Things they don’ teach you at universities.

“I am sorry for the bad news, but you have failed your exam.”

That is what a teacher said to one of his students when he gave him his result. The student did not say anything. Of course. He was scared.

He got an F. He has been studying through the whole semester to get an A. And now, he has failed.

This is the first thing that is unfair about formal education, but far from the last.

As a student, we’re taught to avoid problems as if they do not exist in the real world.

I am sorry to tell you this: but you need a mindset reset. Like I needed when I failed again and again.

School did not teach me that failures are necessary and even paramount to our progress in life.

In life, no matter how good you are, you will never get straight A’s. You fail many times before you get an A in life.

On the times we avoided failures of any kind at school, we have got to embrace them in life. If we want to come out a winner to the other side.

Prepare this assignment on time or you are not going to be a student in my class anymore. Answer these questions in the exact manner I want you to.

We bowed our head and did what we were told. We did not question other options. We did not know we had them.

Life will teach us that we have options when we start working. When we face challenges. When we fail. When we are faced with things that school did not teach us.

I have a degree and a Masters. But I am still mad at the traditional educational system. But I am madder at myself. For expecting my education to prepare you for life.

In the end, it was me who changed my mindset.

In life, you win when you embrace problems. The bigger the problems, the bigger the money and the stronger you become.

“Here’s your Degree.”does not make us face challenges every day.

Choose to see the world with a different perspective. Work on your attitude towards problems and problem-solving (as opposed to what we’re taught at school). Be intentional. Grow your creativity muscles.

The more you face the storm that is lurking on your door, the more confident you will become at solving any challenges that come your way.

I hope you reset your mindset. It benefits you.
