“The difference between school and life is that in school, you are taught a lesson and then given a test; In Life you are given a test that Teaches You a lesson”

“He, who opens a school door, closes a Prison”

Are you one of those young men and women who are either losing or have already lost control of their minds and behavior to peer pressure and popular culture?
Do you dance to the tune of other people’s music or are you making your own music?
Are you an eagle soaring high in the skies of success or are you a chicken flocking together with other chicken and doing dumb stuff because “OTHERS” are doing it?
Are you a character in other peoples stories or are you writing your OWN story?
Are you just an oxygen thief wasting time/space in school or college or are you a student aspiring to achieve academic excellence?
Are you in control of your life and future? Or are controlled by your life?
“I WISH I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW”
Trust me that these words will definitely roll off your tongue or go through your mind ten or twenty years to come…….UNLESS you TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE” NOW!
Many grownups today will tell you the same thing. If somehow they were taken back into their teenage years in high school or college there are so many things they would do differently. Top most on their list would take their school or college work seriously! To perform exceptionally well in class and come out with top grades. This would have put them firmly on their desired career paths and ensure that they “DETERMINE THEIR DESTINY”
  But now to most of them it’s a little too late. And they have been left “WISHING THAT THEY KNEW THEN WHAT THEY KNOW NOW”
“DON’T JOIN THAT GROUP”
“DON’T TAKE THAT PATH”
“DON’T RUIN YOUR LIFE BY WASTING THE OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE NOW”
Seize the moment and start writing your OWN STORY of your life. The good thing about writing your own story is that you can create whatever HAPPY ENDING YOU DESIRE”
The value of Education has shot sky-high. It is a necessity in today’s world. The intellectual competition out there is cut throat! Gone are the days when people floated through school or college and came out with poor grades and a certificate.
In today’s world “GOOD EDUCATION IS THE KEY”.  The world is quickly becoming “A GLOBAL VILLAGE”  and that means you have to think globally and not locally!
You are a brand unto yourself and any marketer will tell you that a brand which offers a high value in terms of satisfaction is a strong brand. It can sell anywhere. THAT’S WHY COCA COLA IS EVERYWHERE”
In the same breath education will turn you into an international brand marketable anywhere! It will open doors and make you fit perfectly into the global society. “THE OPPOSITE IS GRIM” lack of good education will limit you. Like a poorly valued brand you will be utmost unmarketable anywhere.
Education opens up life to diverse possibilities and opportunities, as vast as the universe itself! It expands your mind and broadens your thinking. It affords you knowledge “WHICH IS POWER” it places the world at your feet. You can achieve anything you want , so long as you put your mind to it!
If you are either reading this article of listening to me present it in some of the leadership seminars and mentorship workshops and through my motivational speaking or via most of the social media that I am in, YOU HAVE JUST PUT YOURSELF ON THE RIGHT PATH TOWARDS DETERMINING YOUR FUTURE!
The program that I run is called “DESTINY SHAPERS METORSHIP PROGRAM” and  I target ages 12 and above that’s high school and college and university students in Kenya and beyond.
It’s a fact that EDUCATION SYSTEM IN KENYA have no provision for academic skills such as time management and study techniques leaving the students to use their own means.
Recent media reports have highlighted the lack of discipline in schools that has led to wanton strikes and Arson. This coupled with many problems that plague high school students and college students has exposed the need for focused attention on the dynamic needs of today’s students.
“DESTINY SHAPERS METORSHIP PROGRAM” (founded by me and registered under the laws of Kenya) is propelled by the desire to offer guidance to students in areas such as the importance of education ,developing academic goals, managing time ,preparing for exams ,physical, health, discipline, and good social behavior. This program is unique because it combines academic principles with motivational precepts to offer an un paralleled guide to motivational package.
“The future is a ball of wet clay, it is up to you to mold it into what you want it to be. And that process begins with getting a good education”
