How To Activate The Genius In You, by Daniel Adebayo highlights reasons why many graduates have not been able to use their acquired skills to enhance their personal lives.
It also focuses on:
How entrepreneurship education is key to personal and national development.
The causes and cure for mass failures in school examinations and what ideal education really is.
Education is derived from the Latin word “educo” meaning to educe, to draw out, to develop from within. In other words, education, either formal or informal is a process through which an individual’s potential is developed from within by the tool of positive information.
This is an ideal education. Experience has proven that the best-educated people are often those who study in line with their talents.
It takes more than a college degree to make one an educated person. Any person who is educated is one who has learned how to get whatever he wants in life without violating the rights of others.
In other words, the ability to think of solutions and its actualization is the real proof that one is truly educated.

Here are some takeaways from the text:
Mastery of self is the key to mastery of all disciplines, (vocation) because, in some way, specific vocation is present within us.
When education targets the developments of talents, it becomes a formidable weapon and a great asset for national development.
When you operate in areas of your strength you think well about yourself.
Quality leadership is best produced through the medium of quality and purposeful education.
There are genius seeds in everyone living or dead: Some grows theirs while some die with theirs.
The focus of the book is to reveal the true purpose of education in our lives and in society. Learning is a continuous adventure. When you stop learning you stop dying.
