Two of my classmates went for business apprenticeship (Igba bọy) after we finished secondary school.
One is swimming in money now. He is way way rich and doing good. Without any certificate, he can employ me wey dey abroad. However, the other one had issues with his boss after 7 years. He is still struggling to survive.
Same path. Different results.
In 2017, I was involved in an accident. The motorcycle wheel crashed, but nothing happened to me. However, I know one guy that feel from a bicycle and broke his arm. The arm got complicated and was chopped off.
Similar situation. Different realities.
I was listening to Cosmas Maduka (Coscharis Motors) speaking about commitment and focus in business. I know there were hundreds of his age mates who were more focused but got nothing in life.
I fell life has no formula. The outcomes are stochastic and uncertain
I wasn’t the only one that studied hard in my university days. As a matter of fact, some guys got really sharp grades and were much more hardworking. Yet, their efforts haven’t translated into progress.
When I was serving in NYSC, I met a guy that had about 5 bitcoins. He is very very rich. A small boy, younger than me.
Life has no formula. When you get successful, do NOT think it’s all by efforts and dedication. Truly, truly, I say unto you, many people are out there… who were extremely dedicated and willing… but life said no.
Beyond efforts, prayers and creed… I think we all can agrre that the only thing we can understand in life is that we can’t understand life.
When you see people fall into troubles and issues… don’t laugh. Learn and pray. No one is immuned to misfortune. No, not one.
Be kind in success.
Be resilient when you fail.
Be strong in hard times.
God bless you.
