HAPPINESS IS AN INSIDE JOB...
Prior to my Master's degree, I had lots of expectations as of being an excellent student with accumulated As in all my courses but later as I continued I discovered that this wasn’t about only book smarts. Academic studies can also offer you plenty of priceless life lessons one can use for years to come.
If you must present anything in the professional world, present integrity. Choosing your thoughts and actions based on values rather than personal gain. Integrity is important in all areas of life, which is not a quality we are born with but gained through nurture, practice, and accountability.
If it costs you nothing, it's most likely worth nothing. Generally, nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work. Academia demands so much with the acquiring of various skills and this has truly taught me to give in sacrifice in order to yield the best results.
If it is a dream then make it as wild as your imagination can go, because reality will always try to drown you in doubt.
Celebrating small success. Am sure many of us focus on the final achievement of every task you are working on, I have learned to celebrate the small wins that will boost and give you the moral to push forward to get the end result. this also connects with the dividing of a big chunk of work into small manageable workloads for productivity.
Passion is more important than talent. This draws my mind to a statement of “the heart versus the head”. With lots of stuff taught in school being picky to do more of what I enjoy has been something I have learned along the way. There are lots of skills and more come up overnight but focusing on what sets your heart free is very virtue.
With all these lessons, I find myself moving with a changed perspective toward education and this makes me inspired to create, and motivate others beyond the thinking of a teacher as the only fountain of knowledge. And with all this, I have been inspired to start a platform to share some of the life experiences in academia.
Lesson: With all the busy schedules in life as you try to achieve your set goals, be true, faithful and be strong, and always do things that bring the spark out in your and make you feel you happy. Happiness is truly an inside job.
