Go the extra mile!
Make the most out of your student years.
Learning is more than studying textbooks or memorising facts or formulas.
You learn by doing, by drawing lessons from experience, from the interaction with fellow academic students.
Learning means improving yourself, constantly. It started the day you were born and reaches its peak at your age.
So use your time well. Go the extra mile!
