A pot of hot soup has been placed in front of students and some are near to it now so they can get relish. In this world everyone already has life and in that case that sadza in the plate, but for it to be eaten alone, it’s very hard. Therefore as we all know that knowledge is the key to success, obtaining certificates is very vital in this juncture.
Gone are the times when a man could live successfully without papers (certificates) because technology was still in the pit, but now we need it for employment .
For all candidates within the geographical boundaries of Zimbabwe, making it in your exams is like reaching out for the hot soup. It is not easy to get but once you get it, life begins to taste better, once you obtain certificates on the O and A level studies, you would have created better opportunities for your own future.
You are an ordinary level student, passing bridges you to the next stage of advanced studies, or concrete you a way to technical college for a diploma, therefore passing this stage is very vital as it is the first of them all.
You are an advanced level student; obtaining better grades hence better points opens gates for you to a better profession of your choice student, you already have something in mind you want to study from there as well as plans, since you know and have it, you also have requirements (the least points needed) therefore work for it and so better because universities and colleges are waiting for your non-disgusting applications. What matters the most is that you make it through from your stage to the next levels.
Remember, no matter an ordinary or advanced level student, the next level you are looking up to with an invitational card ‘pass’ ushers you to new and better experiences, environments, colleagues, challenges and most of all, knowledge, therefore don’t miss it.
You are almost there and I assure you once you step for it, you will love it.
But the problem is, some of you are already throwing away their nets yet the fish is now near.
Some even think they cannot make it and are already planning for supplements, but to reassure you, it takes a serious and dedicated man to climb Kilimanjaro and walk on top of it.
Here is your question, if you re abandoned in the middle of a deadly jungle, would you give up yourself to the predators or would you not try for a way out, or a bomb is to explode in two minutes and you are in the 10th floor, would you opt for sauced or find a way out?
Just as you are in this situation I will give some hints of a way out.
Get focussed Focus is the animal that hinders you from aiming your target if you don’t have it, but can as well make you hit the target.
This last month and days can actually bring out something that can make you sail through only if you focus, especially when you really know that lack of it made you fail before, then focus now and make it.
Your aim is to pass so as to remain in that target. The more you focus the better you understand.
Blacklist barrier
To remain focused you have to deal with whatever disturbs you to study or understand what you are studying. I figured out that most of the readers can spend a percentage of their reading time imagining or thinking other things. Every barrier has to be black listed this time. If they are friends or any individual who is a disturber, suspension is due, if it is the television get on fasting just for this month.
Remember a sacrifice for this month will make you enjoy for years contrary to if you fail to sacrifice, you can use years and even weep many of them. So come on out there get rid of those defenders, deal with them with a strike straight at a goal. Prune yourself and make sure there is no fly attractor on you.
Assist each other
There is a Shona proverb that says “ Rume rimwe harikombe churu” meaning one cannot do it alone. Feel for your colleague as yourself or blood, when one is outside make him get inside meaning help each other know what he/she doesn’t share ideas, information as well as sources, give each other tips and sail together. Stop competing with each other for no reason rather you might be wishing to be an accountant and your colleague a business administrator or one a doctor and the other an engineer, or one wishes to study law and the other political science you are going in different directions, so why compete.
There is no way you will apply for the same post even if it is so, how do you feel when your colleague is left behind. This way you can prove love which God wishes us all to have -1 Corinthians 13 – when you help each other. Also if you lack anything seek information about it than to regret after the exam.
Prayer + Study = Pass
One thing for sure, God is always needed in whatever we do. There is no God where there is a bad result or that looking like good result can be in vain.
Nothing of the devil lasts but only God’s giving gifts can live forever therefore if you pray you would have involved God and he will make you do it.
That misunderstanding you have in that subject or topic, it is only God who can make you understand it. A lot of people out there are fought by pronounced curses, generational cures, spiritual attacks.
The more you pray and the more you study the greater the probability of you passing.
Not one of these must lack or be done in parts but both should be balanced enough and you will find yourself equipped. This is a straight equation that gives a clear answer, prayer +study =pass.
If you want to know you read and if you want to understand you pray. Prophet Andrews always says “you cannot change the past but the future you can” and this enabled by God, You might have failed previously or some who went before you might have failed but you can change everything and this, only by God .
