Changes and differences

There is this saying "If you keep doing something the same way everytime, you can't get a different result except you change them"

What does this mean? When you don't change your way or method of doing things, don't expect to get a different result as the one you have been getting before. Doing things in the same way and in the same method as before does not change the outcome. If you expect a different result from what you have been seeing before, then you need to change your way of doing things.

Back in those days, in the field of education, tertiary institutions to be precise, I learnt examinations are done once in a year, not as we have it now with two semesters in a session two examinations. That time, once a student fails that single exam, such student is advised to withdraw. These new ways have given many students more opportunities to pass exams with the use of continuous assessment, assignment, and Exams, students have chances to score more marks. Courses failed by students can be carried over to another semester or year and repeated. Changing to the course system of examination has given student better result.

In my tribe, the traditional way of dressing includes "buba" "sọrọ" "agbada" and some others. All these dresses are heavy, and voluminous. It encourages sluggishness especially in the work place, but the new and modern way of dressing brings smartness and it's simple.
