2. Why am I in BIUST?
 Have you ever asked yourself why you
do somethings? Why you make or you
made some decisions?
 If yes, then are you doing enough to
reach for that reason,
 If no, why don’t you start now?

4. Tertiary myths
 You don’t have to sleep without a degree
 You have all the freedom to do all things
and still make it
 You just have to be close to lecturers to
get what you want, no need to work hard
 Your senior school performance is
proportional to you tertiary performance
 You are nobody if you don’t party and
hang up.

5. Understanding yourself
 Identify your position
 Define your purpose
 Define your need
 Set goals
 Design a life plan
‘In life the happiest people are those
who have an achievable purpose.’
¬D.B. Munyadzwe

6. Understanding yourself
Who I am Who I want to be
 Never dwell on your past
because each day is a
new day.
 Refer to your past not to
regret but to avoid
repeating mistakes.
 You need to know who
you are now, to measure
how much effort you
need, to change to who
you want to be.
 Accept failure now,
because every success
is defined by failure.
 Know your pillar, and live
it, that is let GOD be on
top of everything you do.
 Change your ways, focus
and your lifestyle to be
online with the new being
you want to be.

2. Write down all the things you know
might stop you from achieving those
and find ways to deal with them.
