Start it, finish it. (Don't quit).

If you're going to start something-if it's worth starting-then it's worth finishing. That's what I live by.

_Marshall Faulk

Life is of these three stages: the start, the middle, and the End. In everything we do, these three are applicable.

Each and everyone of us feel excited at the commencement of something tangible and beneficial, we take responsibilities, joy fills our hearts as we are starting. Our zeal is so much that whoever sees us would believe we would continue with such enthusiasm and passion

But when we get to a point (the middle stage) we begin to encounter some confrontations, obstacles, barriers, difficulties, obstructions, and stumbling blocks . Should these make us give up? No! Instead of giving up, we must give it what it takes! Instead of making excuses at these points that "oh it's looking too hard", we must bring out our best energy to push it through to the end.

You cannot be productive and create value until you finish the task. My experience to buttress my point. As a son of a farmer, i have discovered over the years that we are not successful in his farming activities until the harvest stage. In the middle stage we use to experience much farming challenges, but if we give up and don't work more to get our plants more protected and nurtured, we will have no farm Products to harvest and sell the end when other people are harvesting and selling theirs.

The benefit of what you've started lies in you finishing it. Most of the successful individuals we heard of, or see in our today's world aren't the ones with best ideas in the world, but they are the ones that did the best job by taking an idea, work on it, and finish it, despite challenges.

When i was in the high school, my physics teacher told me the story of the man who invented Lightbulb, that he tried 1000 unsuccessful times, until he successfully made the bulb. I quit believe that he was so happy that the start of the invention, but on getting to the middle he would feel somehow, the thought of quitting it might come to his mind, but instead of obeying such thought, he stayed resilient and tenaciously doing the experiment, and at the end he achieved his goal. We need to learn from this man and never to quit whatsoever we start even though it becomes hard at the middle.

Anything you start, no matter how tedious that thing latter turn, if truly it worth starting, be determined to see it through to the end. Make sure you finish it.

There was a time we were to resume back to the university after the Assu strike and covid-19 long lockdown that wasted our time for more than a year, on receiving the news, we became so wearied in mind, because most of us were already doing things through which we were making money, we've diverted our minds to another direction. some of my course mate even said the zeal to continue the first degree had died in them. But the truth was that it worth starting, no matter the the longevity of the break, we needed to finish it also.

In life, in between the starting point and the ending point of anything you do, you must make sure you are so bold and well determined to surmount all circumstances and situations you might encounter.

There are benefits in finishing what you start:

• It will help you have confidence and assurance in yourself that you can achieve anything in life.

• You will gain respect and trust from people. They will always see you a strong-minded person, who would never give up.

God has put an overcoming power in you, so, you must not run away from challenges and difficulties, you need to stay and subjugate them all. If what you are doing at the moment really worth starting, make sure you also finish it.

Never quit!!!!

Never stop!!!!

Keep going!!!!

Make sure you achieve it!!!
