Let me tell you a story about how i was able to top my class in a very tender age. My name for the record is Tuah Acheampong and i was a brilliant student in a school called Calvary Methodist Preparatory School. I could top my class there. But every thing changed when i moved to a town called Berekum. I now have to change schools and face a whole new set of people. My brilliance was no where to be found as i spent 1 year in my new school called World Of Friends. It wasnt easy as i couldnt settle for nothing below the best. I had the thought of attaining the best student in mind. It lingered around. I remembered it every time i was to pray. I remembered it when i was to eat. I remembered when i woke up right from bed and it was the last thing i could think about when retiring back to bed. My life was all about achieving that success.

Lo and behold, results from that terms academics came out. I wasnt the best but i was amongst the best. Funny how you were expecting to see me top the class. Sometimes we put in all the effort but things dont come in the exact way we anticipate them to. The following academic year, i was with the same notion. I studied twice as hard as the previous year and i emerged the best student. This is a story of how i basically thought myself through becoming the best student at an early age.

I had no prior encounter with the book and even the quotation but i utilised that phrase and it came to life. There is very little that man cannot do. With this imaginative seat in our heads, the only thing that can stop us from our achievements is nothing. If we truly want it, then we can make it be. Think your way through success and you will be successful.
