WHY GAIN A SKILL? - Marriet Ify

Are you skill shy or a school dogmatic?

This article will question your beliefs, set you up to see that your skill set and abilities, are as important as your name.

Education is for all. Having a skill is a thing for all to consider. But not many know this.

The society will rather have you work your entire life for them and get underpaid for lack of skill, than educate you on relevant skills for the work space. It might just be a conspiracy.

The society has dealt with men and women on parallel pages especially in the African communities.

All over the world, women are treated differently from men - they are different of course - but mostly on the negative.

How finishing a project can change your life

Pursue your dreams if not for anything, but for the person it would make of you. Our experiences in life shapes us into who we are. We are what we are by the accumulated effect of our experience. There is usually this surge of  feeling that shapes our self esteem once we put in every effort to finish a project, finish the race. We do not get this by quiting. Starting is as important as finishing. Our emotions someone crumbles our esteem when we fail to finish what we once had our heart on.

Most people are scared to start, not because they do not have the necessary resources, but because of fear of the outcome. So we have great dreams that didn't and still haven't gone outside the confine of dreams. 

HOW TO BE UNSUCCESSFUL

1. Put half efforts into everything you do. Just get satisfied with doing things with little efforts when in truth you can put in even more. Do not do much. Just do the little you can. Do this "with all your heart and might." You really do not need to do much to be unsuccessful. Just do the little things with little effort.

5 THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

1.       Do not 'Spiritualize' your inefficiency:

It is true that there is a God that watches over us and wants to see us succeed. But we should be careful not to be the architect of our failures. Believing in God is no excuse for mediocrity. As a matter of fact, it behooves us to take conscientious steps towards becoming whatever we are made to. Do not, out of sheer ignorance or inadequacy, become comfortable with the state you are in. You are made for much more. We are both yet to become who we truly are, and we won’t become that by spiritualizing our efficiency. We can only attain that blissful height by taken action to acquire that skill, building that talent and starting on that dream.
