Introduction:
Academic success is not a child’s play. There are prices to be paid in order to be successful. Climbing the ladder to the peak of one’s career requires a lot of seriousness, diligence, attention and focus.

To be successful means to be able to achieve one’s aims and goals in life. It goes beyond having high grade or participating in class. Academic excellence entails taking the extra mile to achieve the set goals, avoiding any distractions and being on track till one get to the finish line.

Those who are successful in their career did not jump down from heaven neither do they have bigger heads nor wider brains. Student can also be like their mentors only if they can follow the steps and pathways to achieving success.

1. Know yourself: 

Discover when, where and how best you assimilate when reading and make use of it. Do not walk in other people’s shoes nor be a copycat.

2. Be and build smart friends. (Proverbs 13:20) 

There is nothing better than having a friend. Not just any friend, but a smart friend. A friend who will add value to you and support you in achieving academic excellence. Make sure you are making the RIGHT friends. 

  “If you are persistent you will get it, if you are consistent you will keep it.”

3. Put effort in getting good grades. 

I believe you can get good grades and if you believe in yourself. But mind you, believing only will not get you those grades. You need to put in DAILY efforts in getting them. 

4. Reduce your personal time waster: 

You’ve got to reduce your time on things that does not enable you become productive as a student. Most times, we spend too much time watching TV, playing games, whasapp or face booking, etc. I know you need time to relax, but you also need to cut back on these activities so that you can be able to focus and succeed. 

5. Work hard to get better knowledge. 

Understand this: you are not only in school to get good grades alone. You are also in school to acquire knowledge. Knowledge they say, is power! So make sure you are working hard to acquire knowledge that will enable you succeed not only in school but also, after school.

6. Renew yourself regularly.

Do you always feel stressed-out, imbalanced or empty inside? If you do, then you need to take time to replenish yourself. Meaning, you need to regularly renew and strengthen the four key areas of your life—your body by exercising or eating healthy food; your mind by reading, writing; your heart by building relationships, laughing; and your soul by praying, mediating, keeping a journal. By renewing yourself regularly, you will be better to deal with any matters.
