During my third year in the secondary school, we used to reside on the main school campus whiles our teachers were on the bungalow, which is a long distance away from the main campus. Most of us might have planned to read over our notes immediately we returned from school since there was the tendency to leave them as soon you get a pile of notes to deal with. But it is so happened that after we returned most of us would go and eat, bath, engage in conversations and eventually give into tiredness and sleep.
The day's work was left unread -another mountain added to the ever growing pile of notes to cram. Not surprising, student became jittery when exams approached. Studying was done in haste and the result were average and below average grades. Eric's story was different. He knew that procrastination is the tool that digs the grave of the ambitious so immediately we came from the school campus, tired or not he would head straight to the library.
Where he would thrash out the day's work by reading over his notes, making sure he understood the concept, solving
question from those and possibly getting more insight from other sources. He usually stuck to this principle of his and it produced tremendous results in the end. He had a virtue most of us did not have: that character of sticking to something called discipline. He had control over his body and told it what to do at any particular time irrespective of whatever tiredness or laziness the body might be feeling. This is what creates champions.
