Let's make something clear,"students think".
Infact,students think a lot,about money,about drinks,about parties,about
the opposite sex and so on but most importantly students think about
their about lives after school,which is good,the bad about it is that
its majorly unrealistic thoughts like "hey,am finally in 100 level
studying economics in kogi state university,and I'll graduate in 4 years
time,then go and serve,probably do some phd and masters thingy then get
a job and the rest money". That's so unrealistic that its makes wwe
wrestling is more real. Its plain garbage thought you need to start
getting out of your head. This life isn't hollywood,and when you're born
into one hell of a country like Nigeria you need to wise up and start
thinking with your "brain".
If you can take your time and look outside your window to see millions
of graduates roaming about the streets you'll probably understand that
its not as easy as you think it is,if it was that easy your parents and
your friends parents and all parents in nigeria will be multi
billionaires,not needing to send you to school self.
Life isn't easy,and nigeria is making life even harder for nigerians,the
labour market is so choked up,it will take extra power for an angel to
pass through. There is hardship in every corner of the country and the
earlier you realise this things,the better for you.
So instead partying and smiling all around school why don't you sit
yourself down and not only think logically but also plan logically. This
topics might get you onto the right path:
- First and foremost you need to realise you only have one life to
live,every circumstance you find yourself will most definitely come
once,you don't go to primary school twice,well,except you're going there
the second time to teach or something. My point is,in every situation
you find yourself you have to try hard in making the best outta that situation,if you don't succeed its okay,atleast you
tried.
- Ask yourself questions,like why are they few rich people in the
country,what can I do to get there,what are my potentials,what are my
weaknesses. You have tons of questions you should start asking yourself.
- You need to start tasking yourself. Are too young to make money ?? I
mean,they are loads of unemployed graduate out there who still depend on
their parents. I know you don't want to belong in that category when
you're done with school. You need to know what you have to do to make
that money so you'll only have to depend on yourself alone. God has
given you a talent,why don't you discover it and start using it to make
money now. Their are tons of things you can do as an undergraduate that
can cough out money for you,you just need to think and plan on how to
strike a balance between your academics and what you're doing. Its not
how petty the job is or how little you're earning. Its about knowing for
a fact that you can do something to improve your situation. A lot of
ond,hnd, bsc,phd holders out there(those certs are a common thing
nowadays),some even have all those certs with them at the moment but
have nothing to show for it because they failed to realise that school
is not about learning on how to work for a boss,its also about how to
develop yourself to being your own boss.
- You need to stop thinking about your future and know that the future
you are thinking of is "NOW". You have to start thinking and planing
logically from now on.
- You need to start encouraging yourself to do things that'll make you
big. Forget where you are now,it doesn't matter,its where you're going
to be when its all said and done that matters. Forget the fact that you
stay in dagana or you stay in one shady place around ksu,and your fellow
mates stay in billionaires lodge or exquisite lodge(its probably not
their money anyways),it doesn't matter,what matters is you
formulating a plan that will change your situation when four years is
done and dusted.
- All in all you have to think of doing only what's necessary to get
that money,not whats good or bad,not something people like or what they
don't like,not what brings shame to you or doesn't bring shame to
you,you don't have to care what people think about you,cause at the end
of it all its you and only you that matters. Remember,doing whats good
or bad set people apart from eachother,but doing what's necessary sets
people above their equals. Noboday remembers the disgusting or not
disgusting things dangote has done in the past,cause it was necessary to
get him to where he is now,"the richest man in africa".
"D difference between possession and ownership;when a person is sweating
under the sun selling handkerchiefs and can't take one of it to clean
his face,but then goes home with enough money to buy himself a mansion
full of handkerchiefs"
