Growing Through youthful Experiences.
Growth does not just happen to people, It happens to those that desire the experience.
It requires making mistakes, failing at some point with strong believe that you can and will make impact despite your imperfections.
The big deal as you grow each day is what you do with the lessons from your past experience.
Are you learning from your mistakes and failures?
During my Secondary school days.
My academic performance was always low.
I may have played too much and took education for granted then and would rather spend more time doing skillful stuffs.
I remember representing my team, white house during an inter-house sport competition in a 1500 meter race, was not the first but did well.
I spent time composing songs with the flute after school hours instead of looking through my note, preferred picking up my flute and paper to compose and write songs like Dr. Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli “the Nigerian multi-talented maestro flutist”.
I still have a flute in my house to remind me of those old days and cannot remember the last time I used it.
I never repeated any class but wished I performed better.
The fact is that I learned from past poor academic performance, became aware of what excellence could attract to my life and I pushed on.
If you are failing in academics, career, business, in whatever you do.
Here is what I have for you.
Picture what success can attract to you today and push on.
Picture the good side of life and move on.
Don’t stop improving yourself due to many past mistakes and failures.
Add more value to yourself and to others and see the magic of life.
Good Morning.
