Growing up...
My dad told me about the 3 phases of life
Do you want to hear?
I'll tell you
TAKE
GIVE ME
BRING
You may not understand this if you're not African
but I'll go ahead and explain.
The "take" stage is from age 0 - 15
Your parents basically know all your needs and
provide you with the finances to meet them.
The "give me" stage is from 16 - your mid 20's
You now have different needs and you basically
demand money from your parents to meet them.
The "bring" stage is when you are now OYO (on your own)
You are now a full fledged adult and everyone expects you
to contribute to the family in some way.
See....
When we were kids, we wanted to be adults so bad
Now we are adults and we have seen that life is really not a bed of roses
Sometimes things are good
other times, things are tight.
I'm not referring to the people who only have 300k to give freaky freaky ooo.
lol.... I actually mean real live stuvvs.
Nobody is coming to save you
You'll have to figure things out
You'll have to take initiatives
You'll have to figure out a way to survive
If not, hunger will kee youuuuu
The government won't save
Esepcially this Nigerian government
They can't!!!
You have to be your own hero
Nobody will come to your house and make your dreams come true.
What's that business you've always wanted to start?
The job you wanted to apply for?
The skill you wanted to learn?
Start now oooo
Your success is your duty
It's not enough to have an idea
It's not enough to be thinking in that direction
It's not enough to "want to do it"
Get up and actually do it.
Ideas are easy...implementation is hard
But I believe in you
I believe you can do it
and I'm rooting for you.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
