Monday Morning Meditation: By Ogbo A. Ogbo by Nobody: 10:04am On Dec 31, 2012 |
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." ~ Philippians 4:8, NIV Yahoo News is the master of sensational headlines. I just saw this one from Shine, "2013 Horoscopes - Ready to see if your sun sign will shine in 2013?" .... You may look horoscopes all you want, or in our own case here in Africa, consult native seers, BUT if you don't say YES to yourself in 2013, the gods won't say YES to you, as the Igbos would say. ... I have labored passionately for the Nigerian youth virtually all my life. I love them - they're the BEST IN THE WORLD... but they are the hardest hit by the wickedness and greed of successive governments and sickly political structures. .... The Nigerian youth has two major problems to grapple with in 2013 - the first they have no control over (at least, until they take their future in their own hands, the Arab Spring style), and another over which they have control... ... Let me talk about the one under your control: ASPIRATION! ... A youth without aspiration is dangerous to himself and society. He is like a swimming pool without water.... Aspiration drives genius, inspires achievement, turns the wheel of labor and productivity. Aspiration precedes SUCCESS ... keeps a youth burning the proverbial midnight oil, working on himself and his project until it comes to fruition. Aspiration is the magic line that separates DREAM from FANTASY. ... So, here's the BIG problem: many Nigerian youth have POOR ASPIRATION. For the average youth, his or aspiration list for 2013 will include - a ticket to Koko Concert, Project Fame and A Night of a Thousand Laughs - parties, cars, fashion, music and expensive handsets - a girlfriend/boyfriend to sleep with every night - visa to "greener pastures" of Europe and Asia - fun, fun and more fun .... No amount of horoscoping and star gazing, no amount of government intervention will save a youth with poor aspiration! If you don't intervene in your own life, no one else can! == What are the SEVEN qualities of a GOOD ASPIRATION? St.Paul tells us in Philippians 4:8. Your aspirations in 2013 must be == ~True ~ Noble ~ Right ~ Pure ~ Lovely ~ Admirable ~ Excellent or praiseworthy == What are the 7 Things Every Youth Must Aspire for in 2013? == --1. To become a person of unshakable CHARACTER - "A good name is better than silver and gold." --2. To be FREE FROM WANT through HONEST labor and financial intelligence, not get-rich-quick schemes. Be self reliant and stop belittling yourself begging for jobs and money! --3. Have healthy relationships and be part of a powerful network --4. To be the best in his chosen career or vocation --5. To be RESPECTED as an authority in something positive in your CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE --6. To contribute something significant to the society and become a ROLE MODEL --7. To lead a healthy lifestyle, full of energy and vitality, never spending a day in the hospital in 2013. I love you... Have a prosperous New Year!!!! m.facebook.com/oaogbo?refid=52&_ft_=fbid.10200289915309505 |
