A Short Wisdom Key to Advance in Life (Mostly for African countries, undeveloped and developing countries)
If you don’t want to
become a bad debt or a liability in your family, business, organization, and
country, acquire knowledge that will help you become valuable in society.
Nobody will recognize you until they see the value in you.
That is the law of
human nature. People are carrying a lot of problems you are ignorant of. Adding
your problem to theirs makes you a liability in their presence. It is a problem
you solve that determines your value.
Develop yourself by praying
and reading books that can help you become resourceful and profitable. Before
the twenty-first century, people could cater for their families with their
college certificates and businesses.
The higher your college
certificate, the higher your position in the organization. The higher your
school certificate, the higher your salary in the organization. Nowadays,
school certificates are becoming useless because we are in a global world.
Organizations are using
artificial intelligence machines, software’s and advanced technological systems
to manage their businesses. Educate yourself to meet the demands of this
generation. Study technology, software engineering, computer programming, and
anything that involves the computer, and you will become a valuable person in
this century.
Big companies can
employ you in their organization if you have the skills, qualifications, and talents.
You can be in Ghana, India, Brazil, China, Nigeria, Indonesia, the USA, and any
other country and work in big companies like Google, Facebook, Youtube, Amazon,
and other global businesses if you have the required talent, skills, and
qualifications.
Formal education may
help you read and write. Certificates in colleges are customized A4 sheets.
Stop relying on those customized A4 sheets and build your mind because every
decision you make emanates from your mind.
Follow godly successful
entrepreneurs, read their books, watch their videos, and read their articles
online. Put into practice what you have learned. Enroll in technical and
vocational institutions because, after studies, you will acquire skills to
employ yourself.
Do you know the number
of unemployed people with Bachelor's degrees, Masters, and Ph.D.'s living in
poverty? Formal education is good, but it has limitations! God has invested
gifts and talents in you.
Do your research, and
you will recognize that most successful entrepreneurs did not have college
degrees! Whatever you need in life is inside you. You can stay in your country
and become successful because you are full of untapped potentials.
Like a seed, within the
seed are forests. If you plant a seed of maize into fertile soil, it germinates
with numerous maize's. You are that seed. Connect with people who have
successfully walked on the path you want to walk and learn from them.
In most developing and
underdeveloped countries, the informal sector employs more than the formal
sector. In my country Ghana, the informal sector employs over eighty percent of
the citizens.
Because of this, many
school graduates cannot get employment in the formal sector. Most of us learned
theories in our schools. Most institutions train students to write good
curriculum vitae and search for white-collar jobs; meanwhile, the jobs are not
available.
You only get employment
in the formal sector if a manager, politician, or a recognized employer (Chief
Executive Officer) in a company knows you. Stop wasting your time on
unnecessary materials (books, videos, and songs).
Use social media wisely
and profitably because you can generate funds through these platforms. Don't
solely rely on the government and politicians for jobs because most only think
about their interests and families.
Disconnect from people
who have no vision in life and connect with godly people who have the same
vision you want to pursue. Spend quality time on valuable information on
youtube, Facebook, blogs, books, and websites.
Spend money on relevant
books. Don’t waste your money, time, and energy on materials that will increase
your expenses and expenditure. If the material you possess takes money from
you, it’s a liability.
Purchase materials that
will increase your revenue. There are some things you may not need now. Sell
those materials (liabilities) and use the funds to purchase assets. Whatever
brings money or adds value to you is an asset.
Whatever takes money
from you or wastes your time and energy is a liability. This is the best definition of assets and
liabilities I can give to you as Servant of God and counselor. Check your
income statement and match your expenditures and revenues, assets, and
liabilities.
Eliminate or limit the
expenses and expenditure, and you will increase your profit and value: the
lower your expenses and expenditure, the higher your profits. In your scales of
preference, let your needs (things you cannot live without) dominate your wants
(stuff you can live without), and you will not overspend. I gave you some
little intellectual knowledge to help you pursue a purposeful life. You can get
