P.U.S.H (Persevere until something happens).

Yesterday I was on my bed, curiously thinking about the problems we are facing in Nigeria, what a pity. This starts from day one for everybody. When I say day one, I mean the day each and every one of us started thinking. “It’s your thinking that leads to your suffering"- Charlie Badenhop. Do you agree with him? Well YES!! I do. This is because if you purify your thoughts, you are one step ahead of one million people. I’m telling you. In Nigeria, we so much believe that, a great invention made outside of Nigeria, can only be done by them and not we. We depend a lot. The world is filled with "tomorrow" people. They'll wait until tomorrow to get something done. Start today! Your speed doesn't matter, forward is forward. Let's have a great thought of building a great future for our children and generations. Spend each day of your life like it is the last. Let's have the entrepreneurial mind set, we have a long way to go for the world to believe in Nigeria, because we have lost our values and integrity long ago. Wake up, stand up and let's do this. Don't wait for the perfect time, there is no such thing. You and only you can make the time perfect. The government cares less about the youth, believe you can do it. Another factor keeping us back is not wanting to learn. You have to be diverse in learning and knowledge acquisition. Most Nigerians value liking/sharing/viewing pictures than reading a great article that can change life in just minutes. Let's try to learn, "any fool can learn, the point is to have a deep understanding "-Albert Einstein. The late Steve Jobs, he always said "stay hungry stay foolish". The meaning of this quote is ambiguous. But let me share the little I can about it. “Stay hungry Stay foolish” hmmm, a powerful quote that can drive you forever towards greatness, if you stick to it. STAY HUNGRY->like I said earlier, be diverse in learning, live each and every day of your life as if it is the last. You have to be hungry for success, be willing to go extra mile to succeed, and know that your success should be of great impact to humanity. So be hungry to succeed, learn, if the door to success is close, cave, create your own door. Life is limited. STAY FOOLISH-> basically, a fool is a person who does something without thinking, but here a fool is somebody that knows a lot but still strives hard to know more from people, no matter the level, tribe, sex, age, belief, economic standing, ethnicity or religion. Everything you come across in your daily route teaches you something, believe me. Aspire to learn, even from kids. Try it and you will see the sky is your beginning.

The change begins with me and you. Thanks for reading.
