Discover Yourself
Success in life is all about discovering oneself. If you can discover yourself, find a niche and give your niche passion, then you are on the way to making it. Many young people especially in this part of the world complain of lack of money, inability to get their dream job and a catalogue of problems.
The problem with such youth is that they have not discovered why God created problems. Albert Einstein said: "God gives us brains so that we can sk questions." So, the reason why there is a problem is for man to bring about solution. Come to think of it. Alexander Graham Bell thought about communicating with his dumb parents before inventing the telephone; The Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright started mooting about providing an alternative to the means of transportation before 'birthing the idea of the airplane; Thomas Edison dreamed of having solution to the problem of electricity before inventingthe incandescent lamp also known as the light bulb; the idea of counting gave birth to Abacus, which has transformed into computer today.
A problem or challenge is just an opportunity to come about an invention. Look at the Nigerian environment for exam ple. There are about 20 million unemployed graduates. Some of them who had brimming dreams that when they leave the university or college one day that they would be engineeers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, bankers, etc,unfortunately have had their dreams thwarted by the current economic problems- they ended up becoming job-seekers.
This causes frustration as many of these youths blame the government, the society, the parents that gave birth to them, and even their creator. But they got it all wrong. If one will starts trading blams from now till eternity, one will have one trillions reason reasons to give and uncountable people to blame.
The solution is not in trading balmes; it is in creating laudable solutions to the myriads of problems.
The youths unemployemt have given room to a number of organizations and enterprise. Some of them are genuine while some are fake. One of them is Jobberman.
The progenitor of the idea have clearly sudied and understood the problem and then come about a solution. What about AfterSchool Graduate School by Adetoun Ugwo? This is another innovation to help youths come of their their present job predicament.
I am of the belief that the essence of university education is not to make the graduates job seekers. Imagine a graduate of Business Administration complaining of not laying hands on any job five years after graduation. If possible, one should ask the graduate what s/he has been able to do all hose years in college or university.
I think it is high time to start thinking outside the box. "Do not think of what your country can do for; think of what you can do for yourself."
So as from today, start looking inward. You can ask yourself this questions:
1. Who am I?
2. What do I have?
3. There is a purposse that I have been created on the earth, what is that particular purpose?
4. If I am having this present problem (like joblessnesss) what do I do (like creative ideas) to come out of this problem?
5. If I don't like the life I am living now, what can I do to better my living?
6. If I continue to live the way that I ma living now, will I become a succesful person in terms of material and financial wealth?
7. Am I living a fulfilled life. Or will what I ma doing life lead me to my goal and destination?
If you can answer these questions, then you are on the way to liberating yourself.
