ur nyc approach,,,i actually copied nd pasted it wil d hop of motivating students nd not to make fp ,,,, ,sorry if it's ur article cuz i actually copied it frm a post in myschool.com,,,,,,,Tnx

coded80: I didn't have to look at this twice before recalling where I read it first. It really disgusts me when people like OP take credit for another person's work....A thread with good content such as this could hit FP and OP would be receiving all accolades
instead of Jarus, the original owner. Yet there are still many others out there who don't even realise duplication of their works
OP kindly rectify your "error" cos in case you havnt heard its called intellectual theft - a crime punishable by law. You obliviously Got that from jarus blog http://jarushub.com/2013/03/17/top-10-secrets-of-first-class-students/ and https://www.nairaland.com/163757/secrets-first-class-students

Phinity318: OP nice one, I'm in one of the Nigerian Polytechnic running my HND, started my gpa at 3.52 on a scale of 4.0, though I have heard stories of how the course I'm studying hardly produces a distinction graduate, I'm all set to break that record by the grace of God coupled with hard work! I enjoyed ur little pep talk believe me, u have more than motivated me not to settle for less!

Here are the top ten most powerful
secrets that are known by only few
students who emerge with First
class, get this secrets now and join
this team of outstanding scholars.
1. NATURAL BRILLIANCE:
There is a minimum level of natural
brilliance that is required before a
student can think of First Class. I do
not intend to put limit to one’s
capabilities, for I believe like most
people that impossible is nothing.
However, realistically speaking, that
is an exception to the rule. Most
First Class students have a track
record from lower levels of
education. That is the first
foundation.
2. THE POWER OF DREAM:
Most first class students dream. I
do not mean metaphysical dream, I
mean the Luther King definition –
vision, forward- looking, even
though awake. In secondary school I
had a friend who once looked up
and said, ‘the last time someone
made an aggregate 6 (i.e minimum
of 6 A1 ’s in SSCE) in this school
was 12 years ago, I want to be the
next’. He made it. Same boy told
me he wanted to ‘enter the back of
JAMB brochure’, meaning he
wanted to be among the top 3
JAMB students in Nigeria (JAMB
print at the back of the brochure for
a year the names of the best 3
candidates in the prior year’s
examinations). He didn’t make it,
but he scored 296. When this friend
of mine entered Ife, he went to his
faculty’s board, where names of
best students are engraved every
year, looked up and said, ‘when I
leave this school after five years I
want my name written on this
board’. He worked for it. He didn’t
make it. But he not only came out
with a CGPA north of 4.7 (of the
possible 5.0) but he also emerged
as one of his faculty’s best. After
that, he told someone that he
wanted to have his PhD without
doing Master’s degree. The person
told him it was hardly possibly, and
counted on his fingertips the
number of Nigerians that
performed that feat. My friend
proved our doubter wrong. He got
the PhD at age 29, skipping
Master’s. That is the power of
dream.
3. COMPETITION:
What most people don’t know is
that there is usually a subtle
competition among best students
in classes. The competition is not
necessarily unhealthy. They may be
–and in fact usually are – friends,
but they compete. In my
undergraduate days, story is told of
a guy that, at the beginning of
every semester, went to ask what
X, the best student in the class
immediately preceding his, scored
in each course and he would tell
those cared to listen to him that he
would break the record and score
higher than him. He did, most
times. Most First Class students
compete. Each wants to be the
highest scorer in each subject. That
is why it is always good to go to a
competitive institution, rather than
enjoy local championship status
without stiff competition.
4. CALCULATION:
When you see some students
reading a purely theoretical course
and having calculator by the side,
don ’t think they are insane or doing
‘over-syllabus’. No they are just
running the permutations – if I
score B in this course, what will my
CGPA be? What is the worst case
scenario? What is the best case
scenario? How many A’s do I need
to make X-CGPA? etc. These are
calculations that go on in their
heads. Some don’t even compute
their GP’s at the end of a semester,
they have the template in their
heads already, having done the
permutations over and over again
even before writing the
examinations, and they just insert
the course scores into their mental
template.
5. OPTIMISTIC MENTALITY:
Some students die many times
before their academic death. How
can a student gain admission into a
school and the first thing he hears
is, you can never make a First Class,
they wont give you. Well, I don’t
believe this. This is what kills many
students. How can you go to battle
with a defeatist mentality and
expect to win? Many First Class
students defy these “messengers
of doom” and pursue their target
optimistically. I finished from the
Obafemi Awolowo University and
this is one thing I must commend
students of the school for. As a
Jambite, what you hear are stories
of one Deji Akere that shattered
school records, or one Hammed
pootu that effortlessly broke any
record breakable. You even hear of
stories of students that had
graduated since the 1970s. These
are stories that motivate you, not
some tale by moonlight about a
sadist lecturer denying you First
class. This is another very vital
feature of First Class students.
They don’t believe rooster and bull
stories.
6. ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT:
Academic environment also helps.
In a school where you spend most
of your time queuing for water or
transport or forced to read with
candle, chances of academic
success are very low. This is why
Nigerian students do well abroad
where they have all the facilities and
learning is conducive. This is also
why school
