Very true!

I had to leave school before I found this truth. I looked inward before I realized that I had been told a big lie. All along I thought that getting a job after uni would be the end of my struggles, alas, it signaled the beginning. I remain unfulfilled even after the certifications and the job. Now I'm in a struggle to find the real purpose of my life.

Unfortunately we wait to get to this dilemma before we turn to the creator of life. Before now I thought that being educated and having money equates having a fulfilled life, experience has taught me differently. You can never know the purpose of your life except you turn to the one who holds the manual of that life.

This is not an excuse to leave university, because purpose/destiny needs education and needs proper education, instead tell people to follow their purpose not making them seem they're wasting time going to school. Cheers

onojaford:
You were trying to make a good point, but when I checked, I discovered that you are been moved and motivated by mediocrity. please be careful. Did you discover that your own purpose was to demoralise sound minds when you went to the "ocean beach" to inquire of the sands?

Billyonaire:


The education you need is to be able to read, write and may be algebra. This is all you need to start making decision on your purpose in life. That decision is what needs to direct what University you choose to attend, the decoy matrix programming you called University.

I think the only University, which is worth attending is You/niverse.

Dramadiddy:
I don't get. you need education before purpose? last time I checked, you need purpose before education, what you're saying is the same as "we need this building to be constructed as soon as possible, later we can worry about the building plan"

livingseed:
I'm not going to say that I agree with you, but I do feel that it's not for everybody. It depends what you want out of it. Life itself is a waste of time if you don't conform to its purpose. Whether Nigerian University education is a good choice for an individual in Nigeria presently is a complex choice. It could be meaningless for now but society dictates it and you cant change it.

You can fight the current your whole life and try to walk up stream facing constant resistance for no reason but your pride. Or you can play the game... lift up your feet and let the current carry you and stuff will be alot easier. More so, There are other ways to work towards having a good life.

Billyonaire:

Getting lost in the matrix is common, it is the most common level of human existence, but when you raise your understanding beyond the mental programming, then you will see such a wide array of humans who exist without knowing their purpose. Hence happiness is elusive.

livingseed:


My thoughts exactly. Actually, Purpose is a big part of what constitutes education and if it were possible for everyone to fully understand the value of purpose early in life then maybe fewer or more people would need a classroom education. So yes, Purpose will cause people get lost in the maze and purpose will lead people to happiness as you enunciated. Nothing in life is wasted, it's all experience.

Billyonaire:
This is going to be very controversial especially since I haven't written anything 'in' this section, so my name can not precede me.

Before I make assertions, I need to appeal to you who is still in secondary and tertiary institution to keep an open mind, and take advantage of the new lines that I am going to write. My time is limited and quite expensive, but I feel I owe our Human Species an obligation of 'Awakening' them before it takes many decades of their lives, like it took me to figure out what this planet is about. I am sure our President does not know this truth, so you are in a much better place humanly.

And to the graduates of our Universities who are still finding their balance on a comfortable living. But to those who have 'made it', I am sure you see how empty the quest for our happiness has been elusive. Well, I have a message for all of you. And I am through with the message.

What did I end up saying ? Nothing, you have just wasted 2 minutes of your time, relative to how fast you read. The END.

Shall we begin after an END.

Life is not what you think, because what you think are functions of your experiences which is signatures of your exposures and affordable and available information you were told by parents, religious leaders, political leaders, school, friends etc. But let me tell you something friends.

Let us turn back the clock to the time of your birth and the date of your birth. WHAT DID YOU LEARN AS A CHILD, THAT WAS NOT EXPLAINED TO YOU ? I asked this, because of a subsequent question which should format your brain ? And that question is; What if ALL you were told are wrong ?


My point is this;
Anything you see is real to you. What you do not see, which you are told about, might just be wrong. Yes, and I mean from God to the meaning of life.

My advise is very simple.
If you have known how to read, write, do a little algebra then, note this basic truth. Our countries all of the world built their economies based on Government and Business men, building businesses for citizens to work and earn their salaries. BUT, in the next few years, robots and apps, will do virtually everything. The world has changed, so do not follow OUR templates. It will not work for you.

INFACT, you youngsters should view us with suspicion, not because we want to hurt you, but because we do not know what we are doing by raising you in a culture that expects you to work a 9-5 job. That is a scam.

This planet needs advancements and more life changers dropped out of schools than regular humans. So, do not let ANYONE tell you, how life is. Look within yourselves, look at the sky above you, take a trip to the Ocean beaches and look at the sand and ask yourself. Why am I here in this world ? Just to work, make money, love, reproduce and die ?

When you find an answer, to that Question, I will tell you what will happen.
You will begin a journey to study what is Earth and What you are and your mission. When you discover your mission, then, that is your course in the University and if no University offers that course, then you will know you are the only University to offer that course.

That is the journey you are here for. You are the University, in the Universe, existing as a Uni, which means One. One is what you are and One means GOD. Study yourself. MAN know THYSELF

Bye

Billyonaire:

I agree that it is all experience, but some experiences are useless. Which means for some, they will live and die, with an experience which when they finally awake from this mental trapping then they will realize they just wasted a lifetime pursuing something not worth a piece of shit.

While I get your point, I can assure you that no experience in life is inherently useless because it must benefit someone if not you.

True, The problem with school is they decide where you should be smart and that's like saying we should all be the same, get the same marks and so on which seems like a group conditioning. You may want to avoid that and pick what you like on the Internet and even concentrate on it. Sure, Reading books and stuff on the Internet is good, but it doesn't even come close to replacing what you will learn taking a class at a university. Why??

Take for example if you wanted to teach yourself how to build furniture, You can learn a TON from reading books and looking at the Internet, but if you have a master craftsman (equivalent of a scholar in academia) teaching you then you learn all that and so much more in a matter of no time in comparison.

So, It would depend on what you will like to do in your heart because some things cannot be taught to one self on their own, yet many things can.

My point is that although the Internet is a great resource tool, you must be able to validate the Internet Material presented as fact in a class. That's the only way. So, your tenors suggesting Classroom Anti-Intellectualism is unhealthy.

Indenturing oneself that most classroom dropouts end up being inventors of repute and big income spenders could be a myth. There are hidden stories to their reputable invents and I think it's not a waste of time that you will agree with me.

If you attend a class with the attitude that you will use the environment to increase your knowledge and improve your mind, and then make every attempt to do so, you will never loose, as you will have developed a strong mind and powerful will that can be used in whatever situation you find yourself in. The "piece of paper" or degree is not what is needed, what has been learned is what is needed which is to broaden your understanding of the world, present multiple ideas and teachings from many different cultures, teach you to think in non-dogmatic ways, and increase your understanding of society and the individuals that comprise it, including yourself.

The University Degree in Nigeria is only a representation of what is supposed to have been learned.
