The problem is that the millenials of today have been conditioned to think that you can, without much work, achieve in a year what requires almost 5 years of deligent & consistent hard work. You can dispute this by pointing to technology but I think of technology as just a tool and even the most sophisticated tool requires some level of mastery. Mastery happens with time.
Sometimes, it's just nature and its principles having its course; work precedes wealth. The struggles of building is sometimes just a ritual of passage designed by nature itself. You can't break nature, it will break you.
As distracted as I was in the grammar classes in my High school, one thing struck my interest: The sequence of 'to-be' verbs. I used to sit in class and play with it in my head, nothing to do with what the lecturer was saying.
Here they are -----> Be - do - have.
Be by learning, grow by doing and then you'd have. Don't switch it. You can't have before 'be-ing'.
We cannot motivate our way through principles like we want to 'entrepreneur' our way through the rot in this Nigeria.
In Nigeria, entrepreneurship is a solution to every social problem. Anyone ever bothered to read the driving motivation behind entrepreneurship in different parts of the world? It's not the same. Everything about Africa still lies trapped at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs and motivation, the need to survive the next 24hrs, nothing aspirational yet.
Until then..... let's keep playing and dancing to despacito.
excellent message. very true! @donkelly
