WHAT ARE IN YOUR HANDS (PART 2)

 


Good day everyone. Happy new year in advance! We thank God for his mercy throughout this year.

            In the last post, I emphasized on definition 4, but today I will talk on definition 3. Definition 3 states that Hand is a person's power or control. In the last week, I asked you what your hands were doing and if it was affecting lives positively.

            Today I will be talking about the power or control your hand carries. What I want us to understand now is that power has levels so does control. The level of power you have determines the amount of control you have. And if you have the power are you going to use it in a positive manner?

            Now linking 'What are in your hands (PART 1) and this topic together. Until when you have played an active role on the face of the earth, until when you have started making preparations towards your future you cannot know what area to play in and when you don't an area, what chances do you stand of having power let alone control.

            Take a look at this scenario, A YouTuber Ryan Kaji, a boy of nine years old releases a new video on his channel everyday and also started at a very early age. He started at the age of four years and now he is the highest paid YouTuber with $29.5 million and has 27.2 million subscribers and was also a cast of Nickelodeon's TV series 'Ryan's Mystery Playdate'.

            Some like him doesn't need to work again. I mean a boy of nine years old earning $29.5 million alone on YouTube even at this age what does he need the money for? Meanwhile people of his age are still in their rooms resting and relaxing, playing with toys and video games, relying on their parents for pocket money but he has made a mark on YouTube.

            The point I want to make here is that he didn't just wake up one morning and 'Voila!' he became the highest paid YouTuber. No! He worked to achieve his goal. He played active roles with his talents in a positive way also he started early. Can you compare the level of power or control he has to a boy of his age. It can't be possible, they cannot be on the same level because of the power that position has brought him.

            As we move into this new year, I want us to apply 'What are in your hands (PART 1)' and this topic together. If you can achieve this I tell you that you will be surprised when you get to your goal. Don't lose track of your goal in this coming year.

Thank you and see you in the new year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE!!!

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 ...
