BOOKS EVERY STUDENT MUST READ BEFORE GRADUATING.


According to the late Myles Munroe, a man's worth is measured by the amount of books he reads. Ask a typical student how many books he has read aside the prescribed course material and the answer you will get is NONE! and you will be like; " in this 21st century?". Well that's life for you. Reading your course materia is a good idea but also making use of books that would challenge you is a better idea. As such, I have compiled a list of some books I think every student should go through before graduation and if you are a graduate and hasn't gone through some of them, I urge you to do because it is better late then never.
1. PUBLIC SPEAKING BY DALE CARNEGIE: one of the reasons we go to school is to shapen our way of life. It saddden my heart that we still have graduates who don't know the art of public speaking. This book is a vital too in increasing your efficiency and fluencing in public speaking.

2. THE ART OF HAPPINESS BY THE DALAI LAMA: happiness is determined by more of one's state of mind than external events.this book can help you learn and understand how to attain fulfilment and start feeling happy in your life.

3. THINK BIG BY BEN CARSON: hmmm! This is actually my favourite. Just as the name implies, it challenges you to think outside the box.

4. A MIND FOR NUMBERS BY BARBARA OAKLEY: don't let the title deceive you, this book teaches you how to excel at what you do. It teaches you how to learn.

5. THIS SIDE OF PARADISE BY F. SCOTT FITZGERALD: this book shows how a student became totally disillusional upon graduation and finding out that life was actually different from what he had thought it to be while in school. There are lessons to be learnt from this book.

6. SUCCESS SYSTEM BY DAVID OYEDEPO: i actually came across this one with my elder brother and i tell you; reading it is worth it IF you want good success.

7. THINK AND GROW RICH BY NAPOLEON HILL: this is actually a treasure if you ask me.i don' t want to bore you with long stories, just read it and find out for yourself as the taste of the pudding is in the eating.

8. UNDERSTANDING YOUR POTENTIAL BY MYLES MUNROE: I refuse to talk much on this as the title speaks volume of itself.

9. THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON BY GEORGE SAMUEL CLASON:this book is for those who needs 'rhema' on how to be a successful entrepreneur.

10. WHY YOU ACT THE WAY YOU DO BY TIM LAHAYE: every student should know more about his temperament and how to control it. This is a great tool for that.
 The above are just my opinion, you can do better by telling us any one you feel should be on the list.
