STAY FRESH

My advice to graduates: You can’t eat your certificates. Knowledge can become stale. Therefore, stay fresh. When you graduate today, and stop learning tomorrow, you’d become an illiterate the next day. There are many graduates who, for all practical intents and purposes, are functional illiterates. Don’t increase the population of this uneducated class. Don't’ be an illiterate grad. There’s never an end to learning, unlearning, and relearning. Constantly grow in knowledge—both in your field of study and in your spiritual pursuits. Even the all-knowing “Jesus GREW in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52). He kept learning. Illiterate grads drink from the stagnant pond, but the truly educated draw from the running stream. Stay fresh. Keep growing and learning. Always!—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim
