Gold is a well known substance with such a great worth that is second to none. In fact, it’s so invaluable that many nations depend on it as a source of income. Countries like China, United States, Australia, South Africa, and Ghana derive a huge percentage of their national income from it. Little wonder the word “gold” represents treasure. It therefore means that the goldmine-the source of gold- is a place to behold!

Dear reader, I want to reveal a secret to you right now. Well, you might have heard it before or perhaps you are coming across it for the first time. Here it is in the simplest form: ‘THERE IS A GOLDMINE INSIDE YOU’; it’s a fact, not a myth! There is a great reserve of the highly sought-after treasure inside you. That means you are precious! You are priceless!! You are invaluable!!! I mean YOU. YES, the person reading this article. Then, why have you embraced mediocrity? You must realise that the world is waiting for you to bring forth the refined gold that is inside you. What are you waiting for? There are great ideas in you, there are great skills that you need to discover. God has made you complete, do not undermine his purpose for your life. Don’t join the league of people that believe you don’t need to stand tall in the society. You know what? They are yet to know what they really worth. Today, many people believe they are failure because they have failed some exams. Some are even dejected because they have failed in their relationships. Many believe they were created to be poor because they don’t have enough cash on them. Oh no! They are very wrong. All these are just some of the mining processes that the raw gold in you need to pass through before becoming the much adorable gold that the world has been waiting for.
It’s so pathetic that some young people have even lost their self-worth. The way you see yourself determines your carriage in the society. This in turn dictates the quality of respect you get from people in the society. At times, some people feel inferior to enter certain places. It’s so bad that they can’t even talk to some set of people because they see themselves as too inferior and worthless. If you belong to this category, please there is an urgent need to change your mentality right now; you have a perfect nature and there is a brighter future that lies ahead of you. Many unborn babies are crying and waiting eagerly for the irreplaceable legacies you will leave for them to follow; you can’t afford to let them down. Remember, there is an extensive goldmine inside you. I have heard certain young people say they can’t stand up to speak because they are not “beautiful” or “handsome”. Surprisingly, many would say they can’t disclose their identities just because they did not study some hyped courses or attend certain institutions. Common! That’s the thinking pattern of a man without any seed in him. For instance, there is this general sentiment about polytechnic graduates in Nigeria and yet, the highly respected motivational speaker and mentor, Sam Adeyemi, is a polytechnic graduate. Are you surprised? Please, don’t be! It’s not all about institution or course, it’s about YOU; Institutions will only help in some stages of the mining process, the whole task of refining that innate gold still lies with you.
Let me share another of such sentiment with you. Many young people would say they can never become teachers. In fact, they believe teaching is only meant for those who do not have better job offers. Yet, I have a friend who had made up her mind right from childhood to become a successful teacher. Her name is Miss Ibitoye Omobolanle; she inspires me a lot of young people. Considering her level of brilliance, you would naturally conclude that she is best suited for medicine or law profession as widely believed. But, she would always say: “Teaching is my passion, I love it so much. I want to build lives right from primary school stage; I want to sow seeds into the lives of the future leaders. Teachers are builders and I’m very proud to be one of them”. I’m not surprised that she is a highly desirable teacher by parents of pupils in the school. It pays to be diligent at whatever you do.
Starting from today, you must know your worth. Walk on the street with your shoulders high. No more worries, no more regrets, no more inferiority complexes, no more depression. You must not allow the great wealth inside you waste without expression. Dig the goldmine inside you, refine the gold and offer it for the whole world, especially our dearest nation to use. If you refuse to do that, many people will starve to death. Do you want to be tagged a “murderer”? God Forbid! Then, you must start today, tomorrow might be too late.
TAKE HOME POINT: Forget all the failures that you have experienced so far, they are mere events that can’t determine who you are because YOU ARE A READY-MADE TREASURE. Start a new beginning; this is your time to shine!
