DOING THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME.




            In my previous post, I spoke on ways to spend your time wisely. Today, I'll talk about doing the right thing at the right time. I'm going to use this medium to relate to the youths of these days.
            Now when I say doing the right things at the right time, I'm talking about investing your time and strength at the right time. Youths of these days don't see the days of their youths as the time they should invest their time and strength but rather they see it as days that they're meant to enjoy their lives and do all sorts of things which are not meant to be.
            Starting early in life is an essential thing if you want to make it in life. Check out the successful men now: Bill Gates at the age of 23 was the head of his company, Mark Zuckerberg - 19 years old. Even the preachers started early: Bishop T.D Jakes preached his first sermon at age 19. Even in the bible, David killed Goliath at the age of 17. 
            These people that have been listed above, gave up the days of their youths to work, to invest their time and their strength. It is apparent that an old man of eighty years would struggle significantly pushing a wheelbarrow lading with goods compared to a man in his forties, even if it is not convenient for him (forty year old man) he would still have some strength in him to push it.
            If you start early, if you invest your time in the days of your youths, the mistake you'll make in those days will be easy for you to correct than when you grow older and there'll be enough time to cover up for your mistakes.

Thank you and see you next week Thursday.

CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR

I didn't fully understand this phrase "be careful what you ask for" till it happened to me. Preparing for my SIWES (Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme), I wanted a good place. An environment where I could learn and grow not just work... I was so sure that was what I wanted. I applied to various offices, checked for placements online, made enquiries from family and friends, even wrote an exam (on top SIWES 😂) and sent a lot of mails.  I eventually got a call to resume work as I had been accepted. Getting there, I realized they didn't directly offer the service I wanted to gain practical experience in, but they offered something similar which is still a plus. Now, this is where it began. Work officially started and this was nothing like what I planned or asked for. In the first week of resumption all SIWES interns were given a study plan that included courses we were expected to take within a period of time... yep, we had deadlines to meet. Plus, we still had ...

EXPOSURE CHANGES EXPECTATIONS

There are many things I've come to realize during the first half of this year, and I understand them much better because I've experienced them firsthand during my Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES). I remember there were many things that seemed very difficult, or almost impossible, when I was younger. Even from last year until now, my mindset has changed significantly. Not because those things have suddenly become easy, but because I'm currently in an environment where I see people strive for difficult things and eventually achieve them. They desire something, and they intentionally work towards it. I've heard some ladies say they wouldn't marry someone who lives in the same environment they grew up in because they don't want to raise their children there. While there are exceptions, I now understand the principle behind that mindset. Your environment influences your thinking, your expectations, and even what you believe is possible. I'm grat...

THE SILENT COST OF ASSUMPTIONS

After my first SIWES presentation, I learnt a vital lesson: confirmation gives better confidence than standing to defend what you only assume. So here’s the tea. Two weeks before the SIWES interns had their presentations, we were given the opportunity to watch two NYSC interns present. It was beautiful and impactful. After the presentation, I requested the document format from my supervisor, and he sent it to me. About a week before our own presentation, the HR in charge of training sent a document format for us to use as a guideline. The format was completely different from what my supervisor had sent, but I brushed it aside. I mean… it didn’t look like what the corps members used for their presentation. The day of the presentation came, and I used the format my supervisor sent. I wasn’t the only one who made this mistake. Others also used the same format because it looked similar to what we had seen earlier. Midway into my presentation, the company manager asked, “Is this the format ...
