THE IMPACT OF DESIRE


          Hello everyone, happy new month. We thank God for His never ending mercies over our lives. I also want to appreciate everyone that has been following me on my blog since last year. Thank you all so much.

          For this topic, I will be putting more emphasis on HOPE and DESIRE. Hope is a desire for something, with some confidence or expectation of success.

   -CHAMBERS 21st CENTURY DICTIONARY.

          From the definition above, hope comes with a desire. A strong desire propels manifestation of what your mind conceives. Be it an adventure, educational pursuit, goal, aspiration and so on. Your desire towards a thing has the strength to determine if it is going to be a success or not. In my words,I will say that desire is an urge that propels us to accomplish necessary things in our everyday lives. Our desire for success and accomplishments in our careers, businesses, groups and academics and our everyday lives comes before we can catch a glimpse of hope in accomplishing a thing.

          If a man says that he has hope but has no desire to accomplish what he hopes for, then he is only joking. It is desire that prompts a man to walk in the path of his aspiration; otherwise, hope without a push is a journey that ultimately leads to frustration. Things do not happen by mere hoping; your hope has to be supported by a strong desire. A strong desire in the sense that your desire is so strong to the extent of overcoming temptations on the way to your success. Many people have allowed their desires and hope to be cut off because of a certain difficult temptation.

          Every achiever overcame certain challenges to attain a level of success. Many dreams have been cut short because challenges arose along the way. The power of desire conquers every limitation and sets your eyes on success and whatever you want to accomplish I want to encourage you today to realise that being productive in life is a proof of your desire to rise above all your difficulties and challenges.

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 ...
