Here are some of Kirubi’s take-home points for students.
• I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it.
• The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short. Don’t undervalue yourselves.
• Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.
• It is surprising how a man or a woman can do what he or she has to, and how little most men and women will do when they don’t have to.
• All men and women are the same, except for their belief in their own selves regardless of what others may think of them.
• The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well.
• Nothing can stop a man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal, while nothing on earth can help a man with the wrong attitude.
• Those people who fail are experts at making excuses. Victory belongs to the most persistent.
