Are You In College For the Degree or For Economic Self Development Preparation?

By Odusina, Adewale Hiworks, Oct. 27, 2022.

We must redefine college education to our teaming youth; it must mean more to them that just a certificate to show one is schooled. It must mean economic self development preparatory program.

When this is the goal, then the programme must show the deliberate path to that future.

Otherwise A SMART STUDENT must alongside getting the so-called college education, which will just serve a basic social accreditation perception purposes, do other programs probably online and also offline that will make the college education marketable.

For example, a student of College Physiology can take up online information technology, lessons on business operations, money management, workplace inclusivity, Business & Operations, Customer Service, Staffing, Operations & Commerce, Selling, Workplace Inclusivity, Workplace Productivity,Employee Management, Career Development,Brand & Identity, Marketing & Measurement and many more.

Some of this skill development are available for free online (Try Google Primer and LinkedIn) and after completion and certain test of knowledge, certificates are issued.

Others will be for them to pick up trades...barbing, fashion designing, art works, vehicle and truck repairs, vehicle body works, cooking, laundry works and such kind of trades.

The world has changed and changing but a lot of our youths are still chasing the lost cheese.

They are in denial or lazy or fooled that the school certificate will deliver the lost cheese.

We need to push as many of them in our circle of influence to do the needful so they are not out of school and dependent.

Remember the demographic information says in Africa, over 50% of our population are below 40years.

Population of Africa 2021, by age group

 In 2021, there were around 207 million children aged 0-4 years in Africa. The population aged 17 years and younger amounted to approximately 650 million. In contrast, only approximately 48 million individuals were aged 65 years and older as of the same year.

If we don't take up the challenge today, we shall have in our society of tomorrow a catastrophic unemployable graduates to deal with.

Employment in the future will be for employable people that may not necessarily be college graduates but college graduates with employable skills will be ahead of the competition.

We have today to change that future narrative.Hiworks

No Child of God is Less Privileged

No child of God is less privileged. This is one of the realities of being a child of God and knowing so. Our God is Rich onto all that call upon Him.

I see a lot of sell-outs to the 'less privileged' association, especially with children looking for scholarship opportunities, communities looking for aids and such windows for buying into the classification are presented as baits. People, Christians, to win scholarships, favours will come with the 'less privileged' status or identification. This is a very wrong mental disposition for the point of view of who we have become in Christ.

The United States is one of the most indebted nations in the world but it will never be classified as a poor nation. They are still today, one of the most philanthropic nations in the world. They are so committed to their citizens to the point that even the missionary young man in his twenties kidnapped by terrorists and brought into our country,  a citizen that could only offer $40 to his abductors was rescued within four days by the best of American military forces, the navy seals. That would have cost some millions in dollars. 

That is how America place premium on their citizens. If you claim to be Christ, you are the citizen of God's Kingdom on Earth and your value is His life, meaning everything He is and everything He owns. When he was trying to demonstrate that value, He went to the cross, became the curse, paid our debt for sin and gave us a clean bill of blessing...access to everything God is and everything God owns. That is why it is called Too good to be true news; The Good News, or The Gospel.

We are not Less Privileged!!! I will rather stay without a man's help than receive any help because I am perceived to be needy, poor, less privileged, vulnerable, endangered or any of such.

I am blessed and empowered to succeed with the help of God flooding by being. This is how I see it. My life is flooded with this truth and I can not see otherwise; it is too late actually, it is an all-consuming continual transformation process that is getting clearer and clearer.

If you are a believer in the truth, carry it on your head like crazy or as it> is said today in our local YORUBA parlance, like KILODE!!!.

Refuse for life to isolate you from the benefits of your royalty; take responsibility for your royalty and the paraphernalia of spiritual attendances for Purpose, Providence,  Productivity, Preservation and Procreation through mentorship.

Time is a Just Umpire; Don't be Deceived; You've got Time, you've got all that you need for greatness; Getup!!! and Go be Great

Time is a Just Umpire; Don't be Deceived; You've Got Time, you've got all that you need for greatness; Getup!!! and Go be Great

Everybody is incubating something consciously and unconsciously. The future is already determined by your investment in times and seasons.

If one is doing nothing, well for whatever reasons one chooses to be claiming irresponsibility for inaction, the future has nothing in store for such one.

Doing nothing and idling away is proof that one does not see TIME like one sees MONEY.

It is the value of time that keeps changing probably from $1 per hour to $1milion per hour. 

Anyone in any nation, no matter how the economy is can grow the strength of his or her time value to the point that, no matter the currency of exchange, such will be rich and powerful. That is really what every Man must strive to build capacity for. 

This quest can be pursued by anyone and the opportunities to journey this path are upon all mankind; it is in every man's mission to journey the path of success and achieve greatness and invaluableness.

