making money on campus 1

hey, how are your finances? do you wish you could make extra cash whiles on campus without having to struggle or skip classes? why? cos If you are like me or most other guys your answer obviously is a YES! you need the extra cash to add to what the oldman could scrape together and if you are a lady you could also do with a few Ghana cedis in this day and age of Independent women. you ask how? well, its real easy, cos ive done it and im still doing it. read on and let me give you the 411. the secret is to make yourself valuable by acquiring extra or what we call soft and technical skills. let me ask you a few questions. do you have a passport? what about a driver's license? are you computer fluent? (notice i didn't say computer literate but fluent.) how many languages can you speak? do you hold any leadership position on campus? how are your organizational skills? can you play any game very well? are you a sportsman or sportswoman? are you part of your drama club in church? are you an usher or technical man in church? the list is endless. if your answer to all these is a NO, then you better stop reading, think really hard and start something. if you answered Yes in any of these questions then you are on your way to making extra cash on campus.the more skills you have, the more money you can make and the more ways you can make them. ( all legally of course).
lets start with computer fluency. this is the complete specilaization or mastery of basic computer programmes like Microsoft Excell, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Power Point, Microsoft Publisher, Coral Draw and other common programmes. so you see, simple Microsoft Word knowledge and basic internet skills is inadequate. do you know that designing posters, handbills and digital banners for associations, churches, halls and aspirants can earn you a decent flow of income with no cost at all to you. all you need is a computer and a pendrive. things that can easily be borrowed from friends of you dont have them yourselve. you can also teach people these basic skills for money if you are the teaching type. what abpot creating blogs and webpages for these associations and groups? what about designing certificates, greeting cards, programmes line ups? all these can earn you extra cash on campus. so what are waiting for? why don't you start learning these computer programmes and join the very few selected group of entepreneural students who are becoming rich on campus. quit wasting all your time at the JCR, T.V. room and pool side invest that time in learning a computer programme or two. to be continued.......

from knowledge to wisdom

i keep wondering how come most Africans have tremendous capacities to retain information but lack any sense of achievement or development. i have come to believe after several studies that, the main problem is the transformation of knowledge to wisdom. that is, the conversion of information to informed and planned action that is directed towards the achievement of goals and visions. many of us like reading, planning and imagining but when it comes to continuous consistent dedication to action, we fall short of the mark. students and young men need to commit to strategics and concrete drafting of detailed plans. the journey must not end with just the drafts, but must be accompanied by action and check up plans to facilitate the achievement of meaningful results. if we as the youth do not practice action oriented thinking and take charge in this 21st century we will have no to blame but ourselves. there is too much money to be made, too many sucesses to be chalked. lets transform our knowledge to wisdom, our plans to actions and our dreams to realities. here i go.
