Yes, I am a student, and I ought to read books; especially about current affairs.
Listen to news, and participate in sports.
I ought to have by now started planning my purpose for the future, that's having knowledge or skill of what to become.
I ought to be relevant to my religion, and thoroughly exercise on my godliness.
Create time for services, mine and other than my church; so-to experience a difference worthwhile.
Clean the church and practice my drums every Saturday, which I am appointed to as a worker in my church.
Rather honestly, I have not by any chance come up with the thought of doing all these;
Instead, I spent my time on watching (Action, Triller, Mystery, SciFi, Romantic) movies.
Listen to Afro songs, though I play well in football; but not too good with volleyball.
In addition, I don't take church services seriously.
Being a student is not about putting a uniform on and present in the school only, there's some more facts that makes you a recognised student.
My study! It's only to those who study, there's testimony in the goodness of knowledge.
Studying is so as reflecting on the things taught before. It's the power and ability to seek new or more knowledge.
Who told you knowledge cannot be stretched? It's up to you to do your research and memorize: that I would synonym 'crime'. One good thing in knowledge is it comes in and stretches.
When or after being taught,
endeavor to make your own research then memorize.
My news! Students don't listen to news. As they have had it in mind it's for adults only.
But that's not true! It's not till you read the press, watch headlines or research up on Google/Wikipedia to get news.
Every piece of information you receive can also be called news.
We go to schools and on holidays, what are these times there for?
We could recharge our brains for every second by just meeting people, asking new questions and knowing about places.
That's information itself, it deals with our daily routines.
My sport! There's this time in a match with my colleagues. Then I saw a pretty girl, she was looking towards me and I lost my attention.
Sports and all other actions taken in life deal with your focus, and when you're; then you'd discover you don't have to make corrections overtime.
My religion! Church going is not just about your regular going for Sunday services in every week, but blending your flesh in the spirit.
That's, having insights for your daily manner (Bible), listening to sermons, evangelism press, centering your faith in God, giving out welfare to the poor etc.
With all of these present, you're fitted for a 'recognized' student.
'Time As My Only Weapon' was a quote i once knew.
Successful people don't wear watch, they work with time. It's paramount you use every time wisely, as a second that passes in time count.
In a discussion earlier about time, and after; my opinion was 'time is so precious!'
How much do you sleep? Some could sleep for a max of twelve (12) hours good. That kind of amount of time slept would make one day if the person sleeps twice.
Imagine someone merely wasting twenty-four (24) hours (a day) and more in sleep.
However, the time you care wasting never was a waste; as somebody is using it to fulfill dreams.
How To Use Time: The best way to use time is in division. Since time does not wait, and is always on the movement; you can make a division.
Resting is regarded as a human thing, and everything living by breath should rest; as it's energy for the body, refreshment for the brain, medicine for the health etc.
Taking rest helps your body grow well, and too much of it makes you to be lazy: That's, not having to save sometime for your daily exercise.
Maybe your sleep time starts to end between 7 P.M (Night) and 7 A.M (Morning), which is a total of twelve (12) hours sleep; and if divided into two makes six (6) hours. Instead of a sleep from seven (7) to seven (7), why not sleep-seven (7) and wake one (1), which is equally six (6) hours counting from backwards or towards seven.
Imagine all you could do with your other six (half) hours.
*Credit Talk.
Again, and the topic still on time; how it changes and how the change could affect things. In example, Nigeria's economy which is known for going high every day blessed.
In 2023 presently, the economy condition in Nigeria has been unbearable strokes on it's citizens. From fuel 'subsidy' subtracted to government 'taxes' increased.
And about 99.9% citizens are exposed to such fate, especially government workers and business holders.
As of then in 2007, fuel price was a sum of just 65 naira per litre. As of now in 2023, the price had topped a shocking sum of 900 to 1,000 naira, per litre.
When did we got here?! Politics and power is the problem as we ought to all know it; how they get into seat and misuses power.
Such changes is regarded as negative, cause the citizens are being tackled daily from it!
In some states, students are only scheduled to be in school three days a week; due subsidy influence.
Many students are at their complaining state, saying their restriction from other days in school is in fact exhausting.
In some states, government workers salaries are being delayed on no sympathy: government doesn't pay on time to workers.
Most workers who are their families head are now loosing it to;
Family pressure.
Economy stress.
Transportation fare.
Debts.
In conclusion, use your time with wisdom applied; as every time wasted can not ever be regained.
