This message will be meaningless to countless number of youths who are
not ready to take responsibility for their lives. I deem it expedient
sharing this message after realizing that majority of us have resigned
to the frustrating predicament of the national unemployment syndrome,
and as such, many of us have relaxed, blaming the Government and
wallowing in the "someday Isle", thinking someday, things would change
for good, while we do nothing to take responsibility for our lives.
As
it's the responsibility of the citizens to hold their leaders
responsible/blame them for the national failures, so It's your
responsibility to hold and blame yourself for your failure!
I
gave the preamble above so as to provoke your thought and wake your
subconscious mind. One thing we should understand is that as we waste
time grumbling and doing nothing about our lives, time is going and the
quality of that certificate you are carrying about is depreciating, age
is a worrisome factor in the labour market now, so, what are you doing
about your unemployment status??
The unemployment rate and status
in this country is truly pathetic, in the true sense of employment,
only 20% of us are employed, majority of us who raise shoulders that we
have jobs are under employed, while the rest are unemployed.
Let
me tell you a bitter truth today, if you think you have one uncle or
someone somewhere who will help, my brother, you are just wasting your
time, 98% of people who renders sincere help in life are strangers or
someone you are not related in anyway, the rest 2% may now be family
member, so, take your mind off that and get your thinking refreshened.
Let
me give some simple principles from my understanding and experience. If
you are unemployed take this simple steps, and see if your life won't
change for the best in the shortest possible time.
1. Do as much fasting and prayer as you can, seeking God's mercy, favour and divine connection.
2.
Go out everyday corporately dressed and go to environments where you
could meet people that matters, in fact, you can go into any office, ask
them what they do, and how would they compensate you when you bring
customers, from there, you've created a platform for meeting new set of
people in your life.
3. Watch the company of friends you keep,
now you need to consciously chose your friends, chose those who could
help your career or motivate you to be great
4. Stop saying I'm not a marketer, if you can't market your self, who will market you? Who will buy/ employ you?
5.
Read as much motivational books as you can and see how many
billionaires in the world rose from nobody to somebody,follow their
footsteps,.and see what comes out of it.
6. Engage in a creative
thinking, look for a particular problem of the people and how you can
provide solution to it, so that money can move in your direction, there
is no how you have what people need and they won't pay for it.
All
these are my little contribution to make CHANGE in this country. I wish
we are all successful in life....that's my sincere wish, and it shall
come to pass.
