BE RESPONSIBLE; COMPLAIN LESS. Complaining about what government has failed and fails to do is the easiest task for the citizens. We complain virtually about everything and do nothing. It is not wrong to complain though, don't get me wrong. The mandatory one year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has opened my eyes to see the doom the would soon befall us if most of the youth get into power. As a corps member, I have seen that we are best at giving complaints whereas we are mostly the complain. The little thing placed in our hands are not effectively delivered.

OPPORTUNITY COMES TO THE PREPARED. Being idle is one of the characteristics of a warped minded individual. Opportunity lies in the way of a determined and hard working person who sees the best in what he it she does. The story of Sandra the Gokada employee caught my fancy when I was reading it recently.

Imagine this lady was not determined and ambitious enough, sh...

Fatigue sets in when you keep planning and it seems as if everything is not working. Life itself is a war but the battle you win towards winning this war is basically the steps that takes you closer to winning the war of life. The vision you have might be a big one which seems unachievable, but the little goals you set towards achieving this vision is actually very important; when you win these battles then the war is being won gradually. Setting smaller goals and achieving them actually leads to the actualization of your ultimate goal. Getting to the climax does not come easy, but the little step you take towards achieving this vision forms the basic of the vision's achievement. Do not be tired of setting goals; though it might not look it now but if you are persistent, determined and intentional about it, then it is achievable. There woul...
