      Make Hay - Tolani M. Tijani

      Man"

      Preface

      I have two quotes that change my life forever. First is, if you want to change people don’t tell them – just be the change you want to see in them. The second is, those who are embarking on a journey should ask their ways from those who have returned from the same journey – history of a man is open book for another man. This book is the summary of the two quotes.

      As a writer and counselor, I look around me and see challenges that the world is facing. I see why parents are failing in their responsibilities. I see where teachers fail and most importantly, where students derail and fail. 

      I have done lots of findings to know why? This book is the result of my findings.

      I understand that a man is made beginning by nature which you and I have no control over. This book details what researchers and scientists have used to cheat nature and make things work for those who have been unflavoured by the genes.

      I understand also, that our lives depend so much on the environment we find ourselves as children and adults. This book helps you understand this environment and use it to your advantage if you think you’ve been cheated by your family and education background.

      Perhaps you’ve read something like this before. I assure you – this is not, in any way, what you’ve read. Every guides, suggestions and recommendations are practical, possible and application anywhere in the world. Most importantly – they are FREE ways to build a man.

      This book targets three people – parents (or guardians), teachers and students. Parents will need this book to build a man or woman that they want to see in the future. Teachers will need it as a guide build the students they want (and be remembered them for). Students will need this book as a role model.

      It’s a summary of lives of the successful world leaders and its author – who had emerged from one of the cruelest worlds.

      Two Things Make Us

      At elementary level, a child may fortunately be intelligent or unfortunately poor. Either way, we generally conclude that such a child might have inherited it from either parents or both. This becomes more conclusive if we have knowledge of his or her parents’ academic or intellectual abilities. Interestingly, we can be right!

      In reality, limitation in child’s academic efficiency can be traced to genetics, for science has unveiled that genes of either of the parents usually affect a child’s academic response. Environmental factors such as schools and families can be more significant in a child’s intelligence; as equally revealed by scientific findings.

      Gene and Environment

      A gene is the unit of heredity by which a biological trait is passed down through generations of human beings. Heritability describes what percentage of the variation of a trait in a population is due to genetic differences in that population (as opposed to environmental factors).

      Science is more certain about traits like eye color, which are highly heritable and can be easily traced to parents and generations. However, even highly heritable traits are subject to environmental influences during development.

      Intelligence is generally considered to be more complicated to be traced to one source because it is a polygenic trait, influenced by many interacting genes. This is why scientists are yet to pinpoint specific gene. A recent work published in the Journal of Scientific Reports, suggests that the same genes are involved across subjects.

      To complement this position, Robert Plomin, a professor of Genetics at King’s College London and the study’s senior author said, We found that, academic achievement in English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Second languages and Art were all affected by the same genes. People may think that they’re good at one subject and bad at another, but in reality most people are strikingly consistent.

      In support of this, the study above concluded that, Results in all subjects, including Maths, Science, art and humanities, were highly heritable, with genes explaining a bigger proportion of the differences between children (54-65%) than environmental factors, such as school and family combined (14-21%)...

      Parents and Environment

      Though I deserved to be the class captain from primary to secondary schools - because I worked hard for it, yet I concluded that I had been blessed with genetics of dad's intelligence and mum's industry.

      Dad has passed on, before mum remarried. But she never seems to ever forget his wisdom. Mum never told stories of parties
