The great Nelson Mandela became the President of South
Africa at the ripe old age of SEVENTY-SIX years.
Be The Best You Can,With What You Have,Where You Are |
Many able bodied people of various ages give up their dreams
because they stop believing in themselves or think that it is not doable,
having a never-die attitude as well not allowing one to wallow in self pity
will definitely drive one to their dreams.As sure as the sun rises in the East
and sinks in the West,things will never remain the same.No matter what state
one finds themselves in, the truth is that it will change .So instead of
winging and mourning about your circumstances ,get up ,dress up and pitch up.Do
something about your circumstance, it might be as minute as going to visit a
friend and chatting ,the walk and the chance to change your surroundings will
definitely give you a different perspective to the problem,half the chance you
will come back invigorated and ready to
meet your challenge head on.
Whilst I might not be the best example of a person who has
achieved in life , I never stop moving nor improving myself.This year alone , I
was able to go for a class two drivers’ license after having failed at the last huddle Five
times ,I DID NOT give up ,on the sixth attempt I got the license and began the
odious task of looking for a job in an economy where it is reported that more
than half the population is unemployed. I could have given up or waited for
something to happen but instead through the luck I created I was able to get a
job managing a construction project for some guys who where going into
construction but where too busy to baby sit the project to fruition.
How I created my luck was making people aware that I was
willing to work on a voluntary basis in order to gain some driving
experience.Once I was given the opportunity to work, I ensued that I did my
very best .Right now Iam indispensible to the operation, Iam not only proactive, I make sure I resolve problems on
site and make it possible for the principals to concentrate on their careers.
Whilst I might not be driving but Iam learning some very
useful life skills which I would have needed to pay some big bucks for in order
to learn .The things is I never pass the opportunity to learn something new.Our
brains require constant stimulation otherwise they die from inactivity. The
stuff we learnt last year is already obsolete so we cannot rest on our laurels
and think that we know it all.
