I Dare You To Achieve
The potential that can be produced by a human
individual is by far unimaginable and yet the question that still stands is why
are we not excelling….. “Education is but a stepping stone, a path
towards achieving our true potential.”
It
is interesting to know the amount of potential and raw talent that Africa is
producing with their own children. Each generation having an even greater thirst
for knowledge and success. However, why still does Africa not flourish from its
fruits? The current generation is being
raised in a digital age were all the knowledge they need is right in their
pockets but they spend their time either chatting of Facebook or downloading
music. Whilst they are doing that half way across to the east, their Asian
counterparts are learning a new skill each holiday and to the west they are
constantly being exposed to the world. So if we as Africa so busy watching them
and not ourselves, how then do we excel? Our fore fathers fought so that
generations to come would have a voice that can be heard in the world. We sadly
do not carry the same motivation they had but instead desire more materialistic
ambitions.
The few that have had the strength and
motivation to succeed have managed to carve themselves into our history and set
a whole new platform not only for themselves. Different opportunities have been
given to us but if one does not make their own choice and see those
opportunities someone will take them from you and use it… “Doors maybe
opened for you but eventually they will close, that is their function and it is
up to you to walk through them!”
I mention this to guide my generation towards
their purpose and open their minds and let them measure themselves so that they
may know where they are and for them to be sure that they know where they are
going. Understand that success is
measured differently by us all but the intended result is the same for us all.
The world is at a stage where it’s, whoever wants it most, will have it and
if the world was like a pyramid, you would see that the bottom is very crowded
but only a select few make it to the top and trust me the view is a lot better
from the top. So where are you? That is
why I urge you to build yourself to become better each day and I Dare you to
Achieve.
