1. Discover Yourself and your Gifts!
Socrates the great Philosopher once said "Man Know Thyself" because he realized that the first and most important thing in life to discover yourself - to know your unique contributions to life. Many people just exist. They go along with the waves and current and anything that looks cool or trending. Their presence or absence in any place or gathering makes no difference because they are the "ME TOO" kind of people.

Unless a man discovers himself and know his gifting, he'll continue to operate in the lowest echelons of life (lightly esteemed and lowly look down upon).

2. Know how to Turn your Gifting into Financial Rewards
Discovering your gifts is one thing. Getting rewards for them is another. People don't pay you to do for them what they can do for themselves. THEY ONLY PAY YOU TO HELP THEM SOLVE PROBLEMS.

Until you are able to turn your gifts and talents into the solutions to people's problem(s), don't expect to get paid (unless from relatives and close associates)

3. Sell you Value Proposition
You can be as intelligent as Albert Einstein or as Innovative and Creative as Steve Jobs, but if no one knows you have those abilities, you will just live to be an INTELLIGENT-BROKE-ASS. Don't waste your time hanging around those critiques who see nothing other than reasons why those your products and services (skills, talent, abilities, etc.) won't work. Take them to people and places where there are appreciated and needed. Build and leverage on HUMAN NETWORKS as much as possible. (...to be continued)

4. Know the Difference between Assert and Liability
A lot of people still work with the assumptions that their PERSONAL houses, cars, electronics, gadgets, clothings, et al are ASSERTS. This is one misconception that slavery has ingrained in us from time immemorial. Robert Kiyosaki in his book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" explained: "An ASSERT is something that brings money into your pocket on its own while a LIABILITY is something that takes money out."

"WEALTHY MEN" spend their money and so do "POOR MEN." While it is what the wealthy men spend on that makes them richer, it is also what the poor men spend on that makes them poorer. THE DIFFERENCE LIES IN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AN ASSERT OR LIABILITY TO YOU.

5. Read (and own) atleast 30 books before you are 30
The saying goes that two things determines where you will be in the next 3 - 10 years: The people you associate with and The Books you read. Someone else said that when you find a man of uncommon intelligence, ask him what kind of books he reads. The Whites jeer us by saying "if you want to hide something from the blacks, put it in a book."

There are so much I have to say in this respect but note, the more you are diversified in your knowledge (know a lot within and outside your area of specialization), the better your chances of success in any industry. It is said that it is what you don't know that kills you.

THIS IN MY OPINION, IS ONE OF THE KEY FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MASS UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AMONG GRADUATES. This is because we are SO MUCH reliant on our schooling systems, when these systems DO NOT teach us ALL the basics we need to know that are required of us out there. Practical things like:
=Attitude and Character
=Interpersonal Relationship
=Personal and Corporate Leadership
=Time Management and Time Evolution
=Temperaments
=Entrepreneurship (Ability to pick anything and turn it into a business)
=Public speaking and Skilful Communication
=Nigeria taxes and its effect on business
=Business Plan, system and proposal
=Why FAILURE is a necessary TOOL for SUCCESS
=Work and Dining Etiquettes
=Dressing and Clothing for several purpose
=Writing your Curriculum Vitae/Resume
=Trending IT equipments and Office Tools
=Multi-tasking
=How to conduct one's self during job interview
=How to manage Marriage/Love life with work and other things effectively
=How to Transform your Talents and Gifts into financial rewards
=The school will also not tell you that you will NEVER BECOME WEALTHY by being an EMPLOYEE (All what you will hear is study hard, get a good grade, so that you can get a good job. I LAUGH )
=etc etc etc etc etc

ALL THESE THINGS ARE HIDDEN IN ONE BOOK OR THE OTHER.

6. Get a Mentor
A Chinese adage has it that "better than a thousand years of diligent search, is one day with a great Mentor - a great Teacher." Another saying goes, "when we stand on the shoulders of people that have gone ahead of us, we see into the future." Do not only resort to getting a ROLE-MODEL, get a mentor - a person with more experience than you in your chosen field, and be HUMBLE ENOUGH to follow his/her leading and teachings. All great men since the time of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, etc have succeeded following this single principle.

7. Get (a) Professional Certification(s)
Since 1989, we have moved from the INDUSTRIAL AGE to the INFORMATION AGE. In the Information Age, it is no longer how HARD you work any more that count but how SMART. As a result, two kinds of certificates are required of you in the Work Force or Labour Market nowadays: EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION (like the B.Sc, B.A, B.Ed, B.Tech, LLB, etc. that you have where you earn less if at all) and a PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATION (like ICAN, PMP, CCNA, NIMN, OCA, etc. where you earn more)

Believe me when I say that regardless of your Grade in School, a Professional Certification provides better opportunities in the WORK FORCE {i.e. a THIRD CLASS STUDENT with a STANDARD RECOGNISED Professional Certification stands a better chance out there than a student with only SECOND CLASS UPPER (CGPA =4.49)}

8. Know the true Definition of Love
Love goes beyond a plate of Mr. Biggs, a one-time gift of golden chain, a Brazilian hair, a Blackberry phone or Car Key on a Birthday, 5-rounds of GOOD sex, broad chest and shoulders, nice lines extracted from Ramsey Noah, Sexy eyes/looks/endowments, etc. In Marriage, you will need much more than that (which I know that is where most of us are headed).

Love does not stop as an EMOTION - Love is COMPLETELY A RATIONAL CHOICE. This is because when the HEAT (challenges of life and of the relationship) begin to show up, those EMOTIONS die off temporarily or completely. The only guarantee at this time in your relationship is the REASON(s) you cannot let go (Which have to be set aright from the outset while thinking rationally).

Love is not blind - that is an illusion. LOVE SEES CLEARLY AND MAKES CAREFUL CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE MAKING COMMITMENT.

Some of the greatest qualities of love are found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. In all my reading, I've not been able to find a perfect replacement for this.

Nope!,we don't pray we find ourselves in such a situation.
Like I said earlier, printing of the CUL will actually start around that 10-11am this morning all things being equal. Remember we experienced something like this during reg, it started around 10as well.
Let's keep the hope alive.
