Yourself

It is true. You should thank those who say 'No' to you, for they only teach you how to do it yourself. Being conditioned to think you always have someone to help you out does more harm than good. It doesn't only weaken your cerebral capacity to think, diminish your creativity but it also ensures the inferiority complex. I reached out a reckoned force on Twitter for an answer to a question that has bothered me. Waited for days but got no reply from him to the reason best known to him. I know the hard feeling and worrying about it won't provide me the needed answers, thus I quickly form a partnership with the search engine. Our partnership was wow. Got more than what I expected/wanted. I was thought struck and said to myself, even if the Twitter guy had answered my question, he could not have given a more detailed answer than what my online pal did. But you will wonder, why I didn't use the search engine in the first place; this leads to another harm of dep...

Hustle

-

It is not enough that someone is a doctor… We tell them to hustle. So they collaborate with merchants and sell your son’s kidney when he comes for a check-up. It is not enough that someone is a teacher… We shame them for earning a certain amount. So they intentionally deny your children a good education in the classroom, so that YOU can pay for private lessons and they (teachers) can make more money. It is not enough that he is your employee… You indirectly scoff at the idea of working-for-others, so these people steal from you… Because you are an asshole. It is not enough that you are a football coach… The culture of “hustle oo” in third-world countries will get to you and you ignore the ethics of your industry and ask for a bribe. It is not enough that you are a politician… Nigerians will mock you for driving a Peugeot, so you will do as others do: steal a billion naira and buy a yacht. It is not enough to be YOU in third-world societies… ...

Value

Remember the movie, 3 Idiots, right? It is still one of my all-time favourite movies globally, not just Bollywood. I doubt if it isn't yours too. Also try to recall that the main character, our very own Ranchoddas "Rancho" Shamaldas Chanchad left us with this profound statement that has changed perspectives. He said, “Pursue excellence, and success will follow, pants down!” The foregoing brings us here. First, about the misnomer of the word, success. Success is subjective but societally defined to only be the fatness of one's bank account. This is probably one of the biggest traps that people fall into. That is why people are in the rat race of making money either by hook or by crook. Success is not just in the amount of money you've made, it is in your degree of value and kindness. And your value is the worth of the problem you can solve and the difficulty of finding a suitable replacement for you.  Incidentally, nobody has become successful by pursuing it, becau...

Obstacles

Obstacles are put in our way to see if what we want is worth fighting for. Obstacles are the tests of your goal and focus. The obstacle doesn't build you, it reveals you and your interest. However, many people fail because they focus on their obstacles. We fail not because of loss of purpose but because of the loss value of our goal. We fail when our goal is not the primary focus of our devotion. In the word of Henry Ford, "Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal". When our focus is full of obstacles, our mouth is full of excuses. Excuses are disoriented confessions. The confession that doesn't align with the originality of goals. Spending your today complaining about yesterday won't make tomorrow better. Ever wondered why some people can spend 7-9 years pursuing admission after Medicine, it is because they don't see their growing age, classmates, repeating Jamb as an obstacle, what they see, rather, is the end in perspective.
