Beyond Tomorrow: Fundamental Principles for Achieving Academic Excellence, was launched on 6 May 2009. This is a timely book, given the fact that 50% of students who enter institutions of higher learning in South Africa leave without qualifications. Beyond Tomorrow is specifically written for university and college students and those preparing to enter higher learning. This powerful but simply written book is authored by Wits Lecturer, medical scientist, poet and motivational speaker, Braimoh Bello and the foreword is by the former Minister of Education, Ms Naledi Pandor. Braimoh teaches GEMP students and postgraduate students in the School of Public Health.
Although many books have been written on how to achieve success in different facets of life, few have shown students how to strive for and achieve success in the form of academic excellence.
The author writes: ‘I wrote this book because of my own experience at university. Even though I studied under difficult conditions, I literally progressed from an average student who was on the verge of failure to a top student. Also, I realised that excellence does not belong to “geniuses”, it belongs to those who know and apply success principles. In fact, Albert Einstein, the most intelligent man of the last century was considered an “imbecile” at an early age.’ In this book, the author shares inspirations and practical principles that have helped him and many other students achieve excellence in their studies and life.
