2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that ...
Yesterday after work i was at my bus-stop waiting for a Keke to drop me at new garage Ikeja, but i saw the number of people waiting for the same Keke and considering the whether i knew chances i would get a Keke was slim.
I decided to trek though the whether wasn't in my favor since it was already drizzling. throughout the journey to Ikeja i could barely count three Keke that past me and to my surprise it didn't rain.
This event immediately taught me a life lesson which i would love to share.
LESSON: There are so many individuals waiting to get to that destination you are vying for, and you all are waiting to get there through the same means.
in life there is always an option B, because your graduated as an accountant doesn't mean you must work in a bank. GET AN OPTION B.
You are patiently waiting with billions of people for that job, position, achievement that would take you to your destination. what if it never comes would you be stranded at your present position?
Everybody does it the easy way by waiting, a billion people are also waiting so when would it get to you. Rather than waiting patiently why not get an option B.
Why not take the walk yourself
You're depending on that uncle or connection to get you to your destination but the fact is a billion people are also waiting for that connection to also get there.
Rather that waiting why not take the walk, GET AN OPTION B.
Sometimes we want to do it the easy way because of some obstacles that we might face while taking the option B but the funny thing is those obstacles might just be facades trying to discourage you from making a move.
you need to take a step
think differently
get more value
create your own opportunity
MY QUOTES
Sometimes the difficult is the easy in disguise
Obstacles are facades trying to dissuade you from reaching your goal
Hard decisions are sometimes like bitter-leaf
