If you dislike your teacher, you will likely struggle in that class. If you hate your school, you will not have the energy to give your best right there.

People will tell you that you have no connections. Those things do not matter: excellence will connect you to any level. You just need to work hard to make people know what you do well. Over time, opportunities will break. The day they asked me to come to Harvard because of an article I wrote, I could not believe it. I did not know that someone in the finest business temple was reading me. It was the same connecting into Elumelu, Bill Gates, etc worlds; people just discover you! Simply, your excellence will make way. Think positive. Be positive. Put in more effort. You will win the FUTURE.
