In simpler terms, you have to do the following:

• Be adaptable to changing demands

• Embrace continuous learning and development

• Always think outside the box by actively looking for ways to generate other income streams

• Be flexible with your approach to success

• Invest whilst you can and always go with what’s needed not what you want

Dearpreye, I can't even begin to describe how candid, rich and straight your article is.
You've written aptly from your heart to those that want to learn and improve the quality of their lives.
The emperor of the future is the one who will learn to develop the multifacets of their life.
When I was a student, I was surprised by the fact that students cared only about reading to pass their exams and thus they graduate without any skill whatsoever. Some of them don't even read newspapers!
As a student, I combined my studies with a lot of things and still graduated with my academic dignity more or less intact; in exactly six years.

I wrote and won essay contests, I pastored a campus fellowship, I blog presently, I proof-read people's manuscripts before final book production, I design websites, I'm a columnist in a lifestyle magazine, and what more? I am a public speaker in campus circles especially, all to the glory of God.

Summary: Be all you can be. You're a Homo Sapien with unquantifiable capacity and intelligence. Only ants in an ant colony micro-specialise.

Thumbs up!.

Nice write up. Now its question time.

I have someone who would like to get skilled in animation. Unfortunately nigeria don't have good schools that offers such (i may be wrong), but after doing some research he could only get such schools in India.

How would you advise such a fellow?

Good write up @Preye, use to think u r only good at criticizing our new God-ordained president!,never knew you could be good with words. I sm a living testimony of your salient write up, I have partly been able to maximise my little God giving talents. I am a minister of Gods word in a fore known ministry, an Entreprenure growing steadily, a teaching counsellor, and by the grace of God, an officer with the NAF. I make shoes for our military outfits in Nigeria, i make same for local consumers(some of you may even be using my products unknowingly),i give carrer speeches to institutions in Nigeria and got trained in the Mechanised division of the military as a plant Engineer and Builder.All this came to Be via hard work of the mind and discipline of the flesh.By the mercies of God, i am growing strong in this areas. To God Be The Glory. Good post@Preye

Wow! And more wow!!!! On a lighter sense, my political inclinations, however different from yours, do not in anyway affect my mind and thought process.

Your story is encouraging and uplifting!

Thumbs up dearpreye. Thanks for shedding more light on dynamism. To me, the article means investing more in myself to remain relevant in my field & achieving more to make me wanted in other fields.

Thanks for your submission. Anyone who refuses to change and be fluid in his career will either break or fade away. We must be dynamic and clairvoyant enough to be relevant both today and tomorrow.

This thread, as educative and informative as it is, has not got beyond the 2nd page despite having been on the fp since God knows when.
Something is definitely wrong somewhere.

cheesy cheesy grin grin...It's always lack that. A vast majority of people aren't enthusiastic about articles that challenge us to think than Tonto and other celebrity gossip. That's the way it works.

HMMMM! Thanks for your inspiring message. It take a lot of discipline and focus to be relevant. These are traits lacking in many lives. I believe many persons have been inspired and gingered by this message of yours.
