Things I wished I had done before my 30s: Maximising Your 20s

-

Growing into the early age of your 20s can be the period of your life when your energy is at its peak. You most often than not aspire to go beyond the Rubicon. For me, it was the period when I was zealous towards any and everything that crossed my path. I was voraciously consuming all the books I could lay my hands on at this period since I have a great knack for studying. As good as all of what I gave my youthful age to was then, I failed to channel my energy to what I am discovering now that I am in my early 30s. This piece shall be a guide to many who are seeking to maximize their age 20s.

I will as a matter of great importance, suggest that you give yourself wholly to "BUILDING".

Yes! You got me right. Build.

What to build in your 20s:

~Build Capacity.

~Build Enterprise.

~Build Others.

~Build Relationships 

In building capacity, I will urge you my reader to hinge on permitting your mind to run in the direction of knowing and learning. Let this sprout in Skill acquisition, studying to add to knowledge; training and attending workshops, seminars, conferences, summits and other endeavours to expand your horizons. And if you can, give yourself also to volunteering, for in doing so, you will harness your latent potential.

In building Enterprise, let your focus be given to setting up streams of income. I am sure you will be thinking, am I not too young to own a business. No! You are never too young to own an enterprise. You could have a station, mobile, or other means of generating monies legitimately. You could be a sole proprietor, you can be involved in partnerships, and any other acumen you may wish to explore.

Building Others: let this be more of pouring out or emptying yourself for the good of others. It can be in form of impacting and imparting on others. Make sure no knowledge, values, exposure or experience is left without being extended and expressed for the common good of the human race. When you teach others what you already know, it expands.

Build Relationships: let this be a double edge sword, with one cutting into the depth of building both qualitative and quantitative networks of friends and acquaintances. The other shall be for pruning and developing a marriage-focused relationship.

To achieve these; you have to be intentional. You have to be focused. You have to be consistent.

Endeavour also to Pray. Study. Seek counsel. Engage in profitable activities. And be on the lookout to reap from your harvest.

Till I come your way next time. Keep chewing on those.

Secret of Success: Learning, Unlearning, and Relearning

Secret of Success: Learning, Unlearning and Relearning "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." These were the words of Alvin Toffler, an American writer, futurist, and businessman. Your success in any sphere of life is dependent on what you know about that particular thing. The famous English comic writer, Alan Moore says "knowledge like air is vital to life, like air no one should deny it." Knowledge is the facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It is also the familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is a product of learning. Learning is a continuous process of life that never ends. Sociologists argue that human beings evolve from biological beings to social beings through the process of learning and interaction. Knowledge is

Change: A weapon for surviving the pandemic effects

-
Change is so pervasive in our lives that it almost defeats description and analysis. It's a common word and phenomenon that defies our attempts to stop or control it. On the other hand, it is also extremely implausible to deny the existence of change as one of the denominator of life. In Economics, change is a term synonymous to variables that vary and change from time; in historical parlance, change is subject to events of the past, present and future; in philosophical understanding, change can be akin to Heraclitus speculation that everything is constantly shifting, changing, and becoming something other to what it was before; in sociological review, change is seen from the lens of what sociologist consider as social change; in politics, we can talk on change based on tenure; under scientific consideration, change has to do basically with objects and the dynamics that surrounds those objects; one could go on and on, but the gist is clear that change is a constant factor of life

THE AFRICA WE WANT

THE AFRICA WE WANT Ozemhoya Donatus I. I INTRODUCTION Vis-à-vis the African continent, there is no other continent, world-over, that the benevolence of providence has been so superfluous to. Viewing the continent from the area of solid natural resources, one discovers that Africa is home to a large deposits of Cocoa, Ivory, Gold, Crude Oil, et cetera, which are all needed in high quantities by the Northern Divide, of the global economic order, if it must flourish. Furthermore, from the area of human resource, the continent plays host to the largest numbers of youth in the world, thus setting it on the vantage of productivity with regards to labor-force. Against this backdrop, Africa should be the greatest place on the planet  Earth. However, this supposed greatness has incessantly strode the elusion path as Africa and Africans have been often categorized with the most undeserving class (Third World Countries) within the global comity of states. This brings to mind the big qu
