I place this advice right in front of you to always be who you are, remember the child of who you are and what you have for the world. The mindset of the crown might be different from what you have in your mind.

The crowd may tend towards.
💠 bribery and corruption
💠examination malpractice
💠 lost for material things
💠less concern about studies and prayer etc
Of course, this are the order of the day, especially to students. If you follow them you will see your self doing without knowing how it started. Never follow the crowd, in what sense? I mean you should be willing and able to stand on your own knowing what is good and what is bad. Be able to diffrentiate them and know the kind of company you keep. Bad companies are number one killer of dreams and sound mind like yours. Mind yourself and people you claim as friends. Dont ever keep the company that will lead you to trouble, making you useless and distracted. Not allowing you to have time for God which is the paramount thing to consider first in one's life.
In our world today fashion has taken the lead, girls compete with their fellow girls just for things like cloth, shoes, jewelries, etc which result in so many things like;
💠 Stealing and prostitution
💠 Victim of disease like HIV and AIDS
💠 Pre-marital sex
💠 Unwanted pregnancy
It is the companion you keep that will lead you to these, be a master of yourself and know what is good for you, dont keep companion that will lead you to doom but companion that their impact in your life will be seeing in the outward realization of your goals.
According to RALPH WALDO EMERSON; The glory of frienship is not in the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiriration that comes to one when he discovers that some one else belieaves in him and is willing to trust him"

As said earlier, always remember the child of who you are, consider your background, where you came out from and what you left there at home. In this life all fingers are not equal so two people's personality differs. There is a saying that people should learn to cut their cloth according to the material of thier cloth. Don't ever think of being like a rich persons child when you know your background. Make friends with good people so that you will not be distracted in life, pursue your goal and always belief that you can make it. Don't ever allow the company you keep to be an obstacle to your success. The Scripture says " If your right hand lead you to sin cut it off. It is better for you to be one handed and enter the kingdom of God than to use to hands to hell fire.
In refrence to this, I tell you that it is better for you to be alone, friendless and achieve what you want in this life, discover your talent and make good use of it. Here LEO BUSCAGLIA Says "your talent is god's gift to you, what you do with it is your gift back to God.
Obviously we shall die but what good legacy will you leave behind? Your body body will be buried in peace; will your memory leave live through generation? THAT OF THAT. Always know that if you set up people the road to the actualization of your dream will not be smooth, and at the end of the day you bite your finger in regret.
The crown will always be PESIMISTIC never follow them, be a master of your self and be OPTIMISTIC. Try always to stand out from the crowd.

I will never follow the crowd
Following the crowd is an age long mistake people keep making because of lack of focus and confidence in themselves
We keep learning everyday. Keep it up!
