Compass on Campus: The Interview

By

 




Below is the conversation I had with Mr. Chucks on The Reality show featured on the Fiction TV Station. It is important to note that both parties involved in the conversation reached an agreement before this conversation was published online. 

The main purpose of this article is to answer some of the questions students might have for the author of Compass on Campus.

(The beginning)

Interviewer: Welcome once again to today’s episode of The Reality Show. Our guest today is Femi Adebowale, popularly known as Afemsonic. He is a graduate of the University of Ibadan, where he studied Industry chemistry. He also renders content writing and copywriting services to both students and businesses. He has something interesting to share with us today. Afemsonic, you can have the floor.


Afemsonic: Thank you for having me on the show today. My greetings to everyone listening or watching us, whether at home or at work. As mentioned earlier, I am Femi Adebowale, popularly known as Afemsonic, and I am here to share some secrets from my book with you today. The book is titled Compass on Campus. This is a book written for three categories of students: aspirants, undergraduates, and graduates. Just like a compass, the book serves as a personal guide that directs students on the right track, ensuring they are successful both academically and financially. It is a must-read for every student who doesn’t want to graduate and join the job-seekers’ club.


Interviewer: That was a wonderful intro. Can you share what inspired you to write this book?


Afemsonic: My inspiration stemmed from my experiences during my days on campus. I discovered that the most difficult level for many students is usually their first year. This is because, at that stage, most students are still trying to learn how things work. They apply the old studying tactics they used in high school to the university, and they soon discover that these methods don’t work.


My second lightbulb moment was when I realized that the number of graduates each year exceeds what existing industries can employ. The result is mass unemployment. To address this, I explained in the book how graduates can become their own boss and sole determiner of how much they earn.


Interviewer: Fantastic! I remember that at the beginning of this show you said you have some secrets to share with us. Can we hear them now?


Afemsonic: Oh yes, that is the main reason I am here. I will be sharing a secret from Chapter 3 of my book. I call the theme "Discovering the Genius in You." Think about the high achievers we know in the entertainment industry today, whether in sports, theatre, or music. What do you think they have in common? The likes of Victor Osimhen, Lionel Messi, Lee Min Ho, Ramsey Nouah, Funke Akindele, Wizkid, and Tiwa Savage all discovered what they were good at from an early age and kept developing that talent until they could monetize it. These individuals were bold enough to deviate from the conventional path of going to school and seeking jobs afterward. This common thread can be observed across other industries too.


While not everyone can end up in the entertainment industry, we all have a talent unique to us that can change our lives if we develop it to its fullest potential. Some individuals are very good at resolving conflicts (potential international mediators), some have a persuasive way of speaking that can sell a comb to a bald man (potential marketers or copywriters), some are great observers who can predict future trends with the necessary data (potential futurists and business analysts), some have a way of narrating stories that keep you glued to your seat until the end (potential novelists, scriptwriters, and filmmakers), some can talk for hours without getting tired and still make sense (potential keynote speakers), and some can break down the most complex topics (like calculus) to a level a 5-year-old can understand (potential online educators). The issue is that most people share their talents for free and have never thought of a way to monetize them. So, you need to ask yourself, what is my hidden genius and how can I monetize it?


Interviewer: That question prompts me to ask you this: While some people's talents are obvious, some don’t really know theirs. What can they do?


Afemsonic: Yes, that is possible. They can ask a few people close to them what they think they are good at. There are also online tools that make this easy; one of these is 16 Personalities. On this platform, you will be asked a few questions that, when answered honestly, will reveal your areas of strength and help you understand yourself better. The platform also has a forum where you can ask questions and get good answers.


While finding your hidden genius is the first step on the journey to success, the remaining steps are covered in detail in my book, Compass on Campus, which can be purchased via the link on the screen (https://selar.co/2s6123). The book preview is available at https://bit.ly/previewCOC.


Interviewer: So, dear viewers, I hope you’ve found today’s episode insightful and inspiring. A heartfelt thank you to our esteemed guest, our dedicated viewers, and the amazing team behind the scenes who made this show possible. I will love to see you in the next episode. Until then, take care and stay safe.

(The End)

Alas, it was a dream. But I am glad the message has been passed across.

WHY STUDENTS FAIL

  Failure is a report given by life that shows us something has been omitted or done wrongly. As it is possible to move from a series of failures into a jaw-dropping success, it is also possible to have a great failure after rising to a great height in life. This post is for you whether you are in college, a jambite, or a freshman on campus who wants preventive measures for failure or wants to put an end to it. Below are some of the reasons why students fail: 1. Not Studying the right materials For every subject or course, there is always a recommended textbook on it from which teachers or lecturers do draft their notes. These materials are expected to be used by students as supplements to the notes written in class since the materials tend to give a thorough explanation of each topic. Failure to do this can make a student perform poorly. College students who need materials on Maths, English, and science-related subjects can get them here . I'll keep updating the list. For past q...

Introducing 5 Easy Steps to BECOME A STRAIGHT-A STUDENT: Separating the Truth from the myths.

By

  Till today, there have been so many myths about the personality of 'A'-students or students with a First class grade point. Some of the myths(which I believe you are familiar with) include: "They are lucky and naturally gifted" "They are fast learners" "They study for very long (some say for shorter) hours" "They had the best tutors from childhood" "All that they do at every moment is reading." Isn't it funny enough that a lot of people still have this notion about A-students whenever they are mentioned? Meanwhile, after conducting a case study on A-students I was surprised by the discovery I made. 1.  Not all A-students are fast learners, but they understand themselves better: A-students tend to know what works for them most and what doesn't. They know the best time suitable for their study; the perfect environment that supports their understanding; the kind of meal (especially dinner) to take when planning to study ...
