You go out there and succeed. Success is earned, no one will hand success to you.  You have to take success.  The University has equipped you with all that it takes to succeed, so you go out there and sell your knowledge to the real world. Just remember that the world loves a winner but you must try as Jimmy Cliff sang “You can get it if you really want… but you must try, try and try ...you succeed at last” Igbo ekulie.
