Allow the young to grow

I know most of us must have come across the saying “The young shall grow” well, I don't think the young are allowed to grow any longer and this has led some people to stop chasing what they believe in.

Why u wrote about “allow the young to grow” I am not talking about the child that is growing, no, I am talking about people who are beginning to grow in business, career, or any other profession that brings money, so many people have given up on what they want to do because others that were there before them don't want to allow them to grow.

They are some people that ones they become professionals, will not want to see anyone learning around and trying to grow in the same field as them, they will gather and start laughing at the person, instead encouraging the younger one in the field trying to belike them (the pros) this will make the young ambition guy loses focus on what he's doing and just start wishing to become a pro over or just give up on it and find something else doing.

Now the pressure is put on people that are beginning to learn a new skill, some pros in the field won't even be nice to show them how it is done properly, but rather, they will just be waiting for them to make mistake so they can laugh, they usually forget that before they turned pro, they were ones upon a time a learner, that even did worse back then, they will forget the good energy someone uses to teach them.

These set of people are everywhere, they are like the ones that cross a bridge and also break the bridge after crossing so another won't pass, cause they feel the newbie might take their jobs for them once they start getting better in it so they will now start doing everything possible to make sure that the person won't get it correctly or get better in doing it.

Some pros understand that everyone can't be the same and they don't pressurize anyone to do better, rather they allow them to grow and learn from either their own experiences or the person's experience, for me, I believe this is the best type of learning, one will be able to see things from a different perspective and not just one side view.

Just a brief description of what I meant by grow in this article when one is allowed to grow it means the person should be allowed to make mistakes and learn from them without any regret, some people are drowning in regret for years now because of a mistakes they make and they can't stop thinking about it because people around them is reminding them of what they did in the past like an alarm clock.

No one is above mistakes and we all make mistakes daily, either big or small, all are mistakes, unless you are programmed to do the same thing everything and not to make mistakes, that means you are a robot then, haha, like I said, the mistake is part of life but they are some mistakes that can ruin someone forever, cause they will be constantly reminded of it, like sending a nud3 to someone and the person or someone else leaked it to the net, that's a very deep sh!t the sender has gotten his or her self into.

I know some of us here don't like watching tv series because you can't wait for a new episode, haha, well, if you are familiar with the tv series by CW, titled Stargirl, something similar happened and the parents of the girl were just seeing her as a disgrace and they kept reminding her of what she did, she can't turn back the hands of the clock and that is something she regrets ever doing because she thought, she thought that, well, she thought a lot.

I have realized that some people do want you to grow but not more than them, first, they will support your growth and when they see you growing more than them in the business, the same people will start looking for ways to pull you down, it's not easy dealing with humans every day, especially if your intentions are good, you might end up in the mud cause some people will do you dirty, especially the ones you trust.

Best way to grow in life is listen to criticism (not too much though)haha, cause some people do criticize because of jealousy or fear of you passing them in the field, at least listen to the valuable ones and also check if you are doing something not quite right, you will be able to spot it out and work on that area, that too is growing, it's just like using the stones being thrown at you to build an empire, I'm still testing the technique though, haha, if it works, i will update you guys, you can also try it too.

Young people seem to make mistakes in life but we must let them learn from them, and make sure to guide them too.

Exactly. We should guide them with love and let them know that it's fine to make mistakes sometimes.

Let them explore and make mistakes, and from it, they will learn, and definitely, they will grow. As a teacher, allowing my students to make mistakes and giving them the opportunity to make things better for the next time around proves that they grow for the better. We just have to support and guide each other to make everything better and make a better world for the future.

That's right, when we guide them to do better, they will grow better in it.

One has to learn to filter the noise. Take what is relevant;what will make you improve and forgo the others.

when you have a professional in your family, they would compare you to them and they will tell you to get the same course and track. when that happens, young people have no freedom to choose what they like.

That's just, they won't grow and they won't allow others to grow, they will see it like ones they decide to grow, and they won't be able to block others from growing more than them.

I remember my senior in college while we were freshmen, like they laughed at us. Thinking something differently. Instead of encouragement, they gave fear.

This topic reminds me of one lecturer we had in school. He took as one "devilish" that has unfamiliar engineering mathematics and trust naija lecturers na, they'll teach it a way that the subject will look terrifying difficult. We opened up and asked him why he's making the subject more difficult for us and he boldly said that if we know it more than him, he won't make money from sorting. Wickedness!!
