YOU ARE NOT DUMB

Everyone is a genius but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's life believing that it is stupid.

Currently in the world today, Humans are said to be the most evolved and highly adapted in the Biosphere. We were endowed with a great gift called the Brain.

The brain is a highly complex structure found beneath the skull and it is very delicate and protected by various layers of protective substances like fat,white mater,grey mater and many other things Incorporated. It is said to be the seat of knowledge and also the domain of human coordination.

It makes up a part of the nervous system known as the Central Nervous System alongside it's partner the spinal cord of which works hand in hand to give the body total control and coordination, Fascinating right? Yes it is

The human brain is said to weigh an average of 3.7Kg, and possesses various connections attached, these connections are known as nerves they also aid the control of the human activities daily serving to transmit electrical impulses.

That being said I'll like to talk about the header up there
"YOU ARE NOT DUMB" Many people in the world today are attributed with that statement You are dumb, as I Nigerian I am I definitely know how to tell the story of what I see and experience in my environment daily.

Many young Nigerians are traumatized with the pile of lie that they are dumb, probably due to lack of academic prowess or inability to interact in social gatherings and also some lack of technical know how.

Many young Nigerians are judged today based on those factors listed above though there are some others but I'll not be enumerating them all today.

Taking reference to the Popular Neurosurgeon Dr Benjamin Carson and his experience while growing up it actually was an evidence to show that no one is actually dumb.

Dr Benjamin Carson whom authored a world selling book, Think Big where he wrote about his life story in the book. The book which was about him as a young boy who lacked academic prowess while he was still a small boy growing up in the city of Detroit in the United States,always coming out at the bottom part of the class this was actually a big blow for the mother but it wasn't a reason for her to give up on her child or fill him with the stamp that he is dumb and give up on him mentally, she believed he could develop his brain and become smarter only if he was willing to work and yes he was actually willing to work. He put in the work through constant study of different books spent several hours studying and learning new things soon enough the hardwork started manifesting his Brain developed rapidly and a boy at the bottom of the class grew to basically be one of the greatest Neurosurgeons alive today.

This story narrated above is actually just a simple reference point to we students out here on campus connect who could be going through different phase of emotional downline due to our inability to perform very excellently in our daily academic activities I am here to let you know today that you are not dumb it all requires some extra work and self discovery, it is always necessary to know one's pattern of operation in order to perform very well.

And also in life generally, if one is to grow admitting your current position matters. It helps one know where they are and make moves to elevate to higher positions we tend to make comparison with other people of different capacities and it doesn't help us grow at all rather demoralizing us and decreasing our self esteem hence affecting how we work and push to grow our mental status.

The semester has already began daily stress from lectures, registrations, and other school activities we end up getting extremely tired and worn out but it is always necessary to put in some little work.

There are students out there that are nocturnal, they are highly active and well retentive when they observe their night study and that's great at least it is what works for them and there are those who are very active during the day for everything they need to do very well in studies they just need that extra hours after class and the work is done.

Do you know where you are? Are you a nightwalker or a day type? It's always necessary to admit which category you fall into and make do with it because a person deprives him or herself sleep at night doesn't make you who doesn't do same less serious you are just doing what works for you and also constant study builds the brain and increases neural activities.

Make acquaintances with those smarter and possess the knowledge you need get to know them well interact with them and humbly request their assistance I assure you God will also crown your effort with success.

This post is to give someone here a little boost because the stress's of being on campus is really weighing alot of students down these days coupled with the humongous bills they are throwing at us and some relationships that are hitting rock bottom all affecting one human I am here to assure you that at the end of it all we will all be fine and victorious.

I specially want to thank @Campusconnectng for their constant support to it's subscribers here on steemit it's a really big encouragement to us all I am really grateful.
