Happy last Tuesday of the year. As humans, we all desire to progress in everything we do. In our education, we desire progress. In our work, no one desires to be stagnant. We all desire promotion. But, success is not a game of chances. It comes with challenges and other experiences. Gold is not mined on the surface of the earth. It requires that the miners dig deep down into the heart of the earth to draw out this precious mineral. The mining process requires rigorous and relentless efforts on the part of the miners.

This same principle applies to attainment of progress. The student who desires progress must be willing to labour consistently to realize his aspirations. We can learn from this acronym of progress;

• Painstaking and persistent for success.

• Resolute and rigorous for success.

• Observing open doors for success.

• Growing in goal getting for success.

• Reading for retention and success.

• Exploratory and enthusiastic for success.

• Supplicating and seeking for success.

• Studying and striving for success.

There are twenty-four hours in a day out of which the diligent would work for an average of fifteen hours. Most times, lack of progress is due to laziness that is often demonstrated by few hours of work per day. How many hours do you spend to work in a day? God in His mercy has given us the opportunity to work when it is day. Rest is sweet after labour. Only the indolent finds pleasure in laziness. A lazy person cannot make progress. He cannot make use of open doors. Work does not kill anyone, but laziness brings disgrace.

You have to be meticulous in the way you spend your day. The day is made up of one thousand,four hundred and forty minutes. You've got to be wise in your use of time. Every minute that flies off in unprofitable ventures is lost forever. Time is precious. When you engage yourself in profitable venture during the day, you will enjoy refreshing sleep in the night. It will benefit you immensely to work diligently while it is day. Spend your time wisely.

Make the best use of each day of your life for a better performance in the achievement of your success goals. Progress is God's plan for you. You can break even and shine among the achievers of your time. Let your focus be on your success goals without giving up pursuing. Begin to attempt the impossible to attain the incredible.

Forward ever, backward never.

Thanks for reading.
