It is the 21st century, a period of social, political and advanced technical development as regards civilization and acculturation. The global village and the global market as we know it is interconnected in such a way that an individual can become acquainted with information, precepts, principles and standard patterns of living not inclusive in his own environment.
It is the information age, hence an individual in Nigeria can become directly proportional to any other individual in other parts of the world. This direct proportion is not necessarily in terms of complexion, race, language or tribe but in terms of a constant called information.
Traveling into globalization is beyond boarding a plane and visiting several parts of the modern world - which is exciting and absolutely necessary - but it is about becoming acquainted with cultures, methodologies and technical development beyond the scope of one's national environment.
This can happen even without boarding planes and it is a vital component of success for every individual climbing the ladder of global impact, relevance and influence.
Just engage these 3 simple hacks:
Become a Versatile Reader: It is good and necessary to read your environment but it is better to read beyond the scope of your environment. Traveling into globalization will to a large extent require reading beyond what's necessary.
Read international books
Read amazing biographies beyond your national scope
Read the news
Read, read, read!
Global impact will require global information and global leadership will require global readership to a large extent. Become a global student!
Build quality social relationships beyond your environment and/or nationality: Traveling into globalization will require having a social network that gives you the ability and opportunity to rub minds with internationals at several levels. It must not necessarily be direct but it is absolutely noteworthy if it is also a direct social relationship.
Create global relationships!
Watch out for quality opportunities to glean value from people that have eaten and exhibited global food and impact respectively: It may be by attending seminars, trainings, webinars or through mentorship and/or coaching.
In one way or the other, be willing and prepared to pay the requisite price for global relevance, otherwise you will either remain a local champion or a champion only in your national environment.
Let us therefore be willing!
Do not limit yourself by thinking only within the frame of your national environment. I don't know about you but I desire to move from local, state and federal to global and international.
I hope you learnt a thing or two and I hope you are willing to move beyond. Thank you for reading! Please consider leaving a like.
Another exciting piece from you..sometimes I wish to be in your head to understand you more.. However, down to your post, technology is now being taken otherwise. I feel parents should do a thorough work on their children while adults should maintain self control.
