How to Think as University Student Martin Petro Mandalu

The book presents and discusses findings from various studies carried out in Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa which reveal that many university graduates fail to secure employment opportunities due to lack of important skills that are not taught in most universities in the continent. The briefly detailed systematic history of Western universities, which influence greatly African universities, reveal that the failure of graduates to attain their dream jobs is caused by the founding purposes of the said higher learning institutions. Universities were established to train individuals to work in specific careers only. The book discloses that most universities neither teach students how to discover the potential in them, nor do they teach them how to create what students are or could be capable of. How To Think As University Student discusses how to use important skills that would reveal to students the unimaginable wealth found in them or the power they have to create it. The book enlightens you on how to think independently, logically, critically, strategically, creatively, positively, in systems and be able to create your true purpose in life. Lastly the book looks at purpose of life which is the reason of you being alive; it is the essence of being in existence for you. It is the raison d'être of you being in the world. It is that which you need to do. That means each and every human person including you is here on earth for a specific purpose. Every individual is unique and thus his/her raison d'être is also unique different from everybody else's. The task before you is to know what your purpose in life is. Even as you are breathing right now within you there is a purpose for you being alive; you may or may not know about it, all the same there is still a purpose for you being there. What is that purpose? That is your life time task which if you want to live a meaningful life then you should create it and live it before you die.
