Believe it or not, We’ve all been lied to. The most potent lie we were ever told in life was this “go to school, get good grades and you will make it in life.”

Please before you crucify me, I want you to know that I am not against the school system but all I am saying is that this little prison called “school” has been overhyped to the extent that people can do anything just to find themselves there. I know of a lot of people who took up a course they know nothing about just because they wanted to get the certificate. They wanted to be called students.

Certificate is good but when it is combined with passion, it becomes even better. Most of the people who now rule the world did not do that by pursuing a certificate but by following their passions. Their passions led them straight to limelight and the certificates came crawling before their doors.

Here are some reasons why your passion is far better than that certificate.

1. You don’t see your passion as a burden:
The reason why most scientist succeeded was because their passion was in what they were doing. You can never get bored of following after your passion.

2. The certificate market is congested
There are no jobs anywhere and there are job opportunities waiting to be discovered. The certificate market may be congested but the passion market is never congested. There is always a vacancy.

3. Certificate is slavery, passion is freedom
With certificates, you become enslaved to certain laws and theories that were propounded by others but with passion, you tend to set the rules. While certificates lead to bondage, passion sets your whole being free.

Nice one..


What if I have passion for armed robbery?

Nigeria education is a zilch!
The only thing we do here is committing lecturers note and text books into memory. If you are on first class don't think you are intelligent-----it is just that you allot more of your time into memorizing stupid notes given you by your lecturers.
Before you start criticizing me, I am also a student. First class in part one (100level) before preclinical, now in part4. we are still memorizing book coupled with stupid practicals. Nigeria education na watch!

What if your passion is facing obstacles like inadequate materials, finance and support. What will you do?
