to the Kenyatta University Computer Engineers( hope outlives)

This plannet has seen great people live, Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier was a great man, Albert Einstein was a great man, many great people still live. Now I am not in a history class but I have to use history to drive very important points home, I mean home into my brothers and sisters heads, the community looks at us as confused people, people who do not understand what is going on, people who do not know what exactly they are to be doing , I mean some people in the society I mean the society of the students think that you are to be in college for two years and got get employed.

Now to all my Engineers that is not true, history has it for sure that great people live very controversial lives, example: when Fourier wrote his paper on the great subject of signals that later gave him too much fame , the fame that outlived him, the great man of the time in France science refused to publish that paper, it is in history that Lagrage and Laplace refused to publish Fourier's paper, infact they say that it was only after one of these guys died that the paper saw publication, dont you think that is conroversy.
There is a rumour that says Albert Einstein never completed his secondary education, he had
to quit when his family moved from Germany.
What am putting across is the fact that life is not like the classical laws that people of this plannet think they are the norms and they must be obeyed. Life has got no constitution, if you destiny is around you, not visible to you, it is not visible to your neighbour nor is it to your best friend but it is there all the same. You just have to do your best , keep trying no matter how many times you may fail.
When Steve Jobs quit college , he did not know what he was destined for , neither other people know, people saw him as a failure, that is how society is, it sets norms and even calls some of them constitution to govern but that itself doesnt guarantee anything, the uncertainity that defines our lives exists in all times today and beyond. Focus must remain.
It is not heroism or great to be in college for two years and go get paid some few coins with extreme harassment at all times like that is the life you were to live, just imagine in our country, how much does a nursey dropout earn? it is less, what about a class eight dropo?t less too and a form four drop out less again, if all goes normally, then this guy who leaves after two years will earn less that the "professional student". We are going to research , stay with college experience in which you understand that you need not have a man sitting on your head saying he is your boss to actually survive, destiny is God made, he manufactures it and inserts it into that module that defines the Engineer's life, it has to remain invicible because it is inside, always stay real, do your best and when that morning comes, you definitely will glow , it wont matter when the head of your church will be, it wont matter which village you will be in , constituency, clan, tribe , race , age and anything, you will be guarnateed to thrive.
They say reallity is fake, short term vision is cursed, and no vision drawns man , keep trying if you wake up feeling great make that important step in the great direction, your creater will be there to oversee all the important and fulfilling decisions that you make.
Keep trying coz after it is all done you will be a greater person.
