Follow ur passion. "Purpose is wen u knw nd understand wot u were born to accomplish"
"Follow Your Passion" (aka FYP) is such a terrible piece of advice.
Do you think progress in life is linear? The truth is one can never know what one is born to accomplish.
Am always wary of any individual who subscribes to that erroneous FYP's school of thought.
You don't FYP but you develop passion for whatever you find yourself doing. And that way the sky becomes your stepping stone.

This is a poorly written piece by an over excited writer. Next time bro, organisation matters a lot in writing. Lopsided ideas can make a very interesting topic confusing. Lastly, what happens to punctuation marks?. Although style is the man himself, there are important rules of writing that must be observed.
Well, truth is bitter but you've just said the plain truth.
Always remain undaunted in your critical assessment of all caboodle in life.

I've visited many blogs but I've never visited a blog that completely covers everything I need. I was surfing the net when I stumbled on this blog. At first, I was'nt optimistic about what I was gonna find inside but after I visited it for the first time. I couldn't stop but visit it over and over again everyday. I've decided not to be selfish, so I'm gonna let you visit it too and have the fun that I had.

In a nutshell, don't put all your eggs in just one basket! -- Pursue and/or be engaged in white collar job and business concurrently!

Hi house,

Am sorry to derail, I urgently need answers to these questions;

I was diagnosed of hep B some three months ago and am about going for further tests. 

More important now is that I was sucessful in all the recruitment process for a role in a multinational company( it's an experienced role and I was the only one sucessful). 

Being the last stage I was sent a medical form to take to a specified hospital for medical assessment. Alas! on the form, hep B was part of the test to be conducted.

Pls house, what could be my fate after the company detects my hep B status? Would they not descriminate against me? 

Has anyone in the house ever been in a similar situation? how did it turn out? Would being hep B positive mean an end to one's career aspirations? Am very worried now, I have invested so much in myself.

Lastly is there any organisation local or abroad that sees into the rigth of people living with hep B?

May be you should reread the OP's post, what you just type is in sharp contrast to that of the OP.
In reality your post can stand the test of time. You've just unconsciously fine-tuned the OP's point.
Thanks a whole lots for your intuition.
hmmmm.....i see. well, you are welcome sha

One million likes for this your contribution! Very misleading advice!
Many young boys drop out of school because they have a passion for football and are all dreaming of becoming Messi. They have neither the skill nor the stamina but they believe in achieving anything with passion. By the time they wake up, their mates are already engineers, doctors etc. And shame won't let them write JAMB.
Whatever happened to old-fashioned hardwork? Why must it be passion?

O.P is advising you to follow the slow lane which is very dangerous in this information age A preoccupation to become highly educated could be Trojan horse to your freedom and your ambition to be wealthy.A degree isn't a prerequisite to Fastlane wealth.Some of the richest fastlaners are people with least "education" or people who never finished either high school or college.
Bill Gates,Steven Spielbergs,Richard Branson,Michael Dell,Felix Dennis, David Geffen, and Jorn paul Dejoria all dropped out of school to pursue Fastlane objective.if i may asked,how many degrees does Dangote,Otedola or Jimoh ibrahim has?How dare they get rich and not be "educated"
Try to get a copy of a book titled "The millionaire Fastlane" to discover the true secret to wealth.To have a copy you can what's app me on 08032315716.

Is there anything wrong in me perfecting my music skills combine with schooling without desiring to do any job? Cause my friends are saying am too inteligent to do music and I see it as my life, and i don't want to work with my result no matter how good it is. pls advice

Music is just a hobby. If you so much love music, keep singing, attend concert, join the choir in your church, attend rehersal and have an open mind to learn. If u are in for the passion and not the money or fame associated, u will sail through. As for me, am an enterprenuer student and also a music gick. Joined the choir last 2 yrs and i can tell u with all boldness, am seeing tremendous improvement. I can't just let a day pass by without singing. Music is my life, is my passion, is the air i breath. I think am born to sing. Maybe i feel that way cause i have a rare vocal texture. If u aren't observant, u might think a girl is singing. Not too thin but rich and sopranish. Another way to improve fast is to learn at least, one musical instrument. Am planning to start mine soon but the problem now is time and who to teach me.. Whatever might be the case, keep singing. Start from your bedroom, bathroom, toilet, church and u will get there. Plz, don't abandon your education because of ur passion for music. Don't put all ur eggs in one basket. Walk with wisdom. Sing, read, write, sing and sing, read and read and write. U will be glad u did.
Goodluck
