THE WAY FORWARD


We all have dreams and aspire to be somewhere someday. The race, as we've known is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor favour to men of skill; but time and chance are the major determinants of the victory.

Previously, there was a Publication on time and timing. Timing, being opportunity that shows up in the space of time; a gift controlled by human, depends solely on how we use our time.

The question then is: how well can this time be used so that when the opportunity shows up, there won't be any excuse?

It's quite simple:

Use your time to build your skills and network, make connections with people who are different, and think about the values important to you.

Your skill is what will make a way for you. Develop them. Anything that come so easy for you is a skill. Someone once said: "I'm so good at selling, and convincing people to buy my product". It's a skill! No skill is absurd. Spend your time building your skills. Get involved with things that will improve your skills.

Next is your network. Just like it is in the IT world, so it is in real life. Computers within a network share resources. So, a computer with little information can access greater information because it is in a network. Make use of your time to build your network; seek mentors, and be willing to be mentored. Your mentors are part of your network.

Also, connect with people doing things that are amazing and interests you. Make use of your time to build an association of like minds.

Finally, spend time thinking about values important to you; your values define you. Thinking about your values makes you a person of integrity,  because you will strive to live a life consistent with your values. The next available mentor will seek your values first.

Use your time to build your skills and network, make connections with people who are different, and think about the values important to you.

Building Capacity

The teen and youth ages are transitory periods. The adulthood is dependent on them and the childhood look forward to them. Major changes occur that shapes one during this period. Decisions and choices during this period are key too. The parable of the talents illustrates a scenario of three servants- their ages not told. They were given talents which can be likened to an investment. The spotlight is on the fact that they were given according to their "ability" and not "piety." A mentor once said they were given to capacity. If piety were a consideration, the servant who ended up with one talent should have had the most: he was pious; he feared his master the most  and wouldn't want to offend him in any way; but he hadn't capacity worth investing more than one talent. The above is an evidence that proves the fact that nobody is willing to invest much in anybody without capacity, enough to contain. The amount of content is dependent on the capacity of ...
