It is anyone who wants additional knowledge of concepts new and old to him. A Student consults and visits our <a href=\"https:\/\/afribary.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">library<\/a> at least 3 times a week looking for Materials to keep his brain busy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Once you stop Learning, You start dying<\/em> &#8211; Albert Einstein.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/afribary.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Einstein_laughing-hmmm.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-610\" src=\"https:\/\/afribary.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Einstein_laughing-hmmm.jpeg\" alt=\"Einstein_laughing hmmm\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nHowever, There are 6 Rules you must observe as a Student.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Be Self-Disciplined: <\/strong>Stay in charge and motivate yourself. Stay on track, strive to achieve your ultimate goal which is learning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Work:<\/strong> Be Hardworking, learn to multitask. You should have not less than 7 Courses to tackle outside general reading for general awareness. So you have to work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Be Creative:<\/strong> Break away from bandwagon effect of digesting only what you are thought. Try out new methods of solving old problems. Take initiatives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Always Be Around:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t miss classes, Tests, assignments and Examination. Ensure you are subscribed to <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=afribary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">favourite blogs<\/a> to receive timely information on subjects that matter to you. If you are around, you are two steps ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Maintain Healthy Relationships:<\/strong> Build formidable allies, surround yourself with people on the same mission as you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Be Flexible:<\/strong> Clinging to your own ideas and those you acquired in your previous environment can cloud you from learning new things. Be open-minded and accept new ideas. Ask questions and get timely answers from experts if you must counter ideas. Besides Change is constant right? Another Change just happened.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy your week.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As often believed, A Student is someone who sits within the four walls of a classroom, receives lectures\/lessons, does piles and loads of tests, assignments and examination with the sole aim of pursuing a particular career.