This is the real deal.

I have seen a retired principal rewarded with a brand new car, an SUV precisely, by students group she taught in the 90s and other teachers receiving cash awards. Many of such keep happening to show time value must be delivered; it can't be lost..it is a sovereign decree.

For the young graduates of higher institutions lazing around and still exploiting parenthood, hoping for a dream job that will come someday, the people fanning your uselessness unfortunately are destroying you and you do not even know it. Probably you are hoping to take over business inheritances.

For all of you defined above, Time gives what you have earned and also ferociously takes what you do not deserve. Little wonder businesses have suffered retrogression when passed down to undeserving children that failed the test of time and grit. 

Know now, you have everything already for greatness because you have the greatest invaluable resource, equal share with everyone else in life; TIME.

USE TIME DELIBERATELY

USE TIME INTENTIONALLY

USE TIME FEROCIOUSLY

TIME WILL DELIVER

TIME WILL DELIVER WITHOUT FAIL

USE YOUR TIME WELL

Miinding Our Own Success Game Plan

Miinding Our Own Success Game Plan

When was your last time online doing something that improves your trade?

Mine was last hour.

.

Something caught my attention some hours ago. I was watching a FREE empowerment session 'Taking the market as an Underdog' with Niyi Adesanya on YouTube for about two hours and only about 800 views after one year. I also check some of his other videos with a similar level of traffic. 

However, I checked the traffic for comedies and related fun fairs and the traffic was averaging over 500,000 views. 

Both had free access but most people are not interested in fishing or knowing how to position better for more effectiveness and get more. They are just comfortable with associating with successful fishers and probably getting from the crumbs that falls off unfortunately. 

Everyone must move from employees to stakeholders mentality; that mentality always deliver more into the Commonwealth platform. Even in government, if civil service become more efficient prompted by this mentality, more savings will be made and the excess will be available for the common good.

Little wonder, the low level of new entrance into entrepreneurships, partnerships and stake holdings.

We are not all going to be business owners but we must all at least grow from employees to become stakeholders in every sense of that in our chosen industries.

THAT TRANSITION WILL NEVER HAPPEN IF WE DO NOT INVEST INTO THE REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE BASE  AND WE SPEND OUR TIME ONLINE  WATCHING ARTISTE AND OTHER SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IN THEIR CRAFTS.

When was your last time online doing something that improves your trade?

Mine was last night. Hiworks

Excellent Works Series

Excellent Works Series

The trials life presents to us do not always come scheduled like the academic examinations with dates and times and so we are caught red handed and our responses are most likely unrehearsed.

Unfortunately, unrehearsed response or otherwise determines what happened next; The result. This can be extra ordinary, excellent, good, pass or fail.

We know every failed exam is repeat until at least a pass.

Also, the quality of performance in life examinations also impact on future roles, responsibilities, influence, rewards and all that.

If we are not watchful we may just be circling the same spot for years and be blaming others for it when the issue is that we have been failing our life examinations.

A civil service worker that clocks in and leaves the office to run personal interests and gets paid salaries for inactivities is failing life examinations without knowing it. Also those doing eye service are not better of.

Life examination can not be bamboozled as action and inaction are equally recorded against every player.

Work is spiritual and every work is rewarded; you are either owing or being owed and every work gets paid for.

Every trial is a spiritual engagement and for as long as we are here, we are in one, coming out of one and going into one.

Every trial is scored and rewarded, otherwise failed trials will be repeated.

Unbelievably, nature abounds in resources to take EVERY HUMAN BEING on His trials. A graduate comfortable with idling at home because the dream job has not come is failing. Every Work gets paid for. A graduate can volunteer in a neighborhood school to teach while awaiting a dream job. This is just an example.

One of the ways to beat life's trials is to live deliberately and truthful. To stay committed to excellent performance in every engagement, To starve daily self aggrandizement and strife to help others make progress.

This is exactly what the Grace of God has come to animate in our lives. This is the true reflection of a Christian lifestyle.

Embrace the help of God today, Jesus Christ and be defined by His excellences. You will discover how easy it is to drive in Lagos and not raise your voice again to fellow road users, be a law abiding citizen, be slow to speak and to anger, be ready to forgive, be ready help others make progress, among other virtues of a Godly life.

The Dream has what it takes in you after all

It is amazing that when we are travelling even to an unknown destination, we keep an imaginary picture of the location in our mind before and on the journey; we don't mentalize the roadblocks, the bushes, the traffic, the cloud, the rain, and all at the same depth of emotional connection as the destination of interest.

We Must Do Much More For Our Dreams and de-emphasize the cost of the journey; The Dream has what it takes in you after all.Hiworks
