As technology keeps evolving, life seems more complicated, consequently surviving becoming more difficult and challenging.
Truth be told, the advancement of technology has changed many facets of life, including human relationship and interaction.
As the world keeps changing, there is the need for humans to keep up with the pace as well.Change they say is the only constant phenomenon in life and life is indeed becoming the-survival-of-the-fittest. And for you to survive and excel despite the cut-throat competition, you need not to be good alone but twice as good to get half as far.
Education alone in today’s society does no longer guarantee success in life. It takes a functional education coupled with some basic skills like communication skills, technological skills, life skills, social skills,moral skills etc. to survive and excel.
Lots of graduates throng the streets these days trying to secure employments but to no avail. Can we rightly say that this category of unemployed youths are not twice as good as they ought to be to get half as far? Or could it be a societal-generated problem or negligence on the part of the youths to tap into opportunities available to them?
The answers to these questions are not far-fetched. It all boils down to the mindset of an individual being intentional with what they do.When you have the mindset to excel irrespective of the societal challenges,you will. It all takes intentionality to aim and get to the stars. So, the question is: have you been intentional about your future?
Intentionality at whatever you do builds you to being exceptional, and in today’s competitive world, if you are not extremely good at what you do, to get half as far would be impossible; for people who get noticed are people who do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
