*Young people are still preparing themselves for a world that no longer exists*

Well, I will explain more.

Now, there was a world where a secondary school graduate( as of then was Standard Six) is already sure of a good job.

I remember how my mum used to tell me that if she had finished Standard Six, she could have had the opportunity of going outside the country. She also showed me some of her mates who were able to get to standard six and these people had good jobs and were regarded as the elites in my place because they had money (thou not rich but we're okay and comfortable).

And if you manage to get to a certain level accidentally, woow jobs were already waiting for you. That world continued, so the system of going to school, get good grades and get a good job was the main thing because the jobs were there.

As time passes, another world began to emerge. The few individuals that we're able to grab it became successful while the majority still follow the GLODEN RULES, in Rice Dad and poor Dad called it (Rat Race).

Our parents up till now still tell us to go to school so we can get a good job. The individual at the university level is reading so hard so he can graduate and get a good job. Some even go as far as bribing and sleeping with lecturers.

Those in secondary schools are still preparing themselves for the same system. Now you see where I was driving? Young people are still preparing themselves for a world that no longer exists.

Because of this orientation, we have had since childhood,

* it has affected a lot of things, a high level of corruption because everyone wants to come out with good grades so that he/she can get a good job.

* Our level of creativity is low because we all are reasoning the same thing except a few who were able to develop themselves and change their mentality.

* It has hindered innovations and inventions because we have limited our thinking and creativity to just getting a good job.

* It has increased the level of corruption in our nation because everyone is fighting for the same thing, so we are ready to bribe our way in.

The simple solution is "Re-orientation" 

The mindset that we grow up with has to be changed.

* A new orientation of why we should go to school

* A new orientation of why we should take our study serious

* A new orientation of why we should come out with good grades( not really because to get a good job)

This will reduce the level of corruption in the school system and as a nation.

Innovation will start coming out because those in secondary school will no longer see going to school just to graduate and get a job rather they will see it as an opportunity to develop themselves more to be able to create and build that amazing idea.

Corruption will reduce because people are no longer fighting for the same positions and jobs

We will have a more organized and productive society.

Is our responsibility to educate the young ones

TAKE A BREAK WHEN NEEDED

You don’t have to work tirelessly every 24 hours. When you do, you are making life very difficult for you. 

The fact that your best friend is working then you shouldn't make you overwork yourself.

If you are a student, you don't need to read more than the designated hours just for the fact that your friends are reading longer than that. 

All that matters is staying productive!

In this era, hard work doesn't determine the quality of life you will experience, smart work does.

Working every hour doesn't guarantee you success, but with the little time, you dedicate you can be productive with it.

When you feel like taking a break, please do it. It's your life.

Life is not measured by working every 24 hours and it's not going to reward people who claim to work every hour.

Take a break when needed and come back stronger than the former.

Regain the energy you have lost and channel them into the things you will be doing later and the journey ahead.

Trust you got value?
