Then the standard was raise to bachelors degree, then to Masters. Today having a Ph.D does not guarantee you Nathing.

I am more afraid of the regret of doing too little than the regret of mistakes from attempting too much. It's because even the little attempted will not be free of errors. Much as no one sets out to make mistakes, they are inevitable. Mistakes are how we learn. I noticed while learning to speak English that those who where not afraid to knack kpoa are the ones that eventually improve. While the ones that where afraid of being laughed at remained as bad or worse. When embrace your imperfect self you release your perfect self. Don't be ashamed of your hustle. Don't disregard your journey. You will get there if you start and persist. Good morning. #ThursdayMotivation # IfUknowUknow

How can you, a graduate, engage in petty trade, network marketing or home-based production? That is for people who never went to school! 6. Complain about everything except your own attitude and laziness. Blame the system, the government and the banks that refused to lend you money. They ar...
