Everybody in life
regardless of what one does intend to survive and meet daily needs and subdue
constant challenges of life. I remember my days in the university, one of my
erudite lecturer told us that the real life is on the street, we as a young
undergraduate students that time never seems to understand but instead focus
all our attention on getting the best grade possible and expect being employed
by famous companies.
However,
as at that time, I don’t seems to understand what employment means but instead
my thought is about getting all I needs in the world by working for others.
Therefore, few years after college, I began to realized that what my lecturer
said about life after school was eventually true by saying that the real school
of taught is on the street which will be felt after graduation. I eventually
believe is true by my little experience as a job applicant. As at now, my eye
has open to what it really mean to be a job seeker, applicant, employee or a
paid worker.
Armed
with this experience, I ask myself several questions, what is the significance
or essence of education?, is it all about going to school to study both
necessary and unnecessary laws and theories?, get the best grade, hire by the
best company if so lucky and live on the fate of others throughout your
productive years as a paid worker
“Hence, an average college graduate expected to be hired by highest
paid company with the hope to earn financial freedom and enhance their personal
success”. Only few people get their dream job
after graduation and majority of paid employee are in a job that they are never
happy about but seems to have limited options as a result of self limitation
and lack of personal discovery. It is nothing but the truth that only few
people that is company labourers that are happy and fulfills with their present
or past jobs.
My
personal experience as a paid worker remind me that no matter how instrumental
you are in an organization, you are still a paid, hired worker which is subject
to be fired, live on ever adjusted paid salary or wages, sold your freedom,
compel to do a particular task whether you like it or not, guided by decision
of others, embrace and live with financial struggling and constant bargaining
for increase salary, Realizing the dream of others leaving your career
aspiration in jeopardy.
Spend
your productive years in an unproductive place and retire as penury pensioner
and expecting gratuity that may never come while you are still alive
With
my few years of experience as paid worker, being a paid worker do not differ
from restricting opportunities available to you in life. No matter how
committed, instrumental and influential you are, you still remain a hired
worker.
“You choose to be hired worker because you do not know your worth
or value”
At
a point in my career as a paid worker, I was mad at myself for taken such job
that devalues my personality. This prompted me to take decision and risk that
only few people can embrace. My dear reader, any job you hold on to that
belittle you in all standard is better you let it go or else you are not far
from dying in penury. Sincerely speaking, only few jobs can make you reach your
goals in life. If you are not sure of this, take personal assessment of your
life, measure your progress and the progress of your organization and see if
your life reflects the progress of your organization over the years.
The
effort, knowledge, skills, time, commitment and risk you invested to another person’s
organization if you entrust this to your personal venture you will be amazed at
the result you will get. Achieving personal success and career aspiration in
life is all about you doing what pleases you, doing what you all always wanted
to do, doing it at your convenient time and the way you think it is the best,
doing it in the way you think is the best using your desired intuition
It
is high time you embrace your personal liberty and set goals for your life. The
organization where you work was established by someone who might not be smart,
intelligent, skillful, hardworking, talented and valued oriented as you are but
pick your weakness and put price on you to his own advantage. Check your life
and the momentum of your career success and grade yourself to ascertain whether
you are on the track or totally off the track.
“Life is not all about surviving and enduring but at least of
fulfillment”. Are you are fulfills person? I want you to know
that, what will make you is already inside you. Discover it and shore high to
the peak of your career. Being hire worker will offer you nothing than;
financial insecurity, constant cash-strapping, frustration, job insecurity, fixed or time
based salary bargaining , lack of fulfillment, inefficiency in the use of
personal skills and talent, ineffective use of your active and productive years
, threat of being sack and long lasting financial struggle and broke.
One
thing that I want to leave you with is that if you fail to act now and you fail
in life, creation will not forgive you. “Therefore,
if life fails to give you what you want then give life what it deserved”.
You have no excuse to fail but to succeed. However, if you eventually fail then
your generation to come will not be happy with you. You offer your incoming
folks nothing by dying as a struggling pensioner but leaving a great landmark
entrepreneurial empire will be the best legacy you can live behind you.
