At time we have to stand up and take action in life, but people seems to be okay with the way life is taking them. How can you sit comfortably at home thinking manners will come from heaven.
One thing that is killing our youths now is PROCRASTINATION. you intend to do something tomorrow and before you know it, you will feel so lazy and then push it to the next day. This continues to happen everytime and before you know it, you're old and then you must have wasted your youthful age into doing nothing.
At time we don't have to wait for our parents to do everything for us, or even wait for the government to provide food for your table. Though the government still have their own part to play, but you as a person still have yours to play too.
I remembered an advice an old man gave me when I visited my home town. He said "my daughter, you have a nice and wonderful future ahead of you, do not waste your time on things that doesn't count in your life and remember my daughter, you can only make your future brighter, don't misuse the opportunity you have now so you don't get to regret it later in life".
His words really touched me and I felt for him. Because when he was younger, he had the opportunity to do many things that would have better his life, but he kept on PROCRASTINATING until it was too late for him. You never can tell a person's story until you're in that situation.
As we're entering into a new year, it's good you make a new year resolution. One of the resolution should be:
To put a stop to procrastination and make a better name for yourself and for your family too.
Setup a target on things you want to accomplish and try your best to accomplish them.
Is not just to make a target, do you have the mindset or the ability to work towards that? Do you have the ability to make a good name for your family?. Think positively of yourself and make things work out for better.
If you want to setup a business as a young man/lady, put in your efforts into the business if you want it to grow and also be patient
Many people want a fast action, meaning they want to have their income without undergoing the normal process, that is why you see many youths engaging themselves into stealing or any dubious means to get money.
As a young person, you need to have a vision on what you want to do and your mindset towards it also matters.
They're still other new year resolutions you can make, and remember is not just to make a new year resolution, also put it into action.
On the government part of procrastination, what is keeping them from paying the Academic Staff Union Of Universities (ASUU)? they promise to do something the next thing, they fail to keep their own promise. Now the ASUU are planning to go on nation wide strike which means that the whole school in Nigeria will be shutdown Because of the government failure to keep to their own promise.
Many things has gone wrong in Nigeria just because the government keeps on procrastinating on what they want to do to make Nigeria a better country.
I still remember before they are being elected, they made a lot of promises like providing adequate security, good education for the less privilege who are finding it difficult to pay their tuition fee but still have the interest in going to school.
What about the provision of pipe Borne water to the under developed cities, most of them still suffer from different illness because of dirty water.
I think what is killing the government from keeping their own part of their promise is procrastination, and it's high time we stop that. It's high time we make a difference for ourselves, for our country and for the betterment of others too. Let's learn how to care for people and stop being selfish on our own part 😉.
Thanks for reading.
