ARE YOU A UNIVERSITY STUDENT?
At school, you are TAUGHT. Now you are exploring the select
level where you will not be taught but must LEARN.
It is not the lecturers' task to motivate and teach you. If
you need love go elsewhere. If you need motivating you are
unfitted. If you need teaching you lack the require ability.
If you are accepted your lecturer and the university will
offer you means to learn and to develop your abilities. They
will help you to do so but YOU must be do the work. It is your
future not THEIRS which you will be building.
Nor is higher education an excuse for postponing your
acceptance of responsibility. It is a costly privilege offered
to you. It is also a challenge. If you are unequal to it, do
something else and make room for some who is.
But if you are EQUAL to do it, take a deep breath, select
well, plunge in, and GOOD LUCK.
- Prof. J C N Westwood.
