Dr.Mohammed Musa W. Kirfi and Mahmud Maishanu Lawal

This paper was initially presented at a students’ event in the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria in order to remind them (students) on the need to package themselves as well as the University for Greater Prosperity. The paper using essentially existing literature got inspired by Shiv Khera and Steven R. Covey. The books “you can win” and “the 8 th habit” have been of help and inspiration as antidotes to most of our problem of not believing in ourselves expression in our inability to interact due to lack of confidence and well constructed personality. The paper concludes that where we comply with the prescriptions of the books as indicated, we stand the chances of rising to prominence and excelling even beyond the ordinary thereby making Usmanu Danfodiyo University being able to consolidate its position as a leader in the education sector. Correspondingly, we must perceive, assess and evaluate ourselves constructively for us to establish the ground the use of which not only amplifies our personality but consolidates our appearance as major operations in the definition of good behavior
