This morning I posted an article on following advice. It is the first Wednesday Wisdom Words that I am sharing for the year. Want to have a read? Check it out on https://ogunleyeakinola./2017/01/04/wednesday-wisdom-words-1/.

On hind view of my article, I am deciding to share a story that buttresses the soundness of following advice if it have been proven to be good.

So I went to one of my former teachers looking for an opportunity to kickstart a career in education. After exchanging pleasantries, I got to my main purpose of visit. I told him I wanted a job as a teacher but he informed me that there was no vacancy as of that moment. He nonetheless advised me to put pursuing of my masters degree a priority first and then think of a career in lecturing. I heard him, thanked him but I did not act on that good advice. I made no consultation, no medication and definitely no decision.

Sometime later, I discovered that I really had a passion for education. A Master degree will be needed but I had none. So I began to make consultations. The first person gave me the same advice : " Akin,go for your Masters ". The second, the same advice, the third, the forth, the fifth and so numerous that I have lost count.

Could I have benefitted if I had acted on that advice? Yes I could have. I could have saved time. I could have been nearing the end by now. But I guess it is not too late.

So I am deciding to act Now.
Now is the time.
Tomorrow is like wasting another precious time.

I sincerely wish someone had read this and decided to always consult people for advice, meditate on advice given, and take action if there is a sound reason to do so.

Peace.
