Doing what people term as normal thing is good, being creative is better. Creativity is when you think out of the box or get rid of the box itself to find solution to a problem, it start from an early age of a child when he uses sand and paper to build houses, cars and other interesting things; its start from when he cry to draw his mother’s attention.
Everyone is borne creative. Yes everyone including you.
A lot of people have made a kick out of what was believe by some people to be unproductive. Things like:Writing, e-commerce, Banking, the internet e.t.c
Internet as we know it today have make people rich, as the richest people in the world make their riches from internet. People like Bill Gates, Jack Ma and our own Nigerian youths like Seun Osewa of Nairaland, Abdullahi Tosin of Naijawriterscoach are making a living and more from their creative thinking.
Authors like J.K Rowlings have also been renowned and known by most people in the world because of her creativity, her ability to think out of the box.
All these people start from somewhere, and you as well can start from somewhere to make more than a living.
Some months ago i was broke and i try to think of ideas on how to make money, i came up with two actually but both of them require capital to start. One requires about a million naira but the other i can afford, so i ventured into it.
The idea was to create a website where students, like me, can get off campus accommodation. I realize i need to give it a name students can easily remember. I finally call it OFFKRENTS(OFF CAMPUS(K) RENTS). On launching this website of mine (www.offkrents.com). I started receiving calls from friends and other students who told me that it is a nice idea.
Jack Ma, CEO of Aliexpress and one of the richest people of the 21st century, once said that: the basic principle in business is to help others and by helping others you can as well help yourself. This is basically what i do on that website of mine.
Looking at the situation of the Nigerian economy, it is important that graduates be creative: Using their mind to think of how they can grow themselves and the economy at large. By helping yourself, you are helping our dear nation which means the nation have one less indigene to care about. Creating chance for others. So think of what you can start doing today, that will make you proud and self reliant. It might be anything. Just think of something you are good at and start doing it.
Or look for a problem that affect people around you and think of a easy solution, but don’t let money be the motive of everything you do. Trust me money will come while you help others solve their problem.
This post is dedicated to all Unilorin students as I wish you a happy resumption.
