“There are a number of principles to success. Time management, if you know how to use your time, then you know that success is knocking on your door,” she added.
While delivering her keynote speech at the 6th graduation ceremony of the University of Kisubi on Saturday, the prime minister urged students to have a positive attitude towards work and not to be limited by the certificates they have acquired.
“The other is the number and type of people you surround yourself with matters a lot. You need to have the right choice for your peers. The other thing is the lifestyle, especially the way you handle yourself. I want you to remember that we still have HIV/AIDs,’’ she said.
