I've come to realize that number 10 forms about 55% of the outcome of our endeavours. People work hard but you need luck at the end of the day. Even the bible says so in 1 Corinthians chapter 3 verse 6-7.

True - but with reality of Naija economy - Hard work does not necessary means wealth
Hardwork with God blessings is the key
If u do not work , you do not eat.
If u do not work smart, you cannot move forward
if u do not work diligently, poverty will be your friend
if u work without planning ,you are burning your energy
if u spend and do not save , then u planning to fail
if u spend and u do not invest, then u planning to fail
if u work and u do not rest, your health will suffer
if u do not work, do not expect manna from heaven
if u do not give at all, do not expect anyone to give

Not everyone will make it in life, no matter how hard they try and that's the unfortunate reality.

Society is in strata, people must exist in all echelons of society. That's why we have the rulers and the ruled, the monarchs and the subjects.

Some people are deliberately stepped down to be able to fit into the category of subjects.

When a king dies, highly ranked member of the kingdom would take the crown, not for himself, no! He would pick the rightful heir to the throne, who probably is less qualified than the man holding the crown. The elder or elder statesman would place the crown on the head of the heir to the throne, step a few feet backwards and bow or bend a knee in total submission and loyalty to someone he had just crowned king.

Don't let people push you become a square peg in a round hole. Life goes way beyond amassing wealth and material things. As long as you are not in debts and can cater to your immediate needs, be happy, always.

People like the Op will always be here to make others lose their self esteem and become depressed. He might be lying in the bed during working hours, while writing this. Don't be fooled.
Thanks

One of the most common excuses young people use now is "there is no job" whereas there are millions of ease2access opportunities out there online and offline.
Recently of our trainees decided to embrace our suggestion of him doing book keeping for shop owners around his vicinity...now he has over 40shops that pay him #3k weekly to help them keep records using a simple book keeping app!
That's over a hundred thousand naira weekly excluding some freebies he and his team gets doing the routine....presently he is been taught how to create a suitable one page web portal in order to integrate an affiliate marketing campaign for all the 40shops.

Deep Quote
Smart people embrace opportunities and grow rather than sink with excuses.

Re: 25 "Fake" Excuses You Make Every Day by Habinibi: 5:01pm On May 07, 2021
It is evident that what the Op said is true. As it can be seen from the comment section that people love giving excuses. Instead of them to squeeze out excuses from the life, they would rather embrace it and die with it.

Meanwhile, you can contact me for your Wears and wristwatches Nationwide. Also contact me for your lands and properties any where in the southern part of Nigeria. Thanks.
